Episode 5 The Getaway Car

Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa

and the ultimate relationship road test,

where five couples fuelled by love are about to handle cars fuelled...

by fuel. Belt up, this is The Getaway Car.

LOUD HEART BEAT

ENGINE REVS

WHISTLE BLOWS

TYRES SCREECH

HE GROANS

Yeah, that was great, Stig, but you know, technically it's not a goal

unless the whole of the ball crosses the line.

Oh, my God!

THEY SCREAM

Stop! Stop!

Get in there!

Today's contestants might have all passed their driving test

but not one which will have prepared them for this.

It's a series of utterly nonsensical rounds

where not only will they have to perform an emergency stop...

Stop the car!

SHE SCREAMS

-You do not listen.

-I do! I so do!

..their relationship could well go through a three-point turn.

Belt it! Belt it! You can do it!

But when all is said and done, driven,

one couple will emerge victorious and get the chance to win £10,000

driving this...

..The Getaway Car.

That is the upside.

The downside is they'll be up against one of the most feared men

behind the wheel on the planet...

Top Gear's The Stig.

With him, tonight's finalists go helmet to helmet

in a high-octane midnight chase to try and win that £10,000.

You might not be able to see the whites of his eyes,

but you can see the whites of his overalls, helmet and shoes.

Right, foot off the brake, let's get this show on the road.

So, let's meet some of today's speed demons

determined to make it to the finish without denting their relationship.

Husband and wife rockers Binny and Neil -

are they on the highway to hell, which is just outside Cape Town?

Best friends and boxers Talibah and Ami -

the gloves are off, but can they deliver a knockout blow?

To the others, that is, not each other.

And best buddies Pete and Richard,

whose lifelong friendship has stood the test of time

but will it withstand The Getaway course?

A rum bunch and no mistake.

Let's see how shipshape they are after round one - Hazard Highway.

First to go are the Yellow team.

Taking the wheel is Jodi

and by her side, her big sister and fearless co-driver, Aimi.

-Oh, my God!

-It's not gone anywhere yet.

-I don't care, I'm scared!

Two years separate Jodi and Aimi

and a love of One Direction fuels their car journeys.

It's the Little Things...that's their third biggest-selling single.

-You look good in yellow.

-We weren't cos I was thinking

blonde hair, yellow, I'm going to look like a giant lemon.

-We like the car.

-We've got the best car.

It's a cute little car, isn't it?

-And we are like fun little daisies.

-Yeah.

These fun little daisies are here to win

and go home with 10,000 big ones.

What kind of driver are you?

-I've been told I drive quite aggressively and like a man...

-Yeah.

-..but I think that's because I was taught to drive by a man.

-Yeah.

On Hazard Highway, our five couples will face obstacle after obstacle.

It'll test their ability to support each other,

their communication skills,

in other words, their relationship.

Only the fastest three will qualify directly for the next round.

So, let's see how the pair cope with this for starters -

a five-storey drop - it's the Multi-Scary Car Park.

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

KLAXON SOUNDS SHE SCREAMS

-Woohoo!

-Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Kicking things off with a nice bloodcurdling scream.

It's a race against the clock and a tight if somewhat lopsided

squeeze through Tin Can Alley.

BONKERS BY DIZZEE RASCAL PLAYS

-Now we're going to go on two wheels, Aimi, OK?

-OK.

SHE SCREAMS

Jodi taking it all in her stride.

-Aimi...

-Oh, my God!

..not so much.

Don't make me laugh cos I can't...

Onto the giant Seesaw next.

SHE WHIMPERS AND SCREAMS

She's so scared.

How is she going to cope with this -

the poorly-engineered Bridge of Doom?

I'm going to close my eyes, I can't look.

Badly, is my guess.

Towering literally 5,000ft above the course,

this is literally scary.

I'm never going to forgive you for this, ever, ever, ever!

-Slow down! Slow down!

-Right, OK?

No, I'm never going to be OK with this.

-Oh, my God!

-We're going up, we're going up.

Time to exit stage right and down.

It's Car-agara Falls.

# Let it go, let it go #

-SHE SCREAMS

-# I am one with the wind and sky

-# Let it go... #

-MUSIC AND SCREAMING STOP ABRUPTLY

JODI LAUGHS

I'm going to be sick.

Disorientation ahoy! It's Human Sat Nav next...

Right, OK.

..Designed to test the girls' communication skills.

Oh, my God, go forward slightly.

Baby sister Jodi is blindfolded...

You need to tell me what to do.

Turn! Turn! Turn to you!

..while big sister Aimi guides her around the roadworks...badly.

Turn to me! To me! To me!

Where are we?

To me! To me! To me! To me!

Right, we're on the roundabout.

Turn to you! To you! To you!

-We sound like the Chuckle Brothers.

-Yeah!

CHUCKLEVISION THEME PLAYS

Turn to me! To me! To me! Oh, my God! Now we're off the roundabout.

To you! To me! To me!

To me! To me! No, to you, we're going in the...

Now we're in the gravel.

Oh, my God, it's coming in! It's coming in!

After all the roadwork shenanigans...

Go! Go! Go! Go!

..time for a brush up in the bubblicious Car Wash.

Light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh, yeah, much cleaner.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

The sisters have reached the final obstacle. Who's for Car Football?

-WHISTLE BLOWS

-There's the ball, there's the ball.

Aimi and Jodi need to drive that gigantic football

into that gigantic net as fast as they can and avoid,

yeah, gigantic defenders.

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go in, in!

-They think their drive is all over...

-Get in the goal!

THEY SCREAM AND IMAGINARY CROWD CHEER

..it is now.

# A little less conversation a little more action. #

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Into the home stretch

and a cracking time of 07:26 for the Yellows.

I'm never doing anything with you ever again.

-How was that?

-I need a wee.

-HE LAUGHS

So, how were we?

All I heard was this...

HE SCREAMS

My ears are bleeding.

-Enjoy it?

-No, I wouldn't do it again.

Let's meet our next couple who are raring to go.

KLAXON SOUNDS

-Oh, yeah! Just like...

-SHE SCREAMS

From Brighton, husband-and-wife team Binny and Neil

have been married for nine years.

-I love you.

-Right, OK. No, I love you too, baby.

Let's hope the marriage can make it to double figures

after they've faced the vow-wrecking Hazard Highway.

Right, right. Yeah, that's it.

# Average, ordinary, everyday dude. #

However, there's something fiery lurking in these red racing suits.

-You're rockers, aren't you?

-Rock, rockers.

-We love our rock music.

Despite Neil's rock credentials,

it's Binny who wears the leather trousers in this relationship.

-I'm driving.

-How did we decide...

-Hm-hm.

-..pleases the wife, simple as that.

-I understand that.

-Simple as that.

-What I say, goes.

Looking forward to the relationship surviving this test?

Well...it might not.

Keep going, keep going, we're safe, we're safe.

And on that note, the couple head towards a very slippery slope.

-Breathe, breathe.

-OK, but...

-We're sliding! We're sliding!

-Woohoo!

-That's fine, that's fine.

ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

That's fine, that's fine.

-Come on.

-WHEELS SCREECH

-I can't, it's...

-Well, I didn't know, did I?

-It's slippery!

-I didn't know

Time I think to meet the Green team -

husband and wife duo Dave and Paula,

whose 13-year marriage is as solid as a rock...

..currently. KLAXON SOUNDS

SHE SCREAMS

Wow!

This besotted couple have been feathering a little love nest

in the Outer Hebrides and now have their eyes on a big new prize.

# Look of love. #

What does make you a formidable team?

Well, you drive fast.

And you think fast, there you go.

A match made in heaven and they've never even had an argument,

not even one.

Will they be able to say that after Human Sat Nav?

That's it, stop! Stop!

Go forward to the right, to the right, we're going up the ramp now.

We'll find out the true test of a relationship...just watch this.

Left onto the roundabout.

Right, slowly to the right, to the right.

-You're on the roundabout. Have you got your bearings now?

-Yeah.

To the right, to the right, to the right.

-# Don't stop me now... #

-Harder right, harder right.

# Cos we're having a good time, having a good time.

Now left and you're out.

Slow claps.

So, after what can only be described as a display

of flawless marital communication - there's hope for us all -

The relentlessly chirpy Greens complete the course

in the fastest time so far.

We did it!

Let's rejoin the Reds and see if rock chick Binny and rock bloke Neil

will make it through the Human Sat Nav unscathed.

Go right a little bit, right a little bit.

Right, straight, straight, left, left, left, left, left.

That'll be a no, then.

You hit The Stig!

Look at The Stig, literally just like this.

O FORTUNA BY CARMINA BURANA PLAYS

Hit The Stig's digger and there will be consequences...

Reverse it! Reverse it! Reverse it! Right, straight on!

Straight on! Straight on! We're in the gravel here.

..muddy, watery consequences.

Stop! Stop! Goggles off. Goggles off.

Remember, only the three fastest couples

are guaranteed a place in the next round.

Foot down, FOOT DOWN!

Yeah, come on!

Despite the now infamous

Binny-car-Stig-digger incident,

the Reds have stormed through the course in a cracking time.

You do not know your left or your right. You do not listen.

-I do, I so do!

-You weren't. I said left, you went right.

I said right, you went left. You need to work on the listening.

SARCASTICALLY: Aww, wedded bliss.

I love you.

My baby.

Oh, hi! Was it fun?

It was so much fun!

-Oh, thank you.

-Good job.

For the first time ever on the show, you crashed into The Stig.

-There was a Stig?

-What Stig?

-The Stig up there, look,

behind the wheel of the digger.

O FORTUNA BY CARMINA BURANA PLAYS

-You went straight into his tyre.

-Oh, my God. Look, I'm actually shaking.

I know it was there, so we're just eliminating The Stig

for the later rounds.

-So, he's been there the whole time?

-The whole time.

He's a chatty chap, isn't he? He didn't flash us a wave or anything.

O FORTUNA BY CARMINA BURANA PLAYS AGAIN

So, with three couples having miraculously survived

Hazard Highway, let's take a look at the leaderboard.

Only the fastest three couples get

an automatic place in the next round

and the Greens true love-fuelled

performance puts them

safely through.

At the end of the round,

the slowest two finishers

will be thrown into a terrifying

high-speed race-off...

..with these two...

..The Stig's nephews - Grumpy and Grumpier.

Their job is to scare our contestants witless

by driving them round the track as fast as they can

whilst the contestants try and keep their wits about them.

Our next couple have no intention of being in the race-off.

It's the jumpy, fighty team in blue Talibah and Ami.

-We met each other at the...

-Muay Thai gym.

-Muay Thai gym?

-So, Thai martial arts, a form of kick boxing.

OK, I'll just be here. THEY LAUGH

Yeah, she's got fierce kicks, so...

-Are you a good driver?

-Yeah, I am very good.

I'm just a natural driver.

Am I looking at the winners here?

Absolutely, we're in it to win it, you see?

This has got Kick-Ass Three written all over it.

-# Born to be wild... #

-Woohoo!

That would be the PG version then. MUSIC DIES OUT

Can you see any lights? Are we looking for lights?

I don't know what we're looking for. Can we not go?

-When's this going to go up?

-I don't know.

What... What are they doing?

I think they might be the politest start to the course we've ever had.

-Was that meant to happen, guys?

-I think so, let's go.

When did you pass your test?

I passed about a year...over a year and a half ago.

What about you?

Over ten years. Ten years, yeah.

-That doesn't make any sense.

-Me too, me too. I'm just confused about it.

MELLOW JAZZ MUSIC

Why does it keep stalling?

Cos you're not clutching... You're not having your biting point.

Engine on.

-There's slow and then there's very super slow.

-That's it, that's it!

Slow!

Sorry.

Just straight... Handbrake.

Handbrake.

Time to meet our final couple.

Tickled pink today are bosom buddies Pete and Richard.

So close, they even share a tattoo.

It's weird.

HE LAUGHS

So, this is embarrassing in the pub, isn't it, especially in pink.

Well, a little...a little.

They're little rockets and they say, "To infinity and beyond."

And beyond. Oh, the Buzz Lightyear.

Cartoon spacemen, pink princess car...

I'm getting confused signals from these guys.

# Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on

# You've got that feeling that I want. #

-I don't know the rest of it, to be honest.

-No, I don't.

-I always...

-# Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on. #

-Oh, my God!

No stopping at the barrier for them, then.

Quick! Quick! Quick!

Oh, my God. Ey up!

How do you guys know each other?

-We went to primary school together, didn't we?

-Yeah.

-So, you've known each other from...

-Four, literally.

-Four?

And then we moved on to secondary school...

-Oh, you went to secondary school together as well?

-Yeah.

-Steady though. Steady, steady.

-Then took him to college.

-We did the same degree...

-DERMOT LAUGHS

..and then we had the same job across the desk from each other.

This could be it, this could be the end.

Oh, my..!

-BOTH:

-Oh, my God!

Get out the way..

That's it, nice, nice, nice!

Good work, the lads are pelting round the course.

To the right, to the right, to the right.

But over in the land of the cones...

-You're not doing to the right.

-I'm doing right.

..the girls are finding it frustratingly slow going.

Left, left, left, left, left.

Talibah and Ami had better step on it,

or they're going to be in that race-off.

You're on the roundabout now. Left, left.

Right! Right! Right! Right!

Dead slow, dead slow. Right, right.

-Right?

-You need to go right, right, right.

What's happening?

I think we've proved once and for all that slow and steady

does NOT win the race.

-Tell me what's happening cos I'm smelling something.

-Reverse back.

Go straight now. Straight.

No, go left! Go left! Go left! Go left!

Stop the car!

# You've got a friend in me. #

So, the Blues' sat nav seems to have developed a critical failure

but a quick check-up on besties Pete and Richard -

totally on the same wavelength.

Slowly creep it in.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Go on, quicker.

-IMAGINARY CROWD CHEER

-Oh, yeah!

-Come on! Come on!

Absolutely gun it now, this is it.

To infinity...

and beyond!

-BOTH:

-Woo!

-Absolutely rinsed it!

Woohoo!

Woo!

Blast off!

All five teams, yes, even the Blues,

crashed, smashed and made the occasional dash

round Hazard Highway.

Time to reveal who's straight through to round two

and who's in the race-off.

Oh, I'm going to cry!

Sitting pretty at the top is team Pink.

-I'm happy that.

-So were number one, then?

Speedy and giggly David and Paula are in second.

I can't believe it, I'm chuffed to bits.

And finally directly through to round two,

lighters in the air for Binny and Neil.

HE LAUGHS

That leaves Team Yellow in fourth place...

-At least we didn't come last.

-Oh, my God! Thank God!

And Team Blue in fifth.

-# Why does it always rain on me. #

-'Anything I could have done

'to prepare more?'

I could've been the driver, for a start.

How has it come to this?

HOW has it come to this?

No!

No! No! No!

Amys, Red Stig and Blue Stig are going to drive you two laps

around this track as fast as they can.

Your job is to give me multiple answers to one question.

Whoever gets the most correct answers

goes through to the next round.

Whoever gets the fewest correct answers, your team goes home.

It's time for the race-off or, this week...the Amy-off.

HE IMITATES EXPLOSION

The Stig's nephews are men of few words...

Do you want me to drive or you?

..who thankfully let the machines do the talking.

How exciting, Stiggy!

No? All right.

Are you...?

He's staring at me!

Players, are you ready?

Name as many of the following as you can...

Come on!

..official UK cities that begin with a letter

in the first half of the alphabet.

Three...

two...

one...

Go!

And they're away. Time to shout out as many UK cities

beginning with the letters A to M as they can.

Aberdeen, Birmingham, Cardiff...

Yellow Aimi is off to a flyer.

Donnington, Billingham...

Where?

Aberdeen, London...

Er...

London, Scotland...

Yeah, Scotland!

Drive! Drive!

One lap down, one to go.

Biltwell.

SHE SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY

Newcastle, is it the first half? I don't know.

No surprises their minds are going blank,

The Stigs are drifting round there at 70mph.

Bristol, Bath...

Go! Go! Go!

-Yes!

-And they both take the chequered flag, it's all over...

I don't want to get in the car with you ever again.

..but how many cities did each Amy name?

Can we shake hands or something? Something?

Shake hands, it's only fair.

Let's find out.

Yellow Aimi, you got...

-three correct answers.

-Oh, my goodness! That's awful!

It's really hard.

Blue Ami...

..you got...

-..four correct answers.

-Yes, we're in!

We're still in!

So, it's goodbye to the Yellows...

One more, you could have just done one more.

..and the end of a special friendship.

This is my sister, Jodi.

He's not listening to you.

He is moody.

It's possibly the worst date I've ever been on.

-# You say it best

-# You say it best

# When you say nothing at all. #

So, after that, our four remaining couples could probably do with

a nice lie down, which they're more than welcome to,

as long as they don't mind lying down on a noisy, snaky dust bowl.

Round two is Off-Road Rage. Forward!

# When it's family

# You forgive them

# For they know not what they do. #

And so we come to the South African wilderness

where little has changed for millions of years.

The trees - older than time itself.

The dust - I imagine the same age

and these...about two years old.

Our couples have to drive them as fast as they can

around this dirt track,

making sure they don't knock over any of these Stig heads.

If they do, they incur a time penalty.

And that's trickier than you might think...

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT BY NIRVANA PLAYS

..especially on a menacing dirt track like this.

There's a five-second penalty for knocking down a white Stig,

ten seconds for a red Stig...

..and a grim 30-second penalty for an AA call-out -

that's African Assistance.

The two couples with the slowest times

will find themselves in the race-off.

The winners of round one, bezzers Pete and Richard,

are setting the pace.

They played together in a nursery sandpit

and now are playing for the chance to win £10,000

in the biggest sandpit they've ever seen.

I've either got the savings option, move in with my girlfriend -

probably what I should be doing - or we've got the Vegas option.

We're very indecisive, yeah,

but we'll send you a postcard from Vegas.

Pete and Rich, confident about this?

-Yeah, good.

-Feeling good, feeling good.

All right, boys, three, two, one, go!

KLAXON SOUNDS

Slow down, slow down.

Go to the left, the left. The two left.

Go! Go! Awesome! Awesome!

You're doing mint, mate.

Oh, I love how much they love each other.

-Which one?

-No, that's good! That's good! No problem.

-That's fine, that's fine.

-They've obliterated five Stigs,

but at this speed, look like they're heading

for another winning time. Cape Of No Hope next.

To the right, to the right, to the right.

Not red! Good man, you're doing really well, mate.

-Right.

-Oh, there's some stuck under my wheel.

I see some coming up - right, right, right and then left.

No red ones.

-They're all under us wheel.

-Just try and wobble it off, mate.

Reverse, reverse. Get it in reverse.

-Go on, mate, don't panic.

-We're stuck, mate.

Oh, man!

The lads are struggling

and they're going to need some help to get out of this one...

-Go, go, go!

-..that means a 30-second penalty.

That's it, just take it dead steady, mate.

Need to make up some time now

as they head into Cheetah's Corner and onto Sillymanjaro...

Watch out for a Stig.

-Go! Go! Go!

-Watch out for a Stig!

..but a decent descent.

Right! Right! Good man. Go! Go! Go!

A few passengers along the way, all aboard The Stig train.

Whoop! Whoop!

What, you want to get on? Yeah, sure. What, you as well?

Yeah, come on.

12 Stig heads down including two reds

means you're clocking in at 04:00 on the button.

First place so far, yeah!

So, the time to beat is 04:00 exactly.

Next to face the treacherous dirt track full of tricksy Stigs

are Team Red.

She's the hare, I'm the tortoise -

slow and steady wins the race.

Binny and Neil, how are we feeling?

-Nervous for her driving.

-He should be.

All right. Three, two, one, go! KLAXON SOUNDS

We're going to come to some Stigs.

All right, take a left, left, left!

-Left, left, left. Oh, yeah, baby! Wow!

-Go, yeah!

Over the bridge quickly. Well done, you are doing fantastic, baby.

-I know! And you worried my driving...

-I'm a micro-driver.

-You worried.

-OK. Left, left, left.

-Oh!

Back you go. Back you go. Slowly, slowly, slowly.

Thanks, baby. Don't encourage me, don't encourage me.

That's it. Slow, slow. That's fine.

Don't worry, don't worry. We hit one, but that's fine.

-Good.

-Good recovery.

Ooh, we knocked a lot more over than that.

Approaching the Cape Of No Hope now.

More Stigs, more Stigs. More Stigs.

Oh, I'm sorry, guys.

-Slow it down a little bit.

-SHE SCREAMS

No, no.

Don't worry, don't worry.

Just take those a little bit slower, but you're still smashing it...

-Slower?

-..and then we'll work out what side to go.

-He's just panicking a little bit.

-Right, power through...

Binny there, tearing round Cheetah's Corner.

-Right, drop it left, drop it...

-Let's go! Woohoo!

-Whoa! Come on!

-Woo!

-Don't like it, don't like it. Argh!

-Yeah, baby!

So, the Reds smashed the Pinks' lead and steal the top spot,

so now the time to beat is 03:16.

Next to go, Team Green,

super snoggers David and Paula.

I'm going to go like a bat out of hell wherever I can.

I'm probably going to be hanging on for dear life - I'm terrified.

David and Paula!

-Comfortable?

-Kind of.

-Ish?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck.

Three, two, one, go! KLAXON SOUNDS

-MUSIC: Crazy Frog by Axel F

-OK. Left.

Oh, it's kind of skiddy.

Oh, hello! Argh!

-Quick!

-SHE GIGGLES

-Go for the white ones.

-Yeah.

-White ones!

-Whoa! Whoa! Hello, Stig!

-SHE GIGGLES

If Team Green beat the Pinks' time of 04:00,

bosom buddies Pete and Richard

will be in the race-off.

-All right! Yeah!

-SHE GIGGLES

Right, Stigs on the left. Get the white ones.

-Oh!

-That was great.

THEY CHUCKLE Speedy stuff from the Greens.

Cape Of No Hope next.

Here we go. U-turn.

OK, Stigs!

Right, right, right, right, right.

-SHE SCREAMS

-Oh, wow!

Oh, that one fell over by itself!

Did you run over The Stig? You just killed The Stig.

HE LAUGHS

Oh, now that's how you take a corner.

Go, go, go.

SHE SCREAMS

HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

-Yeah!

-SHE GIGGLES

He's a very cool, collected driver.

David whizzed through the wilderness,

but they hit 13 Stigs

and made us play the theme tune from the Crazy Frog.

Even so, factoring all those penalties,

Team Green's time is just 03:14.

That means they're safely through, but the Reds are close second.

Pete and Richard in third are definitely in the race-off,

but will the Blues be joining them?

-I don't trust her...

-What?!

-Sorry. ..driving skills.

Yeah, I think it's going to get worse in the car.

AMI LAUGHS

Talibah, you're allowed to drive fast.

Ami doesn't want to be in the bottom two again.

-Good luck.

-All right.

-Three, two, one, go!

-KLAXON SOUNDS

-Go, girl! You go, girl.

You got this.

Talibah and Ami will need to be quicker than 03:16

if they're to beat Binny and Neil's time

and avoid another race-off.

Careful, careful. Slow down. Reverse back.

But that's not the greatest of starts.

Straighten up the wheels.

Straight, straight. Like this. Like this!

-Go back.

-Ergh!

-..how this thing works, so...

Ah, a 30-second penalty for roadside assistance,

and they've only just got round the first bend.

Not so hard on the bends.

Yeah! Woo, woo, woo!

-Last one.

-THEY LAUGH

Ow. Oh, my gosh. Bad girl!

All right. The white one. We kill the white one!

Oh, this is amazing!

Ah, the Blues,

quite literally smashing their way through the course.

It's a six-Stig fracas out there...

..and one's coming along for the ride.

AMI LAUGHS

-Argh!

-CONTESTANTS LAUGH

Over there!

-Oh, no. Oh, no.

-Oh, my lord.

-Straighten the wheel, Talibah.

-TALIBAH GROANS

Again, again. More, more, more, more.

Can you do this?

Talibah and Ami are going to have to call for help...

-That's a minute penalty.

-..again,

which is good news for the Reds.

-Can I smile now?

-You can, yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Straighten the wheel now. Straighten the wheel.

Onto Sillymanjaro now,

-and they're almost home and dry.

-What is going on back there?

-What is going on?

-BOTH CHEER

-Oh!

-Careful, careful. Stop.

-Almost.

-Did anyone check their driving licences?

THEY CHUCKLE

OK. Careful. We don't want to hit this one.

All right, all right, all right.

And they cross the line!

-Finally.

-Oh, man.

Thank you.

You sounded like you had a whale of a time.

Yeah, it was really good.

Unfortunately, unlike whales, you often beached yourself.

LAUGHTER Currently, the bottom two

are the Reds and the Pinks.

-The time to beat was three minutes...

-Oh, please.

DERMOT LAUGHS ..and 16 seconds.

You hit two red, nine whites, two pit stop penalties,

giving you an overall time of 06:31.

Oh...

So Binny and Neil are through to round three,

and the Pinks and the Blues are in the race-off.

Oh, yes, it's time for

an off-road battle of mammoth proportions.

Pink co-driver Richard and Blue co-driver Ami,

teamed up with The Stig's overexcited nephews,

have one nail-biting lap in which to answer one simple question.

-If it's, like, 14th-century poetry, we're going home.

-Yeah.

-TALIBAH:

-It's just a game...

It's just a game, but I'm still not happy - I'm not here to lose.

-You've got one lap to give as many of the following as you can.

-Yeah.

Feature films listed on IMDB

which have been directed...by Stephen Spielberg.

Three, two, one, go!

I don't... A-ha! This is so...

Indiana Jones. Er...

This really will be the...

Last Crusade for one of these teams.

Spielberg, films, Spielberg... Jeez.

Oh, dear. Erm...

ET the Extra-Terrestrial.

I don't know! Lucy. Er...

Titanic. Ergh, ergh, ergh...

Ergh! Christine. Is it Christine?

Argh! I don't know. I've gone mental.

SHE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

I don't know any!

Oh, man, I can't believe it.

-Aw, yes!

-Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Indiana Jones Raiders Of The Lost Ark,

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom.

This is very hard.

A close encounter at the Cape Of No Hope.

I can't even think. Jurassic Park. Er...Terminator.

I can't guess! I don't know!

It's a case of...

Catch Me If You Can now for Ami

as Richard scales Sillymanjaro.

-Spielberg...

-HE SCREAMS LAUGHING

SHE SCREAMS

SHE LAUGHS

Jeez! Er... Oh, man.

Can he...Hook just one more?

Oh, that's pants!

Ami's just got seconds now

to snatch victory from the...Jaws of defeat.

SHE SCREAMS

Make it stop!

I were terrible then, weren't I? Man!

It's all over, and only one of them has done enough

to stay in the competition.

Both look like you really enjoyed that. Woohoo-hoo! Yeah-ha-ha!

So, feature films which have been directed by Steven Spielberg.

What a great career that guy has had, eh? So many films.

Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, yeah...

Close Encounters.

There's only one that I haven't seen. It was That's Pants.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-No, it's next year it's coming out.

Ah, it's a new one, is it? OK.

-Rich, come to you first.

-I'm great.

-You got...

-..three correct answers.

-Fantastic(!)

Oh, Richard. You try it!

-Ami.

-Yeah.

-You got one.

No way! Hey!

HE LAUGHS

Which means the Blues are heading home. Sorry, ladies.

It was such fun.

-When is this going to go up?

-I don't know.

We know now that you are a rubbish driver.

So, we are at two couples down which leaves three to contest round three.

Love the symmetry.

A round that will test their driving skills, their general knowledge

and their ability to drive headlong through a really large wall.

It's called the Drive-Thru. 'Tis this way.

At the end of these lanes are two answers to one question.

When the lights go green,

our contestants have to race as fast as they can through what

they think is the right answer in these Peugeot 208s.

They'll need to be fast and they'll want to be right

because at the end of each race someone loses a life.

Lose two lives and you are out.

At the end, we are just left with one couple, our finalists,

ready to get behind the wheel of The Getaway Car,

potentially win ten grand and face the grand old duke of driving.

Three teams, three cars, just one winner.

Rocking lane one, it's Team Red.

Will Binny let husband Neil have his say

as they put their quiz brains to the test?

-All right, here we go.

-OK.

More love in the line in lane two.

David and Paula, the happiest couple, like, ever,

verging on the queasy.

-You're hungry for it, aren't you?

-Oh, I'm hungry for it.

-LAUGHING:

-He's hungry.

They sped to victory in round two. Can they do it again?

I'm really competitive, but I've never felt like this.

SHE LAUGHS

And in lane three, fresh from race-off glory, the Pinks -

best mates Pete and Richard.

-Right, now it's a fast prowl.

-Yeah.

Let's hope they are still pals after the Drive-Thru.

All righty, then. This is a race director Dermot.

-All couples, can you hear me?

-Yes!

-We can hear you.

-Excellent.

Race one, question one.

The original route of the Orient Express linked Turkey

and which other country - France or Germany?

Three, two, one, go!

And they are off,

but do they know where the Orient Express started its journey?

Germany. Positive, positive, positive.

-What do you think?

-I don't know.

I think France, so go left.

Germany, go right.

Go with what do you think. I really don't know.

-Positive, positive, positive.

-We're beating everyone.

-Oh, dear!

-Whoa!

That's good. It's caught to be.

We might be wrong.

The Pinks flew through fastest, but they are not happy chappies.

-Oh, damn!

-It's Germany.

-I know.

-I said Germany as well.

I knew it was Germany.

All right, teams.

Question was, the original route of the Orient Express linked

Turkey and which other country - France or Germany?

The answer...

-..was France.

-Hey!

Pinks, only ones to get it right.

So, it all comes down to speed, and Reds, you were slowest,

so you lose a life.

Helmets on, back to the start, guys.

Pete and Richard were absolutely spot on.

And Binny and Neil lose a life.

Two lives lost and it's the end of the road.

A question about geography's not really your strong point.

-Is it geography?

-Yeah.

-I think it's history.

SHE LAUGHS

What do we argue?

One mistake was we got the answer wrong.

-I did say I would listen to you.

-That's fine.

Teams, this is race two, question two.

HE EXHALES

In Cockney rhyming slang, how much is a score - 20 or 24?

Three, two, one, go!

-Go, go, go!

-Score rhymes with 24.

-24, yeah. It's got to be.

Right-hand side.

-Which one?

-You're going left, you're going left.

-I'm sure it's 20.

-Yeah, I've heard it all the time. EastEnders!

Go, go, go! Step on it! Step on it! It's all right.

Do not lose it, do not lose it.

24, 24! Go, go!

Ah!

We beat them, yes!

-It doesn't matter, it's OK.

-I nearly... Oh, my God.

He beat me again. I'm going to have to get him next time.

I'm going to get him next time.

The Pinks might have been fastest,

but they were the only team who wrongly thought a score was 24.

Team Richard lose a life.

This is horrible, isn't it, this?

If Team Pink or Team Red loose the next race,

they'll be out of The Getaway Car.

Race three, question three.

True or false? All ladybirds have exactly ten spots.

Three, two, one, go!

-Some have one spot, some have two, four.

-You think false? We go false?

We'll go false.

I think that's true.

I've looked at them and they all look pretty much the same.

I think it's false. How can it be? It's definitely false.

-Ooh!

-Right, right, right. False, false, false.

Keep going, keep going, keep going. Right, go!

Oh, you went for false. OK. You went for false.

We went the same as Pinks.

-Oh.

-It depends on the Greens.

-We might get it wrong anyway.

-We might have got it wrong.

This time, the Greens were the only team to answer wrongly.

David and Paula lose a life.

Ahh, who knows about ladybirds anyway?

All of the teams have now lost one life. The next race is crucial.

Whoever loses this time leaves The Getaway Car for good.

Woo! Almost there.

Foot down this time.

Come on, we've got to beat this.

Come on, get yourself in the right frame of mind.

Race four, question four.

I don't want to over-dramatise the situation.

If you answer wrong,

the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will appear marking the end of days.

Ahh!

Best of luck. Someone is going home after this.

Who is taller, Tom Cruise or Sir Winston Churchill?

Three, two, one, go!

I think taller, Tom Cruise is really short.

-Well, I know Tom Cruise is short.

-Compared with Churchill?

I think it's going to be Winston Churchill.

Slow, slow, slow. Almost to a stop.

It's all right, just calm down, calm down.

-Let's go with Churchill.

-OK.

It's Winston Churchill. Yes!

Go left, go left.

Ooh!

What a race.

A tight finish for the Pinks and Greens,

who both go for Winston Churchill. But the Reds play it tactically.

-Slow, slow, almost to a stop.

-And just cruise through Tom Cruise.

But will their gamble pay off?

-If they've both got it wrong, we are through.

-Yeah.

-That's the tactic.

-You're channelling James Bond?

-Ahh!

I think we were first through it. I think we were first through.

-What was the question, who was shorter?

-I don't know.

You all only had one life left.

The question was, who is taller - Tom Cruise or Sir Winston Churchill?

The Pinks and Greens went with Churchill.

The Reds went with Tom Cruise.

Correct answer...

..was Tom Cruise... THEY SHOUT AND CHEER

..by 3cm.

Which means it comes down to speed.

-And the Pinks, you were slowest, lads. So, I'm so sorry.

-Sorry, guys!

We're going to leave you.

Cheers, guys, thank you very much.

So, Team Pink got the question wrong and were slower than the Greens.

It's all over for Pete and Rich.

I would have beat The Stig, definitely.

-Definitely.

-Good man.

# Thank you for being a friend... #

We cemented what we already knew.

Just a great relationship,

it will carry on being a great relationship to our old age.

Woo!

-Fairytale ending, isn't it, really?

-# ..confidant. #

So, it's all down to this.

Two teams, two possible answers and one question to decide

who will take on The Stig and win a possible £10,000.

Same pace as before. Just slow it down, OK?

-What if we know, like, we know that it straightaway?

-This is tactics.

-This is immense.

-It is.

-Well done so far. You've been amazing.

-Well to you!

-You're the one doing the driving.

-Yeah, you are keeping me here.

Red Team, Green Team, can you hear me? Race five, question five.

The question is...

which month of the year has the greater number of days,

June or July?

-Ooh!

-Three, two, one, go!

It's July.

January, February, March, April, May, June...

It's July, it's July, it's July.

-It's July. We've got to go fast.

-July?

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go! Ah!

-I've completely forgotten what the question was now.

-HE GRUNTS

SHE GASPS

I've forgotten what the question was.

Well, OK, guys. Last question.

Which month of the year has the greater number of days,

June or July?

Both went with July.

The correct answer with 31 was July, so it all comes down to speed.

Greens, you were quicker.

You are tonight's finalists. Congratulations.

Which means Binny and Neil, you're heading home.

Team Greens' decisiveness from the off,

coupled with tremendous speed,

has won them a place in tonight's final.

But it's all over for Binny and Neil.

-Sorry, babe.

-That's all right.

Neil told the to go slow.

It was my job to put my foot down.

Binny's always right as always. You are back in control.

-Yeah, baby!

-Go left, go left.

-# After all that we've been through

# I will make it up to you

# I promise to. #

So, four couples' South African driving adventure has gone south.

But one couple have taken on the hazards, the rage,

the walls and emerged victorious.

Now, all that stands between them

and £10,000 is one unidentified driving object.

That's The Stig.

As a couple, we love adventure,

but I think this has been the adventure of our life.

# Just the two of us

# We can make it if we try... #

It was terrifying, but I always felt like I had complete

confidence in his driving and what he could do.

You're at the roundabout. Have you got your bearings now?

-Yeah.

-To the right.

Paula is always brilliant. She's the blood that runs through my veins.

-Aw!

-'And I don't work with out Paula.'

Oh-oh-oh.

-She's just the person I want next to me always.

-Oh, thank you.

I absolutely love cars.

I was born with a steering wheel in my hands,

so going up against The Stig is amazingly exciting. He's unbeatable.

You can't touch The Stig.

# Just the two of us, you and I. #

This is it, the final round, the Getaway Chase.

David and Paula will be driving as fast as they can

twice around the track in this...

They've been hankering after driving this from the start,

but it's fast, it is very fast.

It'll be well advised to motor with care.

Now, on one level, the challenge facing David

and Paula couldn't be more simple.

Each time they pass under a money gate, they bank that amount of cash.

However, just seconds after they take off, The Stig,

he gets a green light and he starts hunting them down.

The minute he catches up with them, it's game over.

But if they get to the finish line first, they bank £10,000.

But with his extensive underworld connections

and friends in car showrooms,

The Stig is amassed an array of fine supercars.

And tonight he has chosen to drive the Aston Martin Vanquish.

With a top speed of 183mph and 0 to 60 in four seconds,

this is significantly quicker than The Getaway Car.

So, to make this a fair contest,

The Getaway Car pit crew have worked out if David

and Paula have a 10-second head start and they drive The Getaway Car

the £10,000 could be theirs.

So, two laps, two green lights, one lovey-dovey twosome versus one Stig.

Let the Getaway Chase commence.

ENGINE REVS

Ooh! Hello!

Have David and Paula lost their minds riling The Stig

with £10,000 on the line?

-Oh, are you ready?

-Easing off the handbrake

-I've seen you, baby.

-Oh, yeah?

ENGINE REVS

David off at lightning speed.

-Oh, too early, too early.

-And takes the first corner really well.

Ten seconds are up and The Stig is off in pursuit.

Just as David flies through the first money gate, banking £1,000.

-Oh, go, babe! Woo!

-And the second.

The Stig starts to hunt them down.

But David is making the most of his lead.

This is incredible driving from David.

Wow!

But The Stig only has one setting and it happens to be V fast,

closing now on The Getaway Car.

Oh, go, babe!

-That's £6,000.

-Ah! Six!

Don't lose it.

£8,000 is theirs.

So close now but The Stig is hot on the tail.

Looks like they might actually do it!

For the first time this series, the jackpot has been won.

We always say The Stig will catch you, it's just a matter of when.

Tonight, it was after the chequered flag.

And what a high-speed Getaway Chase it was.

With a perfect start and precision cornering, David held off

The Stig for the entire two laps for the first time on The Getaway Car.

Well done, Team Green!

-How was that?

-Oh, mate, that was amazing!

-How was it for you?

-Terrifying.

-Was it?

-Amazing. Brilliant. Fast.

I just can't believe you did it.

Wow!

So well-driven.

-SHE SCREAMS

-I got you!

Yay!

Come here.

Your champ this week, give it up for Dave and Paula!

CHEERING

Right. That's more than enough cars

and relationships destroyed for one week.

We're back next week with The Stig and more brave couples ready

to put their love and relationships on the line. See you, then.
