0:00:04 > 0:00:07..HD, I might have... Naomi!
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Naomi!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10- Yeah? - SHE GASPS
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Tim, what on earth are you doing?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Don't go mad, I just wanted to play some music off my phone.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16You know you're not supposed to touch this stuff!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18I know, help me get it back, we're live in ten minutes!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21No, no, no, we're not live today, remember it's a best bits,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23behind the scenes kind of show.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24HE SIGHS IN RELIEF
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Oh, I was panicked, then. I was really panicked.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- You didn't change anything, did you? - No, not at all.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Good, let's go wild.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- BOTH: Hello!- I'm Naomi.- And I'm Tim. - This is Barry.- Hello, Barry.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Welcome to Wild!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10The show that is jam-packed with stunts, incredible guests,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12thrilling adventures and, of course, animal critters.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It is.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Now, believe it or not, a lot of hard work goes on behind the scenes
0:01:17 > 0:01:18- to get live TV into your homes. - Loads.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And this is a very special show cos we're going to show you
0:01:21 > 0:01:24exactly what it takes to make your Saturday mornings wild.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Here's Radzi!- Hello!- Hiya!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Have you seen the running order for this week's show,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I couldn't find it anywhere.- Yeah, of course we have.- Of course.- Yeah?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- That's weird. What's this? - Oh, that's nothing, is it, Tim?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Yeah, nothing, don't worry about that.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Weird.- And don't worry about the running order either.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43If you want to know what's in the show, Radzi, just look at this...
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Coming up on this special Access All Areas show we will be showing
0:01:51 > 0:01:55you behind the scenes and revealing what it takes to get us on air.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59This is all brand-new, this has never been done.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01The first time live on TV.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Wow!- This could be a disaster but at least we will have had a go at this.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Did you hurt yourself?- Don't...
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We will also be celebrating Wild by bringing you
0:02:10 > 0:02:12some of our favourite moments.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14We're turning, we're turning.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16SHE SHRIEKS
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Whoo! Oh, my goodness it is a long way down to the valley floor.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Just abseiling down here, Mum.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27There's also some fantastic new stuff too as Tim and I will be
0:02:27 > 0:02:30giving Radzi a taste of his own medicine in the final
0:02:30 > 0:02:32forfeit of the series.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Bringing you a live programme every week is an enormous operation.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43There are over 40 of us
0:02:43 > 0:02:46who all turn up a couple of days before the live show.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51From the riggers who lay down kilometres of camera cables
0:02:51 > 0:02:55to the props team, who make sure everything is on set.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59We're on location at our river show in Cardiff
0:02:59 > 0:03:03and while the crew are settling in we thought we would show you around.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06In case you think we just rock up and do a live show, oh, no, no, no!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10There's a lot of preparation that goes into this.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Let's walk and talk.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Now, this is an OB truck which stands for Outside Broadcast.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20And this is, essentially, the hub, the centre of everything
0:03:20 > 0:03:23we do that you see on TV comes right from this truck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Hey, hey in the sound booth. This is camera control.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32This is where all the camera feeds come in, screens and
0:03:32 > 0:03:36this is, yeah, cameras being controlled left, right and centre.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Shall we play a game where you leave the truck,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'll adjust a few buttons then you come back
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and you have eight seconds to tell me what I've changed?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Eight seconds? - TIM LAUGHS
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- We play that game all the time.- Do you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Some of you may have digital televisions,
0:03:48 > 0:03:50some of you may even have a satellite dish on top of your TV
0:03:50 > 0:03:56but they are nothing, not a patch on the bad boys that we've got.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Take a look at those...!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Let's come over to the battle of the beasties arena.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07This is where reputations are won and they are lost.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Got the leader board.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11The lovely leader board and moving into the prestigious winners'
0:04:11 > 0:04:15enclosure that every contender wants to be in,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17but not everyone can get there.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20This is the famous sofa.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Welcome to the sofa.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29One of the first things we have to film on location
0:04:29 > 0:04:32is the opening of the show. Known as the pre-titles.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35It's a scene too complicated to do when we're live.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40We like to inject a bit of adrenaline and on the river show
0:04:40 > 0:04:43we thought we would make use of all that water.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47We always like to do something a bit EXTREME in our pre-titles.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49So, today we are going to be in a white-water raft.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51He's going to think he's on a lazy
0:04:51 > 0:04:53river then he's going to get a shock.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Lazy river.- But it does mean that we have to try and do it once.- Yeah.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Because we haven't got time to set it all up again
0:04:59 > 0:05:01so it's pressure to get the words right.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03And there's no way we'll get them wrong cos these are the words
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- like this - go. - You start.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07SHE LAUGHS
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, yeah. Good job I didn't do that on the boat.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Tim always seems to get the lines right in the nick of time.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Ahh...!
0:05:14 > 0:05:15It's the life!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Er, Tim... - Two, one and off you go.- Tim!
0:05:20 > 0:05:24It's not a lazy river. Don't say I didn't try and warn you!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28SHOUTING AND SCREAMING
0:05:28 > 0:05:30'But on other show-openings across the series
0:05:30 > 0:05:32'he has much less to learn.'
0:05:34 > 0:05:36HE SCREAMS
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I'm waiting for my co-presenter, Tim.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41HE SCREAMS
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Honestly, where is he?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I said, "Allow plenty of time for the journey so when you get here
0:05:47 > 0:05:49"you are calm and relaxed."
0:05:49 > 0:05:52HE SCREAMS
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Hang on, can you hear something?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56HE SCREAMS
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Oh, ho, they've warned me about him. - SHE LAUGHS
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Hello, Tim.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04HE SHOUTS
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Look at him, showing off, bless him.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08He does think he's really good.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10To be fair he isn't that bad.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13But he's not that good!
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Let's do this.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Just a little kick-flip there.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Hup! Lovely.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Just curve it round the bottom.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Whoo! That was high. And back.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Hup!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Whoo!
0:06:37 > 0:06:43Woo-hoo! Yeah, that's cool. This skatepark gets my seal of approval.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Mine too. Oh, yeah. Why did I have to wear the blonde wig?
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Get out, get out, get out.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Let's go wild! They didn't notice.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Back on set on the rivers show,
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Radzi is about to meet a very important guest.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06No Wild show would be complete without wildlife.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12And, we've got expert Terry in the house. Check this out!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Terry, can you tell us what this is? - This is an Asian water monitor.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Sealung, the Asian water monitor is our main animal guest on this
0:07:21 > 0:07:24week's rivers show.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29And getting him settled in is a crucial part of our rehearsals.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I've just got Sealung on the floor here getting him
0:07:33 > 0:07:36used to his environment. Let him get some sunlight,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38and nice warmth as well.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Letting him get used to the crew and everybody looking at him.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43So it isn't too much of a surprise to him,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45but he's a good old boy, really, nice and friendly
0:07:45 > 0:07:49so he's quite used to the limelight and everybody looking at him.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58There's just enough time for him
0:07:58 > 0:08:01to do a bit of exploring before he's needed on set.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07See, he's got big powerful muscles in his legs
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and they are actually quite fast, they can run faster than we can.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12He also has a big powerful tail so you can imagine,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15packed full of muscle, you wouldn't want to get whacked by that.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18So, we do have do be a little bit careful around him.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20And we need to stop him going in the water with everyone.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22That's right.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26'So far, so good. Sealung doesn't seem phased by the limelight.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Oh, he picks him up like a little boy. Oh!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33We do have a lot of animals on the programme and this one is
0:08:33 > 0:08:35particularly ambitious and we are going to try
0:08:35 > 0:08:39and show him to you and also try and get him to swim mid-item.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42So, whether we can do that or not, who knows?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47But rehearsing the swimming might have to wait!
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Filling a pool big enough for Sealung to take a dip in
0:08:51 > 0:08:53could take slightly longer than anticipated.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58The water is going in very, very slowly.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59And we have got
0:08:59 > 0:09:02until 9am tomorrow morning to get this full!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Where is the tap? Can anyone turn this up a bit?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11We will find out later how Sealung gets on.
0:09:13 > 0:09:20Throughout this series, we have had tonnes of wildlife guests.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Look at that.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24We have had animals that are really cute. Hello.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Some that were desperate for their breakfast.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35And others that put you off yours.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36SHE GASPS
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It is like an alien, it is so strange.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41And one of the hungriest animals I met
0:09:41 > 0:09:43was a bat in Belfast.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46You have one of our British species of bat right here?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I have indeed.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51This is a Leisler and he is called Yo Yo.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Oh, so he's just eating a little meal.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Why have you got him?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Because he's damaged one of his wings and I'm looking after
0:09:58 > 0:10:00him until he heals up.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Then he will be released back into the wild again.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Making a lovely squeaking sound. - Yes.- He's enjoying that.- He is.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08We have a few different species of bat in the UK,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- don't we?- There are 17 to 18 in the UK and there are eight in
0:10:12 > 0:10:13- Northern Ireland.- Wow.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17They roost in houses. They roost under bridges. Tree hollows,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21places like that as well. If you want to see bats the best thing you
0:10:21 > 0:10:27can do is go out at night-time and go around parks, beaches, forests,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31countryside, anywhere where there is water and trees and insects for them
0:10:31 > 0:10:32to fly about and eat.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33If you see something big flying around at
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- night, it is not an owl.- It will be a bat.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41We also love having birds on the show.
0:10:41 > 0:10:47This is Barney. Yeah! You are fantastic.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Who is this?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- This is Pamela.- Pamela!- She is an eight-year-old female white-tailed
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- sea eagle.- She's absolutely enormous.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- They are the largest bird of prey in the UK?- Yeah, bigger than
0:11:02 > 0:11:05our golden eagle. They are the iconic species.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Can we look at that
0:11:06 > 0:11:10wingspan? That's ridiculously big.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Why do they have to be so big?- Well,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16they've got to carry this bodyweight through the sky
0:11:16 > 0:11:21along with their prey and they are normally catching fish and seabirds.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24They are nicknamed the barn door because of the size of them.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Well, we can see why. That is special.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29If they are catching fish, why do they
0:11:29 > 0:11:32need such deadly tools?
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Those are to grip the fish. This can carry three times its bodyweight.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41You can imagine a massive fish. She has almost sticky pads on
0:11:41 > 0:11:45the bottom of her feet that stick to the fish and she turns it so it is
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- facing forward and she is streamlined.- It has a massive beak.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55We have got to comment on Pamela's enormous beak. And that sharp bit
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- at the tip.- It glistens off the light.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It is an incredible bit of kit.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Does she use the end of her beak, is that
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- how she kills her prey?- She rips out the back of the neck.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Once she has grabbed it she rips out the back and then she is
0:12:09 > 0:12:11tucking right into her fish.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Amazing.- So brilliant.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17'We were lucky to be joined by another animal
0:12:17 > 0:12:18'that is surprisingly British.'
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- May I have a look at this?- You can. - Who is this?
0:12:22 > 0:12:27This is a male grass snake. The grass snakes are our largest
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- species of snake.- Isn't he lovely? - Beautiful.- These guys have a clever
0:12:32 > 0:12:34trick up their sleeve if a predator comes along?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yeah. Because they are
0:12:36 > 0:12:39harmless to us, the way they protect themselves is
0:12:39 > 0:12:41they can hiss at people
0:12:41 > 0:12:47- or animals, or they will turn around and play dead.- They play dead?- Yes.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Because nobody...- Nobody wants to eat a dead thing.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57- What do they eat?- Frogs, toads, newts and fish, but they will take
0:12:57 > 0:12:59mammals as well.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02'One of the most memorable encounters of all was when
0:13:02 > 0:13:04'I got up close to a serious blood sucker.'
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- We have got some lovely leeches. - Leeches!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11In the UK, there are over 30 different types of leech. This is
0:13:11 > 0:13:16the only one that will feed on human blood. It gets about 20 centimetres
0:13:16 > 0:13:20long and although it is a blood sucker, it is closely related to the
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- earthworms in the back garden.- Is it really?- Yes.- How do they suck your
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- blood?- Well, they have got three rows of teeth. They have a few
0:13:29 > 0:13:32hundred tiny teeth and they are in a Y shape,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34like an inside out triangle and they
0:13:34 > 0:13:37stick on to the animal they are going to stuck the blood of
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- and they slice in and that's what they do to suck the blood.- Ohh!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Now, I'm not going to volunteer to put my hand in, but, Tim, you
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- are happy to put your hand in. - I've got my sleeve rolled up.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Go for it. Let's see how they react to you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Straightaway. That instantly attached to your finger.- They detect
0:13:52 > 0:13:56the movement in the water and they can also taste.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00They use that movement to find a host and suck on to it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04That was ridiculously fast. How do you get them off?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05If you get a leech on
0:14:05 > 0:14:09you in this country, it is unlikely to be this type. This is rare.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12It will be harmless. In the jungle, all we do is
0:14:12 > 0:14:14scrape them off with a fingernail.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20As well as animals, here on Wild we also have incredible
0:14:20 > 0:14:22adventure guests every week too.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It is Tim's job to meet them.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Oh-ho! Round of applause!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Onto the back wheel - huge drop-off.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Oh! Chris, everyone.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Being an action-sports fanatic
0:14:41 > 0:14:44every Saturday he gets to have a go himself.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Ah! Whoo!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I'm coming.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Naomi! Help!
0:14:52 > 0:14:56On the rivers show we were joined by Lowri Davies,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59one of the world's top female freestyle kayakers.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And Tim got some kayak safety training ahead of meeting her.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Right, good luck.- Bye.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Yes!
0:15:16 > 0:15:17SPLASH
0:15:17 > 0:15:21I will admit that's not the best start of all the starts you
0:15:21 > 0:15:22could have...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26with kayaking. Capsized after about 35 seconds.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Couldn't remember how to get myself upright again.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Sorry about that.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I love learning!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46But after an initial ropey start Warwood got
0:15:46 > 0:15:48the hang of things in time for the show.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And we're going to get to witness Lowri right now in the flesh
0:15:58 > 0:16:01giving us a little demo right here on the white water, so...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06She makes it look very easy, indeed and it's not that easy.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Here she goes, then.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The practice paid off and Tim got fully involved.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24But one of his personal favourite moments from the series was
0:16:24 > 0:16:27meeting the guest from our urban show.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Our next guest is a man who can do things with a bike you didn't
0:16:30 > 0:16:31think were possible.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Flatland champion Lee Musselwhite.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Lee has been pushing boundaries for 17 years.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Inventing countless signature moves and new tricks.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Flatland is a freestyle form of BMX riding.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Moves include spinning, rolling and balancing on one wheel.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58In competitions riders are judged on originality and style.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Lee has been the UK champion twice
0:17:03 > 0:17:06and has competed at the highest level all over the world.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10He is regarded as one of the most creative and original riders around.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11CHEERING
0:17:11 > 0:17:13That looked epic in the video,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- how in earth did you get into flatland BMX?- It's really unusual.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I just saw a couple of guys trying some tricks,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21thought it looked really cool. Gave it a go...
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Sort of learnt a trick, practised, kept learning more tricks,
0:17:24 > 0:17:25just got hooked.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yeah.- Yeah.- How long does it take to get to your level?
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- I've been riding for 17 years.- Wow.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- I'm still practising, still learning to this day.- Still learning.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- Definitely.- That's amazing.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Talk us through the bike cos
0:17:35 > 0:17:37we've got a pretty trick set up here.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39It's like a normal BMX but there's a few things missing.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yep, it's just set up for stunts.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's got no brakes on it because all the tricks
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I do it's all about momentum and maintaining speed and balance
0:17:46 > 0:17:48so you don't need any brakes cos you don't want to stop,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- you want to keep moving. - OK.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- And my bike hasn't got a chain either.- Look at this.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So, I can't actually pedal it anywhere so I'd look a bit stupid
0:17:55 > 0:17:59if I tried to ride to the shops, cos I wouldn't get anywhere very fast.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Who'd love a demo from the British champion?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03We all would, absolutely.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05CHEERING
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Right then, Lee, take it away. Stand back.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I'm going to show you a few tricks.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13As he said, no chain ring on there, no chain so
0:18:13 > 0:18:16he's got to generate speed from pure momentum.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Just look at this.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19CHEERING
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Now, in a competition Lee would be judged on tricks,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24individuality, style, things like that.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26He obviously doesn't want to put his feet down either.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28He's going to get marked down for that in a contest.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You see him using the pegs at the back there.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Look for the little intricacies, the step over.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Look how fast he's spinning!
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- Nice!- OK, we've got one more. - OK, big finish. Here we go.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Makes it look very easy.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Opposite foot on there. - CHEERING
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Oh, one-handed. Big spin to finish, oh!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Yes, oh, Lee Musselwhite!
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- That was absolutely amazing. - Thank you very much.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06'I didn't let Tim have all the fun, though.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10'Throughout the series I've had some breathtaking moments on
0:19:10 > 0:19:11'my own adventures.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13'From abseiling tall towers...'
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I feel like I'm in an action movie or something.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Tom Cruise eat your heart out.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23'To having some scuba training to prepare me for my first ever dive.'
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Oh, this is so cool!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I love it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35This is so awesome.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I can just breathe on the bottom of a swimming pool.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It was time to do it for real, I was hoping to catch
0:19:43 > 0:19:48a glimpse of the pike, one of the UK's largest freshwater fish.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53If you know me at all you'll know that I'm pretty nervous
0:19:53 > 0:19:54going underwater.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I'm all right because this is a lake,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58so I know a shark's not going to come out of nowhere!
0:20:00 > 0:20:05The biggest and most legendary pike is called the Endrick Pike
0:20:05 > 0:20:08and its head is currently on display in the Kelvingrove Museum
0:20:08 > 0:20:10in Glasgow.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Now, that weighed in at an estimated 30-40kgs which is the size
0:20:13 > 0:20:17and weight of a average 12-year-old so I'm really hoping
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I don't meet one that size today!
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I really want to see one now.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30They have incredible camouflage
0:20:30 > 0:20:35so they can stay hidden in amongst the weeds, lurking out of sight.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40So, I may struggle to find one cos I might not be able to see it!
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Come on, pike, show us your ugly mug.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Oh, aren't you pretty?
0:20:52 > 0:20:57These are called perch. These are the main prey species of the pike.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01They do have a little protection cos they've got sharp spines
0:21:01 > 0:21:05on their fins and tail so that gives them a little bit of protection.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But they are not really any match for the pike.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well, sadly we're battling poor visibility
0:21:18 > 0:21:22and there don't seem to be any pike around here.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25So, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave this
0:21:25 > 0:21:29monster behind with its hundreds of teeth and go and get dry and warm.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I was disappointed not to see the elusive pike.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40But on another adventure I was lucky enough to go sea kayaking
0:21:40 > 0:21:44to Bass Rock where there was a world-famous colony of gannets.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Look, we have lucked out!
0:21:47 > 0:21:51The conditions are absolutely perfect today.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54There it is - the Bass Rock - just over a mile away.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56It doesn't look too far but it's going to take me
0:21:56 > 0:21:58around an hour of paddling to reach it
0:21:58 > 0:22:01so I've got a feeling it's going to hurt - got my bandages on ready
0:22:01 > 0:22:04for those blisters, but bring it on. I cannot wait to see these birds.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Go straight over these waves and just keep going?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Just keep paddling, nice and steady, don't worry.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- SHE LAUGHS - No capsizing allowed.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Just keep paddling out and just wait out there for me.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I can just see all the birds flying around it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30So many of them.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I did say it was supposed to be a nice relaxing day out,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38we're not racing!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I know, I'm just enjoying it, it's fun!
0:22:41 > 0:22:45From here it looks like a snow globe that's been shaken.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48All the birds look like snow all around the top of it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Beautiful.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Their wingspan's nearly two metres,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55that's just under the size of my paddle.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57They're massive.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Wow, look! So many birds.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Smells a bit like the penguin enclosure at the zoo.- Yes.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Their diets are very similar.- Yeah.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Eugh!
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- They really have found every single little crevice to nest in.- Yeah.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Anything just about flat enough to land on has got something on it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26There's a couple up there who are bill fencing.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's like the equivalent of our kissing and they do it to
0:23:29 > 0:23:32reaffirm their bond when they meet each other again.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33They're true romantics!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Look at the seal! It's right here.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Oh, wow.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Do you know, we have half the population of grey seals
0:23:45 > 0:23:48living around the British coasts?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Lucky us, I say, cos they're lovely.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Well, this has been wonderful.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55From this close
0:23:55 > 0:24:00and this low I can see why this is a world-famous wildlife spectacle.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03And to reach it by sea kayak has made it just that bit more perfect.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04But I'm pretty exhausted
0:24:04 > 0:24:07so could I catch a lift home with you guys, please?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Guys?! Come back!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14COME BACK!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17But, one of my most memorable adventures from Wild was
0:24:17 > 0:24:19when I tried my hand at dog sledding.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22DOGS BARK
0:24:22 > 0:24:26The fence is open and we are off! Whoo!
0:24:27 > 0:24:31SHE LAUGHS
0:24:33 > 0:24:35SHE SCREAMS
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Dogs like these and their close cousins, wolves, are perfectly
0:24:42 > 0:24:45adapted for this woodland environment.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51SHE RETCHES AND LAUGHS
0:24:51 > 0:24:53They can run at speeds of up to 25 miles an hour.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59And keep that going for over two miles. Now, that's endurance...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03MAN SHOUTS ORDERS
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Oh, we're turning, we're turning, oh!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Amazingly, half of these dogs are youngsters.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17They are almost as new to this as I am.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Hee-hee! Woo-hoo!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25MAN SHOUTS ORDER
0:25:26 > 0:25:30- That was brilliant, Alan.- Yeah? - I really enjoyed that, so much fun.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33It's very exciting when they take the corners at speed.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Yeah, it's good fun but if you think that was good fun wait till tonight.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39We're going to go out when it's pitch black here.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41WHINING
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Yes, you heard that right.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I'm going to have to do this all again in complete darkness.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I won't be able to see a thing.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53But it's not as crazy as I might think.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Lots of things live in the forest at night.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Wolves even hunt in the dark and have amazing night vision.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02I'm back!
0:26:02 > 0:26:05It's very cold and I'm ready for another ride with the dogs
0:26:05 > 0:26:07but I am feeling a bit nervous cos let me
0:26:07 > 0:26:10just show you what you can see if we turn our light off.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Can't see anything out here not even the light of the moon is
0:26:16 > 0:26:19helping us under these trees.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Just what have I let myself in for?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23DOGS BARK
0:26:23 > 0:26:24MAN SHOUTS
0:26:27 > 0:26:29MAN SHOUTS
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Waaahhh!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34MAN SHOUTS
0:26:37 > 0:26:39SHE LAUGHS
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I'm going to be sick!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43SHE LAUGHS
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Thankfully, dogs can see in light five times dimmer than humans.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's a good job cos if it was down to me
0:26:55 > 0:26:57we'd be crashing into every single tree.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08DOGS BARK
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Oh, amazing.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12What a wonderful experience.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15A little bit spooky being pulled through
0:27:15 > 0:27:18the forest in the moonlight but it just felt really natural.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Them following their instincts, just feeling their way
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and using all that power to pull us along.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Really strange, cos without the dogs there is no way
0:27:27 > 0:27:31I could get through the forest at speed especially not in the dark.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34But to them, just comes completely naturally.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37One thing that would have made that a bit better -
0:27:37 > 0:27:40a few degrees warmer would have been nice.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41I can't feel my toes!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Still to come on Wild...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Tim goes in search of an extreme sport to
0:27:50 > 0:27:52satisfy his love of the mountains.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Oh! Right into some, right into the poo!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And takes on his biggest challenge
0:28:00 > 0:28:04when he abseils the UK's largest waterfall.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I've actually lost the ability to speak.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10We also get to introduce Barry the crocodile to Radzi
0:28:10 > 0:28:12in our final forfeit...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15That is Barry the crocodile!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17And have to try and learn how to ride a wave
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and present to camera for our live rivers show.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24That's the last rehearsal we will have
0:28:24 > 0:28:26until we go live tomorrow morning.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Back on set on our rivers show
0:28:33 > 0:28:37and Sealung the lizard is finally settling in.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40'And I'm getting ready to record some voiceover, which is narration
0:28:40 > 0:28:44'to accompany the pictures you see on screen.'
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Every week we have short films that are played into the programme
0:28:47 > 0:28:49and we have to voice them before the programme goes live
0:28:49 > 0:28:51so they get played in, so this is just us
0:28:51 > 0:28:54voicing the films that are going to be played in to the show.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56And sometimes it takes us a few takes to get it right.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03The monitor lizard is about as close as you can get to a living,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05breathing dinosaur.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10'And voiceovers can take even longer when Warwood is around.'
0:29:10 > 0:29:11DOOR CREAKS OPEN
0:29:11 > 0:29:15..a raised fin on their long tails to help move through the water.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- WHISPERS:- I made loads of noise, then.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I was using the toilet and the door slammed
0:29:23 > 0:29:25and then my flip-flops went,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28"Knock-knock-knock" as she was doing voiceover.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30All three of us are needed,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32though, to record one of our favourite moments.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- SHE SINGS - Yes, it's on. She's on.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38# Radzi's crazy creations
0:29:38 > 0:29:40# Radzi's crazy creations! #
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Er, if anyone wants to sign us up for a record deal, we are available.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- We are.- Speak to our people.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- Very expensive though. - We're called Treesome.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Tree...- Cos we're like a three-o but we're a tr... we're a three.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- He's barking up the wrong treesome. - Ohh!
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Chip off the old block, he is, ha-hey!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Oh, good! I've got one, I've got one...!
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Let's get the tree out of here!
0:30:06 > 0:30:09GHOSTLY WIND EFFECT
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Embarrassing.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18But the crazy creations are a big part of the show,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21and the props team work tirelessly
0:30:21 > 0:30:23to make sure the set-up is just right.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29This is for Radzi's Crazy Creations.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Radzi sets us a challenge every week,
0:30:31 > 0:30:36and for this week it is creating a water wall, which is...
0:30:36 > 0:30:37I've never heard of it either.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40The water goes in here and it makes things spill, it drips
0:30:40 > 0:30:44and it channels and it goes through and it just looks cool.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Look at this. Little things and rainbow-y wheels and windmills.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50Yeah, it's cool.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52So basically, me and Naomi have got to try and recreate this
0:30:52 > 0:30:56and Radzi judges who's the best and hopefully it will be me,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58because if it's not me then I have to do the forfeit.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00You should be worried, Tim.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Across the series, you have got a terrible track record.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08This week, Tim and Naomi, you're going to make one of these.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Our very own mini pond. It's a volcanic model.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13You've got two minutes...
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Without further ado, we'll get started. Three, two, one.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19HORN BLARES
0:31:40 > 0:31:42HORN BLARES Stop your making!
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Look at the state of... You just chucked it all in.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47It is a battle royale of crustaceans.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- It's meant to be friendly. Doesn't matter.- It's a scarecrow!
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- It's in the title, "scare crow". - You never learn.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Right, it is now judgment time.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59The winner, without doubt, is Naomi!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02CHEERING
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Not a chance, not a chance.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08You go and get yourself ready for your forfeit, Mister.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09- No!- Yes, garbage.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14And, Tim, we enjoyed seeing you do all of those forfeits.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Do I have to do this?- Tim, you're going to have to do it.- Positive?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Yes, you lost. You lost the forfeit.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21HORN BLARES
0:32:33 > 0:32:35There he is.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- LAUGHTER - No!
0:32:37 > 0:32:40No! Tim, I am thirsty.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42NAOMI LAUGHS
0:32:42 > 0:32:45But, across the series, Tim hasn't always lost.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Sleep fingers.
0:32:55 > 0:33:00In fact, he has proved to be quite a champ in the Battle of the Beasties.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02CHEERING
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Woo!
0:33:06 > 0:33:10In this part of the show, we both represented an astounding animal.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14It's the raft spider. Woo!
0:33:14 > 0:33:17And this week I have got the sensational centipede.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Slow down, Lesley. - It's Naomi.- Whatever.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Because I have got the slug!
0:33:24 > 0:33:26And fought it out over three gruelling rounds,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29deploying all devious tactics necessary.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Listen to my voice, look into my eyes. Don't look at me, sleep.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34I'm going to win this round. Pow!
0:33:34 > 0:33:39They sometimes eat cat food, dog poo and sometimes each other!
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Tim, Tim, your mum is on the phone. Aw, that's nice.- Hi, Mummy.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47But what's this? A choccy, there we go.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49BELL RINGS
0:33:51 > 0:33:52I've got this, I have got this.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56OK, jellyfish have no eyes, no ears, no brain, no lungs,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58no gills, no scales, they have no legs, no bones.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00They are 95% water. Bof!
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Well, flies don't have teeth so what they do is
0:34:03 > 0:34:07they spit on their food to break it down and then they suck it up.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10OK, championship blow. Here it comes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Ants are tiny, yes, but it has been guesstimated
0:34:12 > 0:34:16there are 10,000 trillion of them worldwide.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19And if you were to put all of those into a bucket and put it on
0:34:19 > 0:34:24a set of scales, it would weigh the same as the entire human population.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Bof!
0:34:25 > 0:34:28BELL RINGS
0:34:28 > 0:34:31That is the end of Battle of the Beasties for this series.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It is now decision time.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The winner of this week's Battle of the Beasties
0:34:37 > 0:34:39and overall champion...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41is Tim Warwood!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44CHEERING
0:34:46 > 0:34:54- It's mine, it's mine!- No!- Yes! This is so unexpected.- Congratulations.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I'm not prepared at all for this. Oh, my goodness.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I would like to thank all of the mighty beasties that helped me
0:34:59 > 0:35:00win this, the mosquito...
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Tim, we have only got about 30 minutes left of the programme.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Tell them your speech.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Tim deserved that trophy.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08And across the series,
0:35:08 > 0:35:12he showed himself to be an all-round adventure hero.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Ah, the mountains. A place very close to my heart.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24And with snowboarding in particular,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I like to consider myself a little bit of a pro.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Cut!
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Honestly, I wasn't all that bad, OK?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47But it's not just my distinct lack of skills holding me back
0:35:47 > 0:35:51from snowboarding here in the UK, we've got one other problem.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53A distinct lack of snow.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56What I really need is a new sport,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59a sport that I can still do in the mountains.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02A sport that I can still do all of my really cool tricks
0:36:02 > 0:36:04and still get up loads of speed.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Where am I going to find a sport like that?
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Yes! Mountain boarding. Wait up, hang on!
0:36:17 > 0:36:18At just 22 years old,
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Matt Brind is the world freestyle mountain boarding champion.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27He's been riding and honing his tricks for over eight years.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32And today he is going to put me through my paces.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34We'll go rock, paper, scissors.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36You want to rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- BOTH:- Rock, paper, scissors.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Smash!- I'll see you in a minute. - You're first. Go for it.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Nice wide turns.- Nice wide turns.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Oh, it doesn't look fast but let me tell you this, it's
0:36:48 > 0:36:51a different kettle of fish when it is you riding down there.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Oh, it's bumpy. It's really bumpy.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58There's rocks everywhere. Don't be scared, Tim.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I'm going off! I'm going off! I'm in the bracken.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Yes, Matt!
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Oh, goodness, that is huge. It is all about leaning.
0:37:18 > 0:37:24Oh, right into some... Right into the poo! Oh, no!
0:37:24 > 0:37:27It's gone in my mouth and in my eyes, eugh!
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Oh goodness, that was ridiculous.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34- See you at the bottom.- Get it.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43Woo! Yes, Matt.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47He's a champion at this.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51He's a world champion at this, whereas I am an absolute beginner.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Do I hit the jump as well? Like Matt, or do I opt out?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58He's going to hit the jump.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Oh, my goodness. Woo-hoo-hoo!
0:38:02 > 0:38:06It feels like I'm going 6,000 miles an hour.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Tell my mum and dad I love them! Oh, goodness gracious.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Yeah, Tim.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18That experience was remarkable, but Tim went on another
0:38:18 > 0:38:21mountain adventure that was simply mind-blowing.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25I'm in the Scottish Highlands, home of mammoth mountains, giant lochs,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28and it's here that I am going to undertake my biggest challenge yet.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34I'm here to try and abseil down the highest waterfall in the UK.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39This thing is big, seriously big.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43And it's located on an isolated mountain,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46miles from the newest road.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Nothing about this challenge is easy,
0:38:49 > 0:38:51especially the name of the waterfall.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53HE MISPRONOUNCES IT
0:39:00 > 0:39:03It means "waterfall of the beautiful tresses" in Gaelic.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06I'm going for "waterfall of impending doom".
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Either way, it's just up there and it's really gnarly.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14And after an epic journey,
0:39:14 > 0:39:17it was time for Tim to take on his opponent.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Here we go, in the blue corner from Scotland, weighing in at
0:39:21 > 0:39:26around a bazillion tonnes of water, it's the UK's highest waterfall.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29And in the red corner, from Birmingham,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33weighing in at 88 kilos, Tim "Brown Trousers" Warwood.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Suppose we'd better get on with it, hadn't we?
0:39:38 > 0:39:41This is about as full-on as abseiling gets.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46We've got a small army of support crew to keep everyone safe.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51It's starting to dawn on me now just how extreme this is.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55OK, slightly... Yeah, I'm really nervous.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59There is no slightly about it, I am really nervous now, looking at that.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06One little slip here, slip in...aaagh!
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I'm ready, I'm off. Wish me luck.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Not many people would afford a look down, but I've got to do it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Just for myself.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Woo-hoo-hoo! OK!
0:40:31 > 0:40:34This really is adventure on an epic scale.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36It's time to forget my fear and go wild.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58I'm just abseiling down here, Mum.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01You see, at this point I should be talking loads.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05The director said, "Just do loads of chat on the way down."
0:41:05 > 0:41:07I've actually lost the ability to speak.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15The waterfall is so big we need to make regular stops to change ropes.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20But we're over halfway down and I'm starting to
0:41:20 > 0:41:22get into the swing of it.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Oh, yeah!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Water is just cascading down next to me.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44In full flow, millions upon millions of tonnes of water are pushed
0:41:44 > 0:41:46over the waterfall every day.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50So being this close is a phenomenal experience.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Woo-hoo-hoo! Yes, this is the best!
0:41:59 > 0:42:00I've crossed lochs, bogs,
0:42:00 > 0:42:05mountains and 200 metres of slippery vertical rock face,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09but I finally reached the base of this formidable force of nature.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Yes! I'm alive! Oh, nice rock.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- Oh, that was absolutely amazing. - It was great, wasn't it?
0:42:24 > 0:42:28That is just unbelievable to stand here.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32'There is really only one way I can celebrate.'
0:42:40 > 0:42:43It's gone down my neck! It's gone down my back!
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Every week on this show,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53we get involved in a host of wild activities.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56And back on the river set, we are
0:42:56 > 0:42:59getting ready to rehearse something very special indeed.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06The activity for this week is flow riding on a freestanding wave.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Jets of water get propelled up this slope,
0:43:09 > 0:43:11but it's not just me that gets to do it this week.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14- I'm going to have a go too! It's so exciting.- I know.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16I do feel sometimes... I know you might find this hard to believe,
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I do feel guilty that it's always me that gets to do the activities.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- But you actually surf, don't you? - I try, I'm not very good.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24But I do really enjoy it
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- so I'm looking forward to getting in the water.- Yes, we get to flow ride.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29- Is it warm?- I've got no idea.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31No-one's told us whether it's warm or cold.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36In the actual show, Tim and I will have to try
0:43:36 > 0:43:41and simultaneously flow ride and present on live TV.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44And even though we have never done it before,
0:43:44 > 0:43:46we only get one chance to practise.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52The force of the water is so powerful, I'm just a bit
0:43:52 > 0:43:57nervous that I might go flying up to the top and whack into the back.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03'It's only a rehearsal, but even Tim is struggling.'
0:44:08 > 0:44:10It's awesome.
0:44:10 > 0:44:15The water is coming out of the jets at 35 miles an hour.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18And when you hit the floor, that 35mph water
0:44:18 > 0:44:25goes up, up your lip, up your nose, up your eyes, in your ears.
0:44:25 > 0:44:31It's like getting flushed out by a trillion litres of water. Just...
0:44:31 > 0:44:34'OK, it's time for me to have a go.'
0:44:36 > 0:44:37SHE SQUEALS
0:44:40 > 0:44:43'And while I seem all right at hanging on,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45'I'm not too sure of attempting any tricks.'
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Go on, Naom! Go on, Naom!
0:44:59 > 0:45:03Live TV, it's all going to go wrong!
0:45:04 > 0:45:08'Our allocated rehearsal slot feels too short.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10'And the reality of the live is beginning to loom.'
0:45:14 > 0:45:16That is the last rehearsal we will have
0:45:16 > 0:45:19until we go live tomorrow morning.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21So...
0:45:22 > 0:45:25It doesn't really matter. Whatever you do in rehearsals,
0:45:25 > 0:45:29it's by the by. Because it's all about the live show.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31So from 9am - boom, you're in, and whatever happens
0:45:31 > 0:45:33you've got to go with the flow and roll with it.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35So we'll see what happens.
0:45:35 > 0:45:36Getting out and about...
0:45:36 > 0:45:40'In less than 12 hours' time, we will be going live,
0:45:40 > 0:45:44'and to add to our worries, even the script doesn't seem to be going in.'
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Do you see it? It's hit a freeze-frame at the end.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53So you've got to finish the dialogue, I think,
0:45:53 > 0:45:55just before it freezes.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Quarter past six, just about finished rehearsals, I think.
0:46:00 > 0:46:01We've been in and out of the water.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03We have been coping with baking hot sun.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Not normally a problem we have to deal with here in the UK.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09And all three of us can't remember our lines for toffee.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11I don't know why, they just won't go in.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13So fingers crossed we can learn them tonight,
0:46:13 > 0:46:15it's going to be a long night, I think, trying to swot up
0:46:15 > 0:46:19and keep fingers crossed that we can remember in the morning.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21And that all the animals behave.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33'It's the morning of the show
0:46:33 > 0:46:36'and the paddling pool is finally full with water!
0:46:38 > 0:46:43'And after getting up at 4am, the whole team is ready to get going.'
0:46:43 > 0:46:49- Hi, how are you?- Good. What will be more helpful for you this morning?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- To feed the questions and stuff? - Bacon roll!
0:46:52 > 0:46:56Then when you hear in there, "And live in 10, nine..."
0:46:56 > 0:46:59you have this adrenaline spike that goes...
0:46:59 > 0:47:03and you go like this for an hour - "Ding, ding, ding, ding."
0:47:03 > 0:47:05And then at 10 o'clock they go, "Ding, ding, ding..."
0:47:05 > 0:47:10And then they go, "And cut!" Off air. And you go, "Ahhh...!"
0:47:10 > 0:47:13'Before the show, there are the last-minute checks to be made.'
0:47:13 > 0:47:18I'm still learning lines. Right up until they say "live", right there.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24I'm obviously why they get such good viewing figures.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27I'm just nervous doing the show.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31'And everyone has their own way of dealing with pre-live nerves.'
0:47:31 > 0:47:32- Are you going for a poo? - Yeah, I think so.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Morning poo for Tim, please.
0:47:34 > 0:47:39- Can you put it on Tim's morning poo tally, please?- And now I'm excited.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42- The nerves are lowering. - One minute to go, one minute.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45'With everything in place, we are ready to be counted in.'
0:47:45 > 0:47:50- Let's have it!- Five, four, three...
0:47:50 > 0:47:53..two, one, zero.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56CROWD CHEERS
0:47:56 > 0:47:59- Hello!- Hello. I'm Tim Warwood.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01I'm Naomi Wilkinson.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04And we're here to ensure that this Saturday morning, right now,
0:48:04 > 0:48:07- for you, is going to be totally wild!- Oh, yeah!
0:48:07 > 0:48:13'Our star guest, Sea Lung, is in position at the right time.'
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Well, this is great, we are welcoming back Terry to Wild.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Thanks for coming back to see us.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19And you've brought an awesome animal along with you this time.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21- Who have you got here? - This is Sea Lung
0:48:21 > 0:48:23and he's our 13-year-old Asian water monitor.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Unwritten law of TV is never work with kids or animals.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29This is a children's animal show!
0:48:29 > 0:48:32He's used to people, but in the wild we have to look out for them.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34He's got big strong muscles in his limbs
0:48:34 > 0:48:36and a huge powerful tail there.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38You wouldn't want to get a whack off of that.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40No, you wouldn't. And I'm a little bit nervous.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41He's poking his tongue out at me.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43'And finally, Sea Lung
0:48:43 > 0:48:46'gets to demonstrate his abilities in the water.'
0:48:46 > 0:48:48As their name suggests, they do love the water.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52They love the water, yes. There he goes.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55- OK, let's see him in the water. - If I jump in with him.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59- You're going in with him? It's over there.- This way.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- Hopefully we can see him swim. - See how he pulls his tail along?
0:49:02 > 0:49:05He's just keeled over, just like a crocodile.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08We've never done this. This is all brand-new. This has never been done.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10'After the animal guest,
0:49:10 > 0:49:12'we move quickly to the Battle of the Beasties.'
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Got a mouth guard for you.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Knockout!
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Let me tell you something. Diving beetles can eat up to
0:49:18 > 0:49:1920 tadpoles in one hour.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21And let's go for the knockout blow, the first fact -
0:49:21 > 0:49:25they dissolve their prey!
0:49:25 > 0:49:26BELL DINGS
0:49:26 > 0:49:30That is the fighting finished!
0:49:30 > 0:49:33And there's been one contender that smashed the knockout blow,
0:49:33 > 0:49:37and plunging straight into the winners' enclosure
0:49:37 > 0:49:40- is the great diving beetle!- Oh, yeah!
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Well done, you lot. Well done, you lot.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45Flow rider, flow rider.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48OK, Battle of the Beasties done.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50I can take a breather. Straight over to Flow Rider.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52We are about halfway through the show.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54You can see it's pretty frenetic. Got to go!
0:49:54 > 0:49:58Flow riding. Oh, my goodness! I have never been so excited...
0:49:58 > 0:50:01'It's time to face the wave and there is no going back.'
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Well, listen, I am mad for it. I've got to have a go.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Radzi, watch this, dude.
0:50:06 > 0:50:12Tim, I am so jealous. Do we think Tim is going to be good, Matt?
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Well, he talks the talk, we'll see what he does.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18- Putting words into actions.- Yeah, here's a big talker, Warwood is.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Although he's an excellent snowboarder,
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- so I think he might be good.- Yeah.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25He's looking good, looking confident now.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29Let's see if he can put those skills together. He's standing. Yes.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Serious concentration on his face there.
0:50:36 > 0:50:41- Let's see if he can do some tricks. - Oh, he's nearly going. Yes, Tim!
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Yes, Tim! He's gone!
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Hold on a minute, the excitement in here.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Just looks too much fun. I want to get involved.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I've been hearing about knee boarding the whole series,
0:50:52 > 0:50:54- I want to give it a try. - Go on, Naomi.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Get involved. Off she goes.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00- I'm very jealous. So, do we think Naomi is going to be good?- Yeah.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03She has got that ballerina stance going.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07- They are together.- A little bit of tussling and fighting there.
0:51:07 > 0:51:11So is this really good? Oh, she's on her knees!
0:51:11 > 0:51:15- She's going for the knees. - She's on her knees. Yes, Naomi.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18She's definitely better than Tim.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Aw, big wipe-out. She is doing the aeroplane moves.
0:51:24 > 0:51:29- She's coming back up. Cowgirl rodeo.- Check her out!
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Setting up for her next trick.
0:51:34 > 0:51:39'So despite not having much time to rehearse, somehow we pulled it off.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41'And now we're on the home straight.'
0:51:43 > 0:51:44Glamorous(!)
0:51:44 > 0:51:48Six minutes to get back on and ready to interview
0:51:48 > 0:51:50the man about the crocodile.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56That was so much fun, I loved that. Just brilliant!
0:51:56 > 0:51:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:51:57 > 0:52:01'And before we know it, it's the end of the show.'
0:52:01 > 0:52:06- ALL:- Get up, get out and go wild! Whoo!
0:52:06 > 0:52:10- Boom! Boom!- Yes! Yes! Yes, high tens. Boom, boom, boom!
0:52:10 > 0:52:14Brilliant, brilliant. It's like a piano, a human piano.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17Honestly, it's the quickest hour of my life. Every Saturday morning.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19I never think an hour can go as quick.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22Nine till 10, it's like you blink your eyes and it's finished.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25I know it's our job to be able to talk and describe what we're
0:52:25 > 0:52:28feeling and what you're seeing, but actually, it's indescribable.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31To do an hour of live TV like that is just insane.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34- It was good, wasn't it? Yeah!- Yeah!
0:52:34 > 0:52:36I'm sure you saw all our adrenaline,
0:52:36 > 0:52:39all stress and all of that, but it is worth it.
0:52:39 > 0:52:40It's just fun, isn't it?
0:52:40 > 0:52:42- It's absolutely amazing. - To try all these cool things.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44INDISTINCT
0:52:46 > 0:52:49'It's a wrap. Time for everyone to go home.
0:52:50 > 0:52:55'But before we leave, there is just one last thing we need to do.'
0:52:56 > 0:52:57Throughout the series,
0:52:57 > 0:53:00Radzi's been throwing forfeits around left, right and centre.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04- Well, Tim and I have had enough. - Yes, we have.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06We've had it up to here with jeopardy.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09So our final challenge of the series, we are
0:53:09 > 0:53:12going to have a little race down the...pretty gnarly rapids,
0:53:12 > 0:53:15- I should say, on these luges. - Yeah!
0:53:15 > 0:53:18- Except, Radzi, you won't be needing yours.- What!- No.- What?!
0:53:18 > 0:53:23- Because we've got a special raft for you.- What is that? What is that?
0:53:23 > 0:53:28- That is a crocodile fitted with a camera to record your fear.- No!
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- How do I hold this?- We don't know.
0:53:30 > 0:53:35- But let's get into starting positions.- Good luck.- Ready?- Oh!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37I don't want to do this!
0:53:38 > 0:53:42- Three, two,...- You cheat! - You cheat!
0:53:43 > 0:53:44RADZI LAUGHS
0:53:46 > 0:53:50'Oh, dear. I'm not sure cheating is going to help you win.'
0:53:50 > 0:53:51I've already taken the lead.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01My crocodile doesn't float!
0:54:01 > 0:54:03'No, but it will help you go backwards.'
0:54:06 > 0:54:08NAOMI SCREAMS
0:54:08 > 0:54:12'As I take the lead, I'm not sure how to stop!'
0:54:12 > 0:54:16My crocodile doesn't float!
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Can't let her win.
0:54:23 > 0:54:28- I'm not going anywhere!- I can't...
0:54:28 > 0:54:32I can't let her beat me. I can't let her beat me.
0:54:32 > 0:54:37Yes, Warwood wins! Woo!
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Goodbye, Naomi. Goodbye, Naomi.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46- 'And poor old Radzi finally makes it.'- Oh, no, deep breath.
0:54:55 > 0:55:00- Ah!- Well, we lost Naomi. She went to the Amazon, I think. She's gone.
0:55:02 > 0:55:06Radzi nearly died. But Warwood is victorious!
0:55:06 > 0:55:11- This crocodile is useless.- There she is, she's alive.- She is alive!
0:55:11 > 0:55:14But the best thing is, Radzi didn't win!
0:55:14 > 0:55:18I couldn't stop! I didn't know how to stop.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22I just went into the distance. I'm sure I won, though.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26You didn't win, I won. You won the fastest over the rapids.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30But if you thought that was good, it is nothing compared to
0:55:30 > 0:55:33all the best bits from the series.
0:55:33 > 0:55:34Oh, what's inside there?
0:55:39 > 0:55:40You all right there, Tim?
0:55:40 > 0:55:43# And we danced all night... #
0:55:46 > 0:55:48It's lots of fun. We get to mess around a bit.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53"Can you skateboard?" "Yeah, I can skate."
0:55:54 > 0:55:56"Can you dress up as a girl as you do it?"
0:55:56 > 0:55:59- Three, two, one! Jump.- Go!
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Yeah!
0:56:05 > 0:56:09- Hello and welcome to Wild. I'm Naomi Wilkinson.- So am I. Sorry.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Start again, didn't know you'd do that. Believe it or not...
0:56:12 > 0:56:15hard work goes into making the show come live to your TVs.
0:56:15 > 0:56:19And does that make sense? My glasses are steaming up for some reason.
0:56:19 > 0:56:20HE LAUGHS
0:56:20 > 0:56:23- I'm taking them off. - Glad we're not live.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26What cheese do you use to entice a bear out of a tree?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28- What cheese do you use? - "Cam on bear". "Cam on..."
0:56:30 > 0:56:32He does a good impression of Darcey Bussell.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Oh...
0:56:36 > 0:56:38What did the cheese say when he looked in the mirror?
0:56:38 > 0:56:40"Hallo me".
0:56:40 > 0:56:43Good. Great work.
0:56:43 > 0:56:47THEY CHEER
0:56:53 > 0:56:54This is wild, isn't it?
0:56:56 > 0:56:58We are turning, we're turning. Oh!
0:56:58 > 0:57:01- It's fun, get out there and get involved.- Oh, my...
0:57:03 > 0:57:08Turning this...into this, into this.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11CHEERING
0:57:11 > 0:57:14We are very excited. And what did we think here?
0:57:14 > 0:57:18- Well, it is quite astonishing. - In a word, it was awesome.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20- ALL:- We went wild!
0:57:20 > 0:57:22Woo!
0:57:31 > 0:57:34Probably one of the most amazing things I've ever done.
0:57:40 > 0:57:45Do not forget... Get up, get out and go wild!
0:57:47 > 0:57:50- I'm ready for that cup of tea.- Er...
0:57:50 > 0:57:53Oh, you haven't forgotten the tea?
0:57:53 > 0:57:55- Sorry, it's down there.- Seriously?
