0:01:16 > 0:01:20Austin, welcome to the show, sir. How are ya, buddy?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Tell us who you've got with us tonight, then.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I've brought Kaveh, who's my brother-in-law.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Kaveh, welcome to the show, sir. - And my dad Allan.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29You look like you've worked out a bit, sir.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Worked out when I was younger, did a bit of water skiing.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Why water skiing?- I lived on the River Mersey so it was...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Course, they used to do that all the time, didn't they(?)
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Skiing down the Mersey, that famous song!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Kaveh, how are you, sir? You look like the one with the muscles
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and you look beefed up. Tell us a little about yourself.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Erm, I live in Leicestershire with my wife and daughter Lily.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- OK.- I'm not majorly good at anything.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Well, how competitive!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Why did you come, then?- Well...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58And, of course, our celebrity captain tonight,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Austin Healey is here, everybody!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Millions of people around the country around the world know you
0:02:05 > 0:02:07for rugby, but when I said to my kids and their friends,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10"I've got Austin Healey," they said, "Dad, he's the dancer."
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's a bit of a secret, there's a huge love
0:02:12 > 0:02:15for ballroom dancing amongst the England rugby team.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Martin Johnson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Jason Leonard,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19those three guys. You couldn't stop them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Austin Healey and his family!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Please welcome Iwan Thomas and his family!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26CHEERING
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- How are ya, buddy?- I'm very well.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Tell us who you've got here tonight. - This is my big brother, Gareth.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Hello, big brother Gareth. - Hello.- My dad Cliff.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Hello, dad, Cliff. Gareth, how are you, sir?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Welcome to the show, tell us a bit about yourself.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Oh, I work for a security company. - OK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Big into my Nintendo, so I've got high hopes in games.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45You're a gamer, are ya? You spend a lot of time in front of the TV?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Armchair sportsman, definitely.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49OK. Do you ever leave the house at all, mate?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Er, I try not to.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52This is Dad, how are ya? Welcome to the show, buddy.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53What do you do for a living?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I spent about 30 years serving with the Royal Air Force.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Stand by your beds, sir! Thank you. - Sitting in the aeroplanes.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Really? Did you see some action?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- We saw a little bit of action in our life.- Did you really?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We did a lot of low-level flying. - OK.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10It was great fun and I miss it still.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Ladies and gentleman, world champion Iwan Thomas!- Cheers.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16CHEERING
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Listen, you're used to sprinting fast, quick off the mark, you know.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Not as quick as I used to be, but I still think...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Oh, you're talking like you're an old man!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Listen, I've known Austin a long time, he's a competitor.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Listen, mate, welcome to the show, Give a big round of applause!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Right!
0:03:32 > 0:03:35The rules are very simple, gentleman,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38be as fast as you can over five rounds.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Some will be physical,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42some will be mental, but the family with the most points
0:03:42 > 0:03:45at the end of the show, which no doubt will be the fastest,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48will go on to our endgame, where we will play for £20,000.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Gentlemen, are you ready to play?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54OK, let's look at challenge number one!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58The first of three head-to-head challenges gets our celebrity show
0:03:58 > 0:04:00off with a crash, bang, wallop.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03On hearing the Reflex starter trigger, tonight's first two players
0:04:03 > 0:04:06must aim for the button at the other end of this slippery runway.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Standing in their way is a one-metre circular glass window.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14When the game begins, they must dive headfirst through that glass.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17The first player to hit the button will win tonight's first point
0:04:17 > 0:04:19for their celebrity team.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm going to ask you to get into a huddle, have a little chat,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25family discussion, and decide who's going to play challenge one.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28The gun's going to go and it's a person obviously reacting
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and can get off quickly. It's got to be me.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- You're the boy.- No, it's me. It's got to be me.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Don't think it's going to be you, you've got glasses.- You do it.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Yeah...- I don't want to mess my hair up, so if you go...
0:04:39 > 0:04:40You hair is very, very pretty.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Our celebrity sports stars, will they take the first challenge?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47but bearing in mind, Cliff and Allan, they are going to get
0:04:47 > 0:04:50left behind and we don't know how physical the other two challenges
0:04:50 > 0:04:53are going to be, you see? So it's very interesting who they choose
0:04:53 > 0:04:54to do this one.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Right, families, if you'd like to turn round
0:04:57 > 0:05:00and face the front. Let's find out who's playing.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Please step forward!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Our first challengers are...
0:05:04 > 0:05:07It had to be, it's the big fellas, eh, lads?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Oh, this could go down in Reflex history!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15This is athletics against the world of rugby. Let's go play!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17So, both sports celebs leading by example -
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Iwan has a clutch of international and Olympic sprinting medals and has
0:05:22 > 0:05:24won BBC Wales Sports Personality of the Year.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Versus Austin - 51 caps as an England rugby international,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32as well as fourth place in Strictly Come Dancing - his quick step
0:05:32 > 0:05:34is something to be reckoned with!
0:05:36 > 0:05:40The rules couldn't be simpler. First player to dive through that glass
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and hit the yellow button will tonight's first point.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Is he very competitive? - Very, very competitive.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50A good choice for this game, do you think?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I think it's a good choice, he's got a bit more scrabble
0:05:53 > 0:05:55than his opponent will.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- So, sir.- Yes, sir? - He is very competitive, isn't he?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Oh, terrible. Terrible.- Is he? - But the boy can kick off
0:06:01 > 0:06:03from the blocks, he's going to be all right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Well, let's find out. OK. It is athletics versus rugby.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Let's play!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14So, the first of tonight's battles - speed and power,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17as well as positioning - will be critical here.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Austin has a lower centre of gravity
0:06:20 > 0:06:23and years of rough and tumble experience.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26While Iwan has, of course, a superior sprinting technique.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Can he gain a crucial split second advantage?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Let's find out.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The game could start at any moment.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38STARTER GUN
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And they're off - two world-class sportsmen spring into action
0:06:41 > 0:06:43and we can watch them in glorious slow motion.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Hang onto your hats - here they go.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49And Austin's first through this specially designed
0:06:49 > 0:06:54stunt glass. Look, as it factures into thousands of tiny strands -
0:06:54 > 0:06:56it's utterly mesmerizing.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But don't try this at home, as it won't look so good
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and could possibly hurt a bit.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07This is poetry in motion. But don't be fooled, it's also brutal.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Whammy! Iwan's behind, but not by much.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Now it's a scramble to the button. This will surely suit Austin.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Maybe his quick step will be useful.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23Maybe not. He's just sliding off the runway - that will slow him down!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Can Iwan take advantage?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The sprinter is sprinting on all fours. Is that an Olympic sport?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Iwan's got his nose to the ground
0:07:31 > 0:07:35while Austin's still doing some sort of dance move - is that the foxtrot?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Neither is backing down!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Two sporting gladiators -
0:07:40 > 0:07:44only one button. Who is going to win this titanic struggle?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Iwan surges forward.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49While Austin can only muster the, er, cha-cha-cha?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Out comes that hand and slams home.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It's a win for Iwan and the Thomas family!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00But you wouldn't have seen any of that in this real-time replay.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05And that's the split second difference between winning
0:08:05 > 0:08:06and losing on Reflex.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08APPLAUSE
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Welcome back, fellas, our sporting heroes return!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14There can only be one winner.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- I can't believe it! - We've still got a long way to go.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It was your fault!
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Let's check out the scores!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26So, roll out the red carpet - put some razzle in your dazzle.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Iwan sprinted into the lead. It's a point to the Thomas family.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34So, it's down to the rest of the family to decide who's going
0:08:34 > 0:08:36to play challenge number two.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39It'll be very interesting to see who you decide on this game.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Have a look at this.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Two giant stacks, each built using 190 tin cans.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48In the middle of each, there is one yellow can.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51On hearing the Reflex trigger, the first player to grab the yellow
0:08:51 > 0:08:56can and place it in the target area will win one point for their team.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02And that is challenge number two. Fellas, you've done the first one,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05who's going to play this one? Are you going to get off the board?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So, guys, it's a family decision, get into your huddles
0:09:08 > 0:09:10and I'll come back and hear your choices very shortly.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I always said if it's anything to do with catching,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I won't do it. - It's not moving, it's static.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- I know.- Keep your eye on it and run.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- I can't catch a ball. - It's up to you, what do you think?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You've only got to run ten metres, not far.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I reckon you can't do this, cos it could be quite high up.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It's about speed off the mark, Kaveh should do this.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Even though you are good at grabbing cans out of...
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Yes... Is it a Guinness can? I'd get it, you'd lose it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Right, families, if you'd like to turn round.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Right, whoever is playing, can you please step forward?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40APPLAUSE
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's Gareth, Iwan's older brother,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45who was a successful sprinter in his youth, but admits
0:09:45 > 0:09:47he can't catch.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51He's up against Kaveh - 13 years younger, who loves eating
0:09:51 > 0:09:54when he's not running his energy efficiency company.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Remember, the first player to put that yellow can into the target area
0:10:02 > 0:10:05will win a point, and put their team one step closer
0:10:05 > 0:10:08to £20,000 for charity.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10APPLAUSE
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Right, Gareth is a gamer. Will it come in handy in this game?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I doubt it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18They've got a lot of confidence in you there, young man!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20What about Kaveh, will he pull this off?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think he can, he'll knock most of the wall down, though.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25He's carrying a bit of Christmas pudding.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Is he really?- Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31He'll hate me saying that, he'll probably lose on purpose now!
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Right, challenge number two, let's play!
0:10:35 > 0:10:39So, Cliff doesn't think Gareth's gaming skills will help him much
0:10:39 > 0:10:41and Austin thinks Kaveh's eaten too many puddings.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Well, they can prove their families wrong right now.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46They're off!
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Gareth, Kaveh, it's time to show that you too can be sporting heroes.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54For too long you've hidden your light under that bushel -
0:10:54 > 0:10:57time to step out from the shadows, time to shine!
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Both men are similar height, although Kaveh is heavier,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05having probably eaten all that Christmas pudding.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Fun fact for any tin can enthusiast -
0:11:07 > 0:11:12the tin can was invented in 1810. Unfortunately, it wasn't until 1858
0:11:12 > 0:11:15that the first can opener was invented.
0:11:15 > 0:11:1848 years is a long time to wait for your beans on toast.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Time now for the all-important grab.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Oh, that's clinical can catching by Kaveh!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Oh, but he's demolished that stack of cans.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Fractionally behind is Gareth.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37A perfect technique and he seems to have done that with eyes closed!
0:11:37 > 0:11:38No butter fingers there!
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Right, time now for the sprint finish. Remember, Gareth was
0:11:42 > 0:11:44a pretty accomplished sprinter in his youth!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46This could be a close run thing!
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Crikey, it's a can-plosion! it's a hurri-can of cans!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53A full-blown...tin-ado! I'm good at this!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Both players are locked onto that target.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58But it looks like Kaveh's got the edge.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Gareth with one last desperate lunge.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03But I think it's too late, because Kaveh has done it!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07He really has made that extra weight count.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Gareth still determined to finish but it's all over. Or is it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Hang on - Kaveh's still going!
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Wow, look at that momentum - the energy!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Kaveh, of course, runs an energy efficiency company.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25The irony is, he used far too much energy here and has broken
0:12:25 > 0:12:26our expensive game.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There'll be forms to fill out.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30APPLAUSE
0:12:31 > 0:12:35And it's a point to Kaveh and the Healeys! You're off the mark!
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Well done, mate.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Come on, boys, back you come.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Let's check our scores so far!
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Well, call the paparazzi - Kaveh's only pulled one back for the Healey
0:12:47 > 0:12:51family. It's now one apiece - what an exciting celebrity ding-dong!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53APPLAUSE
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's well and truly balanced as we go into challenge three
0:12:56 > 0:13:00and I think we've got an idea who's playing this one, haven't we, eh?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Let's get the sergeant out
0:13:02 > 0:13:04as we look at challenge three!
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Each player will stand under five suspended water balloons.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11On hearing the three colour sequence, they must smash
0:13:11 > 0:13:13the correct balloons using their spiked mallet.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16The player to burst the balloons in the correct order,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18in the fastest time, will win that heat.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20There are three heats
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and the best out of three will win a point for their family.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I think we got an idea who might be playing this, so, Allan
0:13:26 > 0:13:30and Cliff, if you'd like to take a step forward, fellas!
0:13:30 > 0:13:31APPLAUSE
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Here you come.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36This is the battle of the dads. OK, we've got an ex-champion
0:13:36 > 0:13:41water skier right here, against an RAF pilot.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Lads, best of luck, let's go play.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Here come our high flying, high octane speed freaks.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Cliff - a retired fighter pilot
0:13:51 > 0:13:54who can also play a mean game of bare knuckle bridge,
0:13:54 > 0:13:58versus former international water skiing champion Allan,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00who dabbles in a spot of extreme gardening.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Prepare for the clash of the titans!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Behind every great sportsman is a great dad,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12full of competitive drive, bags of useful advice.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14And a perhaps a gammy knee or two.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Your dad, how competitive is he?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- He says he's not, but he is.- Right.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'm proud of him out there, because it's scary. They're not
0:14:22 > 0:14:26two young men up there so I think... No, he won't mind me saying that.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29(OLD MAN VOICE) I'll tell you what, I've come out with my boy tonight...
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Watch it, Shane - these guys may be a little grey
0:14:31 > 0:14:34and wrinkly round the edges, but underneath I can sense their
0:14:34 > 0:14:36hearts beating like stallions.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Oh, no, wait a minute - that's just my phone vibrating.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42What's he like under pressure?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Well, I mean, he is solely responsible for me
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- being an international rugby player. - Really?- Yeah.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50When I was six, I had a really major asthma attack, in hospital for
0:14:50 > 0:14:54a week, and the doctor said, "You've got to get your energy levels up,"
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and every morning we went out before school, we started off
0:14:57 > 0:15:00walking, then jogging and then running. And we did that
0:15:00 > 0:15:04every single day for ten years. And both his knees still work.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06LAUGHTER
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Right, are you ready, lads? Here we go, we're going to have a good old
0:15:09 > 0:15:12game, we've got to hit the balloons in front of you with the colours.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Right, here we go, lads.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Well, don't forget, fellas, it's the best of three, all right?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Gentlemen, let's play.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22This is going to be fast and furious.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26All they need is the sequence - which I have the honour of revealing
0:15:26 > 0:15:27using this megaphone.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Hang onto your hats, put down your cocoa and place your Zimmer frames
0:15:31 > 0:15:34in lock, because the mayhem is about to begin.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Green - yellow - blue!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Green - yellow - blue.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Hello? Allan?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I think he just moved his eye.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Cliff? Anyone?
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Yep, we definitely have movement. Although not a lot, admittedly.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Cliff's got his eye on the green balloon, which is good,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03while Allan is eyeing up the yellow, which is bad.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Boy, these two are an advert for grey power!
0:16:08 > 0:16:13Cliff zeroes in - bandits at green o'clock. That's a direct hit!
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Just like the old days!
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Now, what can water-skiing Allan do in reply? Unfortunately, he's
0:16:19 > 0:16:23still looking at the wrong balloon - oh, hang on, he's turning his head.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28I think he's seen the green - yes, Allan - that's the green balloon!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I think he's a little confused - hang on. Press the button.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Allan, the mallet in your hand is to hit those coloured balloons
0:16:35 > 0:16:36in front of you!
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Oh, I give up.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41High flying Cliff's not hanging about, though,
0:16:41 > 0:16:47and he's going straight for the yellow - bang! Look at that!
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Just the blue left for Cliff.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Can water skiing Allan hit the green, the yellow and the blue
0:16:54 > 0:16:58in the time it takes high flying Cliff to hit his final balloon?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59In all honestly, probably not,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02unless he's just downed an entire bottle of cod liver oil.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And even then, it's unlikely.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Yes, as predicted, Cliff's won this heat.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10He was lightning quick there!
0:17:10 > 0:17:11APPLAUSE
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Well done!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Wow!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20The first heat goes to the Thomases.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Right, don't forget, it is best of three,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28it's still all to play for, fellas. Let's play.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Straight onto heat two - and here's the all-important sequence.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Red - green - yellow!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38And Allan's quick off the mark - he really wants to make up
0:17:38 > 0:17:43for that first heat defeat. Typical sports dad must-win spirit!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Cliff's finally decided to put down his crossword
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and join in. Allan's finally got the red!
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Wonderful forearm technique - Andy Murray, eat your heart out!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55And Cliff's got his red too!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59These old boys are neck and neck - both in perfect unison.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03It's like watching a synchronised balloon display team
0:18:03 > 0:18:06in the synchronised balloon display final...
0:18:06 > 0:18:10of the synchronised balloon display world championship -
0:18:10 > 0:18:11if such a thing existed.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Allan's first to the green with Cliff still close behind.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Just the yellow to get. The excitement is palpable.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Allan's ahead - can he keep the lead?
0:18:23 > 0:18:29Unbelievable - Cliff overtakes him in a burst of speed. What a battle!
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Cliff just sneaks in there and wins the game two heats to nil.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35That's another precious point for the Thomas family.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39But what a performance from the heroes of yesteryear -
0:18:39 > 0:18:42the men who made Britain great!
0:18:42 > 0:18:43We salute you!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45APPLAUSE
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Well done, Allan! Well done, dads.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Right, let's see how that's affected our scores!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Hold the celebrity gossip column -
0:18:59 > 0:19:03group captain Cliff has just put the Thomas family into the lead.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Now, challenge four is slightly different.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11This is where you double up, OK. Not only will you double up
0:19:11 > 0:19:16as family members, we're going to double the points. So...
0:19:16 > 0:19:21They've already made up their mind! Before you make a decision,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24have a look at the game, here's challenge number four.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Both pairs of players will stand at the bottom of the Reflex
0:19:27 > 0:19:29avalanche slope.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31At any given moment, thousands of different coloured balls
0:19:31 > 0:19:33will be released.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Each player must catch five of their team's coloured balls
0:19:36 > 0:19:38and place them in the holding container.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42The first pair to collect ten will win two points for their team.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Right, Healeys, you're going to need this point, it's all to play for,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50we're playing for double points. Who's going to play together?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Is there going to be any sibling rivalry?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Importantly, who's going to get left behind?
0:19:54 > 0:19:58So, fellas, get into huddles, have a little family dispute.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59- Hard luck.- Yeah, fine.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Must try harder, it was on my school report. Now on yours!- On mine!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06No dispute needed, you were amazing on that last game.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's got to be you. You know what I'm like with ball control.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10This game's made for us two, really.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12You say it's made for us two, but I can't see colours.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15If we win this, it puts them under loads of pressure
0:20:15 > 0:20:16for the last one. This is key.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Right, gentlemen, turn around and face the front,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22we're doubling up the players. More importantly,
0:20:22 > 0:20:23we're doubling up the points.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Who's going to be playing? Who's going to get left behind?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Gentlemen, please step forward.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32APPLAUSE
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Ooh!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Eh? They didn't expect that. He's colour-blind!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Listen, this could be really chaotic. Let's go and find out
0:20:47 > 0:20:50as we send the lads off to play. Good luck, gentlemen.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55So, it's a highly controversial dad and son pairing for the Thomas
0:20:55 > 0:20:59family, against the relative youth of Austin and Kaveh
0:20:59 > 0:21:00for the Healeys.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05This challenge is all about keeping cool while a coloured cascade
0:21:05 > 0:21:07of chaos reigns down!
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Right, fellas, this is for two points. Let's play!
0:21:17 > 0:21:23And so it begins - gentle music that serves as a gentle reminder
0:21:23 > 0:21:27that Austin and Kaveh must collect ten orange balls from amongst
0:21:27 > 0:21:30the green. And Iwan and Cliff need to collect ten purple balls
0:21:30 > 0:21:31from amongst the pink.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34And for those of you watching in black and white,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37that's a purple ball right there next to the orange one.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41And if some viewers think this is easy, think again.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And while you're thinking of that, think about how hard this is
0:21:44 > 0:21:46for Kaveh, who's colour-blind.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50He's just picked up two orange balls. And thrown them away again.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Iwan's got a ball now, but that's not purple, it's pink.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Maybe he's colour-blind too.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Hardly surprising when you see what he faces at full speed.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02That's enough to make anyone go cross-eyed!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Hang on. Against all the odds,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Cliff and Iwan have both got a ball each!
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Austin's confused. He can't work out which ball is which.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12And Iwan's bagged one more!
0:22:13 > 0:22:18And now Austin's building a ball tower. That's pretty...pointless.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21This is a race after all. First to ten!
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Iwan's trying to get rid of a pink ball. How did that get in there?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And Austin's losing a green.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Mind you, at least they've got their first orange.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Cliff's got his second.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33That puts the Thomases on six.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36And a ball just bounced in off his hand, how lucky is that?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37They're on seven.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45And Austin takes the Healey score to three.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47No, four! So, the Thomases on seven
0:22:47 > 0:22:49and the Healeys on four.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And Iwan is the first to complete his five,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54and moves away and leaves dad Cliff,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56whose just got his fourth.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58One ball away now -
0:22:58 > 0:22:59panic stations for the Healeys,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03who are on now on six. Now Cliff has a pink ball where it shouldn't be,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07and a purple ball in his hand - which is wrong in so many ways.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Now Austin's completed his five, the Healeys on seven and Kaveh's
0:23:11 > 0:23:15holding three orange balls. Kaveh's almost there!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18But can Cliff quickly covert the pink for that purple?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20If anyone can, Cliff can.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Kaveh's so close! One of Austin's balls has been dislodged.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26That doesn't matter, because he's still on five.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30And Kaveh's put two away. Just that one left in his hand for the win.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31But what's he doing?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Kaveh can win this! While Cliff's trying to fish that pink ball out.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39He's finally got it, but it's too late surely?
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Kaveh?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I don't believe it - colour-blind Kaveh's thrown his winning
0:23:44 > 0:23:46orange ball away - he thinks it's green!
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Which means Cliff has done it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Amazing scenes here!
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Gareth's over the moon. The Thomases were right to choose the dad
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and son combo - and they've bagged two points.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03But Kaveh's determined to finish - for Healey pride.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Oh, he's actually just made that worse!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Come on, Cliff.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh...
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Do you think maybe now you should have picked Dad?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- What, the silver fox?- Yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, hindsight's a wonderful thing, but, er...
0:24:20 > 0:24:21yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23LAUGHTER
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Right, let's see how that's affected our scores!
0:24:28 > 0:24:32So, proving dads and celebrity sons can work better together,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Iwan and Cliff turn up the heat.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37It's 4-1 to the Thomas family.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41So, we've reached a climax in tonight's battle of the families,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45but there is still everything to play for, as the families
0:24:45 > 0:24:48face each other in the ultimate reaction showdown.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52So, let's bring back our celebrities and their families!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54APPLAUSE
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Now before we carry on with the ultimate reaction showdown,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00let's just remind people at home why we're playing
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and who we're playing for. Austin, your chosen charity?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- So if we win - highly unlikely... - Don't you say that, buddy.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08It's a mountain to climb but if we do,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10we'll give the money to the Rainbow Children's Trust.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Nice one, buddy.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13APPLAUSE
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Iwan.- If we, fingers crossed, win,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18our money's going to go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Nice one, buddy.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Well, I wish both our families the best of luck.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26You're going to see a series of questions on the screens up there
0:25:26 > 0:25:28in front of you. As soon as you know the answer,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32you press your button, but bearing in mind, you flinch or get it wrong,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35the point will go to the opposing family.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38So the families will be asked a question
0:25:38 > 0:25:40and presented with a series of answers.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The instant they see the correct one, they must race to the button.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48The player with the quickest reactions will score a point for their family.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50But if they react to an incorrect answer,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52they will hand the point over to the opposition.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54First family to ten points will win.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58It's the first one to ten. Like I said, it's four to the Thomases,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01one to the Healeys. All to play for.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Come on, guys!- Here we go.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Right, remember, we're playing for our chosen charities, lads.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07£20,000 at stake.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10First one to ten. Push the button when you see an apple.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Let's play.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14So, they've got to push that button the moment they see an apple.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Austin's got that wrong -
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I don't mean to be pedantic, but that's a pomegranate.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Austin, no, you got it wrong, mate!
0:26:30 > 0:26:33That's a point to the opposition, my friend.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36It's five to the Thomases and one to the Healeys.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Right, we're playing on with this question. Lock in,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41we're still looking for an apple. Let's play!
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Not a good start for the Healeys, giving away a point.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49And there's an apple - and Austin's seen it first
0:26:49 > 0:26:51while the Thomases are late to react.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54First off the mark there, he comes back, is Austin!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Austin makes up for his earlier mistake and pulls a point back.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Fantastic stuff. - So you got a point back,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03so it's five to the Thomases, two to the Healeys.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Question number two, hit the button
0:27:05 > 0:27:07when you see a multiple of seven. Let's play!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10They are looking for a number from the seven times table.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13This may be for charity, but there's no charity here -
0:27:13 > 0:27:15both families desperate to be the fastest.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26First off the mark there was Kaveh!
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Quick maths there from Kaveh - he's pulled one back for the Healeys.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's three to the Healeys
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and still in the lead with five, it's the Thomases.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Hit the button when you see a Shane among the pigeons.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Well, I don't know what to expect here -
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I guess they are looking for Shane's face among the pigeons.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56That's me, and that was Iwan! APPLAUSE
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Iwan spots Shane the pigeon and gets the Thomases back in this.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I thought you were falling asleep there.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Question number four, push the button
0:28:06 > 0:28:10when you the word is spelt correctly. Let's play.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14So, the first family to spot the only correctly spelt world.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24First off the mark there is Austin!
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Austin showing off some lightning reactions there.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Lightning speed and that's what you use buddy, speed.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Question five, hit the button when you see the wrong month
0:28:34 > 0:28:36of the year. Let's play.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Things are getting tense now. Looking for the month that is
0:28:40 > 0:28:41out of sequence.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Oh, dad, Allan! - Well played, well played.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53What happened there?
0:28:53 > 0:28:58May, June... I'm afraid you've given a point to the Thomases.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01That's seven to the Thomases, four to the Healeys. Gentlemen!
0:29:01 > 0:29:03It's OK, it's fine.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Still all to play for, lads,
0:29:04 > 0:29:07still looking for the answer to this question. Let's play.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Still looking for month that's out of sequence.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Oh, yet again, Austin quickest off the mark.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15He really wants to win this.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18You saved your old man there, didn't you, buddy, eh?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Right, seven to the Thomases,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23five to the Healeys. Still trailing behind.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Only two points in between the two families.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Right, question six. Push the button when you see a real rabbit.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Let's play.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34So now we are looking for a real rabbit, not a dog with bunny ears.
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Oh!
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Oh, dear, that's a dog in a rabbit outfit.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Kaveh's not going to live this one down for a while.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51No!
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Austin, come back, don't worry about it!
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Austin demonstrating his team motivational skills
0:29:59 > 0:30:02that made him an successful international sportsman.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Not only is he colour-blind, but he's animal blind as well.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Right, unfortunately, you gave a point away to the Thomases.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11They could win this by default, you know that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15We're still playing this question, we're looking for a real rabbit.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17LAUGHTER
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Right, gentlemen, lock in to the game - play on!
0:30:22 > 0:30:23And there it is!
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Well done, Iwan, you got a point! Of course, it's the rabbit.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Right, guys, this is the crucial point now -
0:30:30 > 0:30:35this could be the question where we say goodbye to one of our families.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Push the button when the dots on the dominos add up to five -
0:30:39 > 0:30:40let's play.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42The end is nigh for the Healeys -
0:30:42 > 0:30:45this could be game, set and match to the Thomas family.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Oh, dear, Cliff's flinched.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Dominoes not his strongest game - he's more of a bridge man, I think.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- First time you hit the button and you got it wrong. - It's past my bedtime.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I know, you should be in bed now, buddy.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Want a Horlicks and a lie down? - Absolutely.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11OK, well, you've given a point away.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14This could be the beginning of a comeback for the Healeys.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Still looking for the answer to this question - let's play.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Still looking for five dots on the domino.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22First off the mark there was Austin.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25And Austin saves the day yet again -
0:31:25 > 0:31:27that's his fourth point in this game!
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Right...will this be the last question?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Push the button when the little numbers match the big number.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38It's 9-7 - let's play.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40So they are looking for a big number
0:31:40 > 0:31:42that's made from the same little number -
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and that's a three made of little fours.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47And that's a mistake.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Kaveh, you handed a win to the Thomases!
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Well, well, well, Kaveh blows it for the Healey family -
0:31:55 > 0:31:57he had a bad day on the buttons and his brain just seized up
0:31:57 > 0:32:00and that split second mistake is all there is
0:32:00 > 0:32:02between winning and losing on this show!
0:32:02 > 0:32:05What an incredible game - right, ladies and gentlemen?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Very close. Listen, Austin, you will not leave empty-handed -
0:32:09 > 0:32:12on behalf of everyone on Reflex, we'll give a donation to your charity.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- Thank you so much, buddy. - Thank you very much.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Thank you, Dad. Cheers, Kaveh.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18A big round of applause for Healeys.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20So it's with a heavy heart,
0:32:20 > 0:32:23we say goodbye to the gallant Healey family.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Parting is such sweet sorrow -
0:32:25 > 0:32:28I really feel I got to know them well.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31I feel so down...and this music isn't helping.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- # So long, farewell... # - Oh, this is better!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Goodbye, Healeys!
0:32:37 > 0:32:41# I hate to go and leave this pretty sight... #
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Well...
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- That was tough, that last reaction, wasn't it?- It was.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54It was almost by default, but listen,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57you've done really well to get this far.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59This is Money Ball - take a look at this.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04One of the Thomases will stand on a three-metre-tall podium.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Facing them are three high speed cannons.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08In the green phase,
0:33:08 > 0:33:1115 high impact balls are randomly fired toward them.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14The player must make contact with as many of them as possible,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16scoring a point for each.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Next is the red phase.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20This time, they need to avoid every red ball,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24as every one that makes contact subtracts a point.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27If, at the end of both phases, any green points remain,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30the Thomases win £10,000 for their chosen charity
0:33:30 > 0:33:32and the chance to double their winnings.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Guys, I'll let you chat between yourselves
0:33:39 > 0:33:42who you think should be up there on the podium.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44It's got to be you, isn't it?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's yours, written all over it.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I'd love to have a crack at the money for charity,
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- I'd love to have a go, yeah. - OK, wow!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54This could be really exciting, folks.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Best of luck.- Thank you. - Go and do it for the charity.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Let's go play Money Ball - go on, buddy.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So it all rests on the big, broad shoulders of Iwan Thomas -
0:34:03 > 0:34:06he's used to the pressure of competing at the highest standard
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and it doesn't come much higher than this.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11There he is up there,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls -
0:34:13 > 0:34:16the Olympian poster boy.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- How are you feeling, mate? - Good.- Yeah? OK.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2315 green balls are going to be fired in your direction, buddy -
0:34:23 > 0:34:24touch as many as you can.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I wish you all the best of luck, isn't that right, everybody?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Iwan, you can do this - all right, mate?
0:34:34 > 0:34:3715 balls - let's play!
0:34:38 > 0:34:41So Iwan Thomas has the chance to make as much money as possible
0:34:41 > 0:34:43for Macmillan Cancer Support -
0:34:43 > 0:34:44we all wish him all the best.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52And that's the first green - and he gets it!
0:34:53 > 0:34:54He made that look easy
0:34:54 > 0:34:56but each cannon is capable of firing these balls
0:34:56 > 0:34:58at speeds of up to 70kmph.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Here comes the second -
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Iwan still holds the UK record for the 400m.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05will he be fast enough to hit this?
0:35:06 > 0:35:10No - confirmation then that these balls are faster than Iwan Thomas.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12How about this next one?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Oh, and that seemed to slip through his fingers as well -
0:35:16 > 0:35:19does that mean this game is harder than the Olympics?
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Probably not.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Just got a finger on that one,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23but he really needs to up his game now!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27He might have caught a tiny edge there, I'm not sure.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Oh, here comes a double whammy.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31What can the Olympic sprinter do here?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33He's made himself big...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35But not big enough - he missed the first.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39And the second - this is not part of his race plan, surely!
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Come on, Iwan - got his eyes firmly fixed on this next ball.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I think he just brushed that one - he really must make contact
0:35:46 > 0:35:47with the rest of these now.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50And that's contact!
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Iwan gave that a proper thump!
0:35:52 > 0:35:55No messing about, there.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Now here's another - he's making a lunge at it...
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Oh, dear, he misses it.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02What about this one?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Definitely got a few fingers on that!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Incoming - smash it, man!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10No!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Come on!- He's angry with himself.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16And so am I, and you don't want to see me angry - come on, Iwan!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Another double whammy - this flummoxed him last time.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21That's one out of two - that's better.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23This has to be the last ball now.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27Well done, Iwan.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Wow...
0:36:34 > 0:36:36How many do you reckon you got?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38I'm hoping at least seven, maybe eight.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I'm happy to tell you, you got nine.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Yes!- Nine.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48So confirmation of Iwan's magnificent nine points -
0:36:48 > 0:36:51all on his hands and some by the slimmest of margins.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53But they all still count!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58All right, Iwan, this is phase two.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01so you need to concentrate, mate, get back in the zone.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04We're going to fire 15 red balls in your direction
0:37:04 > 0:37:07and it's important you make contact with none of them,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09cos for every red ball that makes contact with you,
0:37:09 > 0:37:13we're going to have to deduct one of those green points.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Here we go, 15 red balls - please don't touch any of them.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Let's play!
0:37:20 > 0:37:23So Iwan's got Olympic and World Championship medals
0:37:23 > 0:37:24as well as an MBE,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27but can he add the coveted Reflex medal to his collection
0:37:27 > 0:37:30and make a load of money for charity?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31What do you mean, we don't do medals?
0:37:33 > 0:37:34And here we go.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36First red ball incoming -
0:37:36 > 0:37:39and that's hit Iwan right in the side.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Not the greatest of starts.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Here's ball two - he's seen that late.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Oh, that's a back scratcher, think that got him!
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Ball three now heading straight for him - move, Iwan!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Oh, dear, this is isn't going well -
0:37:55 > 0:37:57tried to sidestep it while not falling off that podium.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Of course, this isn't the first time Iwan's stood on a podium,
0:38:01 > 0:38:03but under vastly different circumstances.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Right, it's a double whammy.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Come on, Iwan, focus - remember your training!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Oh, and he's been caught out by one of those -
0:38:12 > 0:38:16unfortunately, none of his training involved being pelted by red balls.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18And he's just been hit by another.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- Come on!- Iwan's not happy again,
0:38:20 > 0:38:22and now I'm incandescent with rage.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Rrrrggghhh!
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Finally, Iwan dodges one - or did he?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28That's calmed him down but it hasn't calmed me down -
0:38:28 > 0:38:30I'm going to have to go and cool off for a bit.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
0:38:32 > 0:38:33All right, I'm back.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Cliff and Gareth, concerned he might have thrown this one away!
0:38:36 > 0:38:39And he's avoided that one - this could still be on.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Come on, Iwan!- Yes!
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Another double whammy,
0:38:42 > 0:38:44and he's swerved the first...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47...followed by a pelvic wiggle - textbook!
0:38:51 > 0:38:56This one straight down his throat - can he do something special here?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Whoa! Magnificent foot shuffle.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01and you don't see that in the 4x400m relay.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03If dodging red balls was an Olympic sport,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Iwan would definitely be an Olympic medallist.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08Oh, he already is!
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Like a true sportsman,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Iwan really fighting his way back into Money Ball!
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Can he repeat that pelvic wiggle...thingy?
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Possibly...
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Yes, he can!
0:39:20 > 0:39:24This must be the last ball and it's flying directly at him.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Do something amazing, Iwan, something stupendous...
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Or...something that will really smart.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Ouch! Big...face..plant!
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Right in the snozzle. That's going to smart!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41What a terrible way to finish.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Poor chap - it's made him look a bit silly.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Comical, almost. Even faintly ridiculous.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50How embarrassing.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Right, that's enough now.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56All right, maybe one more.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Oh, it really is gold -
0:39:57 > 0:39:59can I have a copy of this?
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- Right, first phase, you got nine green balls.- Yep.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Nine or more reds, unfortunately, you say goodnight.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19You were hit by eight balls - you got £10,000!
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- Eight balls!- Eight?- You done it!
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Unbelievably, Iwan makes it through Money Ball
0:40:27 > 0:40:29by the skin of his teeth - well, nose -
0:40:29 > 0:40:31with one green point left
0:40:31 > 0:40:33and bags his charity £10,000
0:40:33 > 0:40:36which, whatever happens, is safe!
0:40:36 > 0:40:37Congratulations!
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Listen, how do you fancy this, right?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Before we all say goodnight, how about doubling it?
0:40:41 > 0:40:45We're going to fire one golden ball - where it goes, I have no idea.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Whatever happens, you got the £10,000.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- That's safe?- That's safe.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- I'm up there.- Are you going for it? - Of course I am!- Going to double it? - Double, yeah.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Facing the cannons one last time, Iwan must take a leap of faith
0:40:58 > 0:41:01and make contact with the golden ball and, in doing so,
0:41:01 > 0:41:05double his charity winnings to £20,000.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10But if he misses it, his charity still receives £10,000.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Look at that real-life action hero up there,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16the golden boy of the Olympics.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Just so you're aware, mate,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21we're only making this exception for the charity tonight, OK?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23So that £10,000 is safe.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25So the £10,000 is safe,
0:41:25 > 0:41:29but he has the chance to double it here to £20,000.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32However no-one has ever touched the golden ball -
0:41:32 > 0:41:35if Iwan does, he'll be making Reflex history!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39It's up to you to take a leap of faith - just hit it.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Let's play!
0:41:51 > 0:41:53There it is -
0:41:53 > 0:41:55and with it comes the greatest physical test
0:41:55 > 0:41:58this world-class athlete has ever faced.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03One man, one golden ball, one podium...one love...
0:42:03 > 0:42:05What am I talking about? Come on, Iwan!
0:42:05 > 0:42:07He's seen it.
0:42:08 > 0:42:14Yes! Yes, it's beautiful!
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Yes! He's done it!
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Forget world records, forget gold medals,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23this is the first successful golden ball - ever!
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Look at the victory roll!
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Or could this be the mother of all face plants?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Who cares? It's history!
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Whoa!
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Remember where you are so you can say where you were
0:42:37 > 0:42:41when you saw the first human to touch the golden ball!
0:42:42 > 0:42:45I'm...in a soundproof box with no windows.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50That's £20,000 for charity
0:42:50 > 0:42:53and that's what I call a sporting hero.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Ladies and gentlemen, Iwan Thomas.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Wow!- Well done!
0:43:01 > 0:43:04You took a leap of faith - you somersaulted off.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06You got your fingertips to it. Didn't he do wonderful?
0:43:06 > 0:43:08What about that? Iwan Thomas!
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Come and say goodnight with me.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Wow! Thank you so much
0:43:13 > 0:43:16to Austin Healey and his wonderful family
0:43:16 > 0:43:18and of course, Iwan Thomas and his family.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Macmillan Cancer Trust are now £20,000 richer
0:43:21 > 0:43:23because of this man here.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Thank you so much for watching, everybody.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Hopefully see you soon on Reflex. Take care, bye-bye!
