0:00:02 > 0:00:04Australia. Home of the possum, cool surfer dudes, strange lingo...
0:00:04 > 0:00:06"No worries, mate. Fair dinkum." ..lots of sunshine
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and the bonza Barrier Reef.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11It's the biggest, most spectacular coral reef in the world
0:00:11 > 0:00:14and what's more, every creature is linked to another.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Just imagine one huge family tree dating back 18 million years.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22From the miniscule to the mammoth to the miraculous, they're all
0:00:22 > 0:00:24connected in Barney's Barrier Reef.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Hi, I'm Barmy Barney.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48And I'm Gorgeous Gemma.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Today, we're in the barrier reef, searching for
0:00:51 > 0:00:53the creature with the fishy factor.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57We're looking for any fishy talent in this ocean.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We've cast our net far and wide to find the most seaworthy talents.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04From animal acrobats, crooning crabs, even dancing dolphins,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06anyone can enter in...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13There's an amazing array of talent in the barrier reef
0:01:13 > 0:01:14and they're all connected.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18We've got an amazing show lined up. Costumes, feats of strength,
0:01:18 > 0:01:23amazing dance moves that will delight, so don't miss today's show.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Get on with it.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And of course, we've got our amazing judges,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Simon Coral and Danni Mantaray. Do you like my suit, Simon?
0:01:32 > 0:01:37- 100%, no.- Oh. Well, let's get on with the show!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42So without further ado, let's introduce our first act.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51First up today is the amazing fish swimming-display team.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53And to the left, and to the right.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57And this formation team is made up of thousands of plankton-eating tuna
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and they are putting on an amazing display for us here,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03with their line-dancing meets Red Arrows air display routine.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And their talents don't stop there.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11They may look like they're in a huge fishy choir
0:02:11 > 0:02:13but they're opening their mouths
0:02:13 > 0:02:17really wide to eat as much as possible.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Musical AND greedy!
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- But you have to admit, Barmy, they have got rhythm.- Oh, yes.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Their intricate formation dancing is their way of snaffling the plankton.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Their movements drive as much plankton as possible
0:02:29 > 0:02:30into those large mouths.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34One thing you haven't mentioned, Barmy, is that swimming together
0:02:34 > 0:02:38in a huge school keeps fish safe from potential predators.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40There's definitely safety in numbers.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So, Simon,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45any interest in signing these guys up?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48100% none of your business, Barmy.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Guys, you were awesome.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Wow, what a start to the show.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The reef does have talent! Who's our next contestant?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Let's welcome to the show our dancing dolphin duo!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10APPLAUSE
0:03:12 > 0:03:15They've started with a double synchronised jump.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Amazing co-ordination there.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Looks like they surprised our camera crew.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23They're never disappointing, these fellows.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Look at that single, followed by double, water-leap.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29They're certainly as playful as ever.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33They can reach speeds of up to 25mph.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yippee!
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Always an audience favourite, but what does Simon think?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Well, that was an incredible performance.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Wow... they've impressed Simon Coral,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and we all know that takes some doing.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Thanks again to our delectable dolphin duo.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Awesome.- Like our school of plankton-eating tuna, these guys
0:04:07 > 0:04:11are great group swimmers. Both contestants are connected by
0:04:11 > 0:04:14their love of performing together.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16So who's our next contestant?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Now, you may know the parrotfish as dudes who spend their days
0:04:22 > 0:04:25chomping rocks, foraging for their favourite snack of algae,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29and with jaws like that, who can blame them?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32But tonight, they'll be demonstrating a truly hidden talent.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Please welcome to the show our next contestant, the tremendous
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- tangoing parrotfish! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Head straight, eyes ahead, Miriam, and turn.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What an elegant pair.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52Especially considering their rather unpleasant habit of pooing sand.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Well, that's understandable, with all that rock-chomping.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, they're in perfect symmetry on this number and of course,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01this routine is their mating dance.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So it's something they're both
0:05:03 > 0:05:06very familiar with, the male leading the female in a traditional fashion.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Well, thank you very much to our wonderful performing parrotfish.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Let's go over to our judges
0:05:19 > 0:05:21to see what they made of their timely tango.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Well, I thought it was pretty good. A little old-fashioned, maybe.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I'd like to see them try something contemporary next time.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- I completely disagree.- You would! - It was amazing.- I didn't like it.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Although they may seem different, our performing parrotfish
0:05:38 > 0:05:39and delightful dolphins
0:05:39 > 0:05:43are connected by their graceful and elegant dancing style.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48What an amazing display, but can our next contestant do any better?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58These amphibian-type fish come all the way from the mangroves.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Their many talents include telescope-style eye accessories
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and an ability to fill their gill chambers with water,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07creating their very own oxygen tank.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- I wouldn't want to skip this act. - Ha-ha!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So here they are. It's the mudskippers!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Yeah!- I think they're limbering up.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I don't know quite what to expect.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Amazing!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Quite an amazing acrobatic display.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33He's done a two-leaper, and a three, and a four.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36They're using their impressive front pectoral fins
0:06:36 > 0:06:40to catapult forwards. I think
0:06:40 > 0:06:43it's a form of modern dance. It's very unusual.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48And of course, this is all a display purely in the name of love.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Yes, Gemma, love is the inspiration behind these amazing 60cm leaps.
0:06:53 > 0:06:59And see how they raise their top fin which gives the leap extra emphasis.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Quite an unusual act from the mudskippers.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Not MY idea of romance,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09but what did the judges think?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- 100% no.- Guys, it was a brave attempt but for me,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17you need to think more about your costuming.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18GROANING
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Oh, dear. Not a popular decision with the audience.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Well, dancing for love got no love from Simon Coral.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And just like the parrotfish duo,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31the mudskippers' talent is reserved for that romantic moment.
0:07:31 > 0:07:38- Time for your next reef talent.- Well, they may be the smallest
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- contestants, but they have a huge talent for camouflage.- (Barney?)
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Yes, what is it, Gemma? We're on air.- I know, but I can't see them.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- What do you mean? - Our next contestants.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I can't see them. It's just coral.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55No, Gem. That's part of their act.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58They have the best disguise in town.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Oh, I see.- But that's not why they're here today.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please welcome the tiniest
0:08:06 > 0:08:09trapeze-artists in the world, the pygmy seahorses!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I want to go there.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21- I made it!- 'It's an incredible display of agility and bravery,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23'to trapeze the through the water.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26'Bearing in mind their tiny size, it takes a lot of strength
0:08:26 > 0:08:28'and should not be underestimated.'
0:08:28 > 0:08:32'Especially for something that is the size of a fingernail.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36'Oh, I think he's going for another leap. You can feel the tension here.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40'Oh, and he's made it!'
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Amazing!- Thank you, pygmy seahorses.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- You can stop HORSING around! - THEY LAUGH
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Let's go over to the judges and see what they thought of that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I've always liked you guys, and today you were bonza!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And it's worth bearing in mind that one small step for us is
0:09:01 > 0:09:06a giant leap for this little fella. So he's connected to our other
0:09:06 > 0:09:10athlete, the mudskipper, through their shared acrobatic ability.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12OK, it's nearly time for a break
0:09:12 > 0:09:16but before we do, let's take a reef-cap over our reef talent.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22First up on today's show were the unforgettable plankton-eating tuna.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25These guys are just made for performing.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Another gang of group dancers were our delightful dolphins,
0:09:29 > 0:09:30certainly not camera-shy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36They rarely fail to disappoint. Inspired by love, our passionate
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- parrotfish brought a tear to Danni Mantaray's eye.- For a change(!)
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Good to see them taking a break from chomping rock and pooing sand.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Another romantic display from our acrobatic mudskippers.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50They got the thumbs-down from Simon but were an audience favourite.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56And what about our pygmy seahorses, the cutest trapezists in town?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59With their camouflage coral, they are a whinnying combination.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I think I'll do the jokes here.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Why did the whale cross the road? - Oh, I don't know.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- To get to the other tide. - BOOING
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Get on with the show.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Our next contestant is limbering up. Its Brian the boxer crab,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21joining us all the way from the bottom of the ocean.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I'm doing this for the anemone.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Without their support, I wouldn't be here.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30A clue to his specialist skill is his anemone pom-poms.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33He borrows them, as he uses the stinging cells of the anemone
0:10:33 > 0:10:38to warn off predators, and this has culminated in his act today.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41OK, it's time to see him in action.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Take it away, Brian the boxer crab!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Ready? OK.
0:10:46 > 0:10:52C-R-A-B, carrying the anemones, to keep away his enemies.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Two, four, six, eight, who do I appreciate?
0:10:55 > 0:10:56The anemones. The anemones.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59The anemones. Oh, I'm so good.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03As you said, Barmy, he uses the anemone's stinging cells
0:11:03 > 0:11:07to really good effect here, giving an amazing cheerleading performance.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12But let's not forget cheeky Brian also snacks on the job.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16He's using those anemones to scrape bits of food off the floor.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Adio.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29What a character. Let's see what our judges thought of his performance.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Well, it's just not special enough. My advice would be,
0:11:34 > 0:11:39- leave the anemone alone and get on with your life.- Controversial.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Brian was a crowd-pleaser but he didn't win over Simon Coral.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Brian the boxer crab is linked to our leaping pygmy seahorses because they
0:11:48 > 0:11:50are both solo performers.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Who else has got talent?- Well, we have a relative of Brian
0:11:55 > 0:12:00the boxer crab up next, taking part in a completely different field.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Derek the decorator crab and his incredible stick-on accessories
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- loves his fashion.- Whatever!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11But will this be enough to impress Simon?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Derek the decorator crab!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Ooh, I'm itching to stick this bit of algae on. Oh, phew. It's on.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26How many accessories does one crab need?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29This act just seems to be about him dressing up.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Ooh, and he's going for the white-fluff stick-on.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36I think I just need this bit of white stuff here,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38a white ball of random fluff...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Just give it a clean first.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- Ooh, I love dressing up!- And of course, these cunning crabs are
0:12:44 > 0:12:47called decorator crabs because they spend most of their time
0:12:47 > 0:12:50decorating themselves in bits of the reef to disguise themselves.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54Like all our performers, this skill does help him survive in the
0:12:54 > 0:13:00potentially dangerous ocean world, so his love of accessories allows him
0:13:00 > 0:13:04to blend in and keeps him disguised from predators.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11So, let's see what our judges made of Derek.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13You know I like you, Derek.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15But I'd have liked to have seen something new from you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Whatever!- Well, you know, I've got to say, Derek.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21That was...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29..utterly dreadful. 100%.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Well, Danni likes Derek but Simon doesn't seem so impressed.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Yes, but look at HIS fashion-sense.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Er, OK, it's time for...
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Simon! Simon, come back! You know you're MY idol.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Both the decorator crab and the boxer crab believe if you don't have it,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54borrow it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56The boxer crab borrows anemones
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and the decorator crab borrows whatever he can lay his claws on.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Who's up next?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- The colourful cuttlefish have some stunning routines.- Oh, baby!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09But today we're lucky to be joined
0:14:09 > 0:14:14by a rare species, the only known poisonous cuttlefish in the world.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Let's all join together in welcoming our next reef talent,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Cuthbert the cuttlefish!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Cuthbert is here tonight to demonstrate his awesome,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33some may say spooky, ability to change colour.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35This is looking promising.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38OK, he's started with some yellow edging-colour.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I think he might go for the full body transformation.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Oh, look, he's added a rippling effect to the yellow trim.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Now, that's amazing.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And another complete outfit change.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- I think this is his best performance yet.- Oh, yes. Look.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58And his walking movement really helps demonstrate his flashing colours.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Very impressive.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Of course, this isn't just about looking flashy.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05He's perfected this skill to help him hide, hunt for prey
0:15:05 > 0:15:07and warn off predators.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Goodbye! - Well, the audience love him.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Let's see what our judges think.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17By far the best performance of the show. 100%.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22- That was the best performance by far. 100%.- Thank you, Danni.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Echoing Simon exactly, there. Of course, our contestants are
0:15:27 > 0:15:30connected to each other like all our barrier reef guys and gals.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34And the cuttlefish is no different. His crazy colour-change display is
0:15:34 > 0:15:36a fashionable defence,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39just like the decorator crab with his amazing accessories.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Let's meet our next reef talent.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Now, our octopus is a regular
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- on the talent scene, with his many superior skills, eight arms...- Mm!
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- ..ink-bombs...- Ooh! - ..superior, intelligent brain.- Wow!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Oliver, let's see you in action.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00And he's getting his siphon ready.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I wonder if he's going to treat us to some jet propulsion today.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Er, Oliver? You're on. Wake up!
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Wake up!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Sorry.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17Wow, it's the jet-move and the colour-change.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Incredible.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I wonder if he's peaked,
0:16:21 > 0:16:26or will we see more from this master of camouflage? Another colour-change.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29This time, he's imitating a rock.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33That was seamless. Oh, and look at him go!
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Oliver uses the red to warn off predators,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37and his white and darker colours
0:16:37 > 0:16:40when he wants to hide away or has been disturbed.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43He's mimicking coral, and now algae.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Indeed.- And for his final trick...
0:16:46 > 0:16:51Ah, maybe he's stretching out for a bit of yoga. He's a born performer.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Thank you.- A round of applause for Oliver the octopus.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Over to you, Simon.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00100% yes.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Simon almost smiled!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05What an incredible performance there by our colourful
0:17:05 > 0:17:07camouflaging octopus.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Just like Cuthbert the cuttlefish, he uses his colour-changing tricks
0:17:12 > 0:17:15to blend in anywhere.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Let's take a look back over our talented reef contestants.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26He was doing it for the anemone and today he cheered his heart out.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29An amazing display from Brian the boxer crab.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Simon wasn't impressed with any of our crab acts tonight.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Derek the decorator crab took the news hard.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I've spent my whole life decorating myself.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41To be knocked back this way has hit me hard.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Does my hair look OK?- Derek, it was a good performance,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47but both crabs love to use props instead of
0:17:47 > 0:17:51their natural skill, so maybe that's what turned the judges against them.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But Simon loved our colourful cuttlefish
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and actually smiled watching Oliver the Octopus.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Both creatures stunned us with their colour-changing performances.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04So, who else will impress our judges?
0:18:04 > 0:18:08It's time to find more talented creatures on The Reef's Got Talent.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Ah, camera, I'm here.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Hello! Look at me! I'm ready for my close-up.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Whoops. Sorry.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23That's no problem. What's a camera between stars?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26And there's a few members of this family performing tonight, and all
0:18:26 > 0:18:30have those prominent sticky-up ears that give them their name.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Can you guess who the next reef talent is?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I'll give you a clue. They'd better "harey" up.
0:18:37 > 0:18:43Oh, "harey" up. In that case, welcome the sea hares!
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Hello!- G'day, mate.- Hello!
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- I can hear you.- Ooh, some sliding about happening here.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54The sea hare is a mollusc like snails and clams, but the sea hare
0:18:54 > 0:18:57hasn't got an outside shell to protect itself.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Oh, what was that?- Believe it or not, Gorgeous Gemma, it was a poo-cannon.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05He can fire his poo?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Amazing.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11So, will the sea hare impress with his rather dirty habits?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Anticipation is at an all-time high here on The Reef's Got Talent.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- What's happened?- It seems that we've lost a contestant.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24He's disappeared in a puff of red smoke.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Oh, what an illusionist! This is his rare red algae-eating defence trick.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30If sea hares nosh on red algae,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33they can squirt out red and purple smoke and look like
0:19:33 > 0:19:37they've vanished, as an act of self-defence from predators.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ah-ha.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Amazing. I'd even say "hare-raising".
0:19:42 > 0:19:47Listen, I've told you, I'll do the jokes. Let's go over to our judges.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Well, you shouldn't be in this show. - BOOING
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I haven't finished. I haven't finished.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57You should win this show. The best performance of the night. 100%.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Thank you for that, Simon. I'm sure the sea hare family
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- will be delighted with that.- Yes.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Awesome. - And of course, this remarkable,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09colourful display connects them to our colour-changing octopus, Oliver.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11So can our next contestant compete?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15He is the length of a pencil,
0:20:15 > 0:20:19but has the best eyesight in the animal kingdom.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I'm not ready yet. - But he's refusing to perform until
0:20:22 > 0:20:24he's completed his spring-cleaning.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Like all shrimps, he's totally obsessed by tidying up.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But it looks like he's gearing himself up.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Rumours are we might get to see his right hook today.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Mr Mantis Shrimp clubs his victims to death with a punch
0:20:37 > 0:20:40as powerful as a 22-calibre bullet.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41I think he's ready for action.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47So, tonight he's demonstrating his talent for super-power punching.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50In the red corner, we have Super Shrimp.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53In the blue corner we have Courageous Crab.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Round one. Shrimp gets in there but Courageous is braver than he looks.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Good left hook, Courageous. Round one to Courageous Crab.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Round two.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Ooh, Super Shrimp delivers a painful blow. Crab hanging on in there.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13What stamina this young fellow has! Oh, what's this? It's all over.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Courageous Crab has had enough of this onslaught.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Shrimp is left with the prize, the crab's right pincer.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Wow, how did he do that?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- He's a shrimp.- He has his very own extendable club on his arm.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32This weapon can shoot out and knock his victims out cold.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37An amazing display from our mini-mantis shrimp.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Oh, Danni, are you OK?
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Um, it seems Danni's a little squeamish, so I'll do both verdicts.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Very hard-hitting and for once, I'll agree with Barmy.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Very impressive for a shrimp.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Talk about impressive firing techniques.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00We've had the sea hare, who fires purple ink at enemies, and
0:22:00 > 0:22:04the superbly strong mantis shrimp who fires his own personal club.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07What a talent. Who's up next?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Oh, hang on, it's Oliver again.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Sorry, one performance only! Rules is rules.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21Er, Barmy, it's not Oliver the Octopus. It's Olivia the octopus.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Are you sure? It looks very similar.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26There's nothing in the rules to say you can't have two octopuses.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Olivia has a completely different act!
0:22:30 > 0:22:34I am Olivia. Prepare to be left speechless, Simon.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35COUGHING
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Well, this had better be good. - COUGHING
0:22:40 > 0:22:45- She's going for the cola bottle. - She's not going to get in there!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Oh, yes, she is. She's squeezed herself through a hole
0:22:48 > 0:22:51the size of a little fingernail.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58This is an incredible act of contortionism from Olivia, here.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I must say, it does look a bit painful.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Well, luckily, octopuses are amazingly flexible.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14They're boneless, apart from their beak.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Beak? Is she a bird as well?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20So funny, Barmy! The beak is used to kill prey,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23but because the rest of her body is bendy,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28skilful octopuses like Olivia can squeeze through the tiniest spaces.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30For something with no skeleton,
0:23:30 > 0:23:33she's very muscular, but what you may not know
0:23:33 > 0:23:37is that she's also one of the most intelligent animals in the ocean.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'm a genius!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43And she seems to have won the judges over.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48- Great performance, but, you're just too cocky for me.- Oh. Oh, whatever.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Ignore him, Olivia. You've earned your cockiness.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53That was out of this world!
0:23:53 > 0:23:59Top marks for Olivia and her amazing cola-bottle contortionist trick.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04She's demonstrated amazing body power, just like our mantis shrimp.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Oh, hey. Ah, well, what a great ending to the show.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Before we announce the winner,
0:24:13 > 0:24:18let's take a look at the contestants of The Reef's Got Talent.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25What about our first contestant, the school of plankton-eating tuna?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Amazing, awesome, bonzer!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29And our delightful dolphins.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Always super-confident and they always deliver.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Who can resist? Well, not Simon, that's for sure.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Incredible performance.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40But Danni fell for our passionate parrotfish,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42with their tremendous tango dance.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44So beautiful!
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Our muddy mudskipper also loves to dance for love,
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- but Simon wanted to skip this performance.- Dreadful.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56The pygmy seahorses leapt with true bravery.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59A short distance for mankind, but a long-distance leap
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- for these little fellas, and won Danni's heart.- They were bonzer.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Another solo performer was Brian the boxer crab.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Simon had a very strong opinion on our cheerleading crab contestant.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Get a life.- Cuthbert borrows reef props to perform,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20like Derek the decorator crab, who covers himself in reef accessories,
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- but neither impressed our judges today.- Nothing new. Sorry, guys.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Next up, our camouflaging, colour-changing cuttlefish.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34What a creative spirit, but don't bite, his trick will make you sick.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yes, our poisonous cuttlefish caused quite a stir,
0:25:36 > 0:25:41as did Oliver the octopus, with his miraculous colour-changes.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44100% yes. I'd sign you on the spot.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48The sea hare. He cleared the studio with his red algae smoke-bomb.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53- One puff and he appeared to disappear.- Incredible.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59Quite a magician. But for true power, our mantis shrimp was magnificent,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01even if Danni felt faint for the wrong reason.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07Ha ha! But she's OK now. And with a punch as fast as a speeding bullet,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- I'd say no crab is safe. - Yes, we've kept Cuthbert and Derek
0:26:11 > 0:26:15well away from the mantis shrimp, just to be on the safe side.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Olivia, another octopus, and what a contortionist,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21giving David Blaine a run for his money.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24She squeezed through a hole the size of a fingernail.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Simon thought she was overconfident...
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- This had better be good. - but what a performance.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Olivia, you really pushed through.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We can certainly say from that display,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39the reef really has got an amazing array of talents.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Wouldn't you agree, judges?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42For once, I'm going to agree, Barney.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Some class acts on today's show.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50Thanks to all our contestants. It's time to announce the winner.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56- Olivia the octopus!
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- Congratulations!- Oh, well done, Olivia. Oh, she's in shock!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Well, it's been an amazing show, and to play us out,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13here are some of the judges' favourite contestants.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- 100% yes.- Awesome!
