Episode 2 Reflex

What you're about to see is the ultimate test of human reaction

and reflex.

Starring in tonight's battle of the Reflexes is

the Corrie family from Carlisle.

Led by 32-year-old Debbie with her father, retired accountant David and

her sister-in-law Christina looking windswept in the Reflex wind tunnel.

They're up against the Webb family from Blackpool,

captained by 25-year-old Siabhan with her brother Jamie

and their mum Rebecca.

They'll compete in a series of split second, nerve jangling

and frankly sometimes ridiculous challenges, all captured in super

slow motion and this is the fastest game show in the world, possibly.

Ladies and gentleman your host, Shane Richie!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Thank you, everybody.

Welcome to a brand-new show, Reflex,

the ultimate test in human reaction, where two families will compete in a

series of super quick, extraordinary challenges,

both physical and mental.

At the end of the show the family who finished the fastest

could go on and potentially win £20,000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

But we ain't got time to hang about let's go meet our super- fast families.

First of all, who have we got over here? Hello, my love.

I'm Debbie. This is my dad Dave. This is my sister-in-law Christina.

OK. Any hobbies, pass times?

I enjoy going to the gym, I enjoy playing Tetris.

OK and of course this is Dad, how are you?

-I'm good, thank you.

-What do you do, sir?

I'm a chairman at the local scouts group.

Dib, dib, dib! Check out me woggle!

-No, thank you, but thanks anyway!

-Who have we got at the end here?

-I'm Chrissie!

-Also known as Heed.

You call her Heed? Where does the name Heed come from?

-My big hair.

-You've got lovely hair by the way, darling,

did you come on a motor bike? I'm joking! Lovely.

Let's have a round of applause for the Corries!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Please welcome the Webbs.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Tell us a bit about yourself and your family then.

I'm Siabhan and we're all from just outside of Blackpool.

-Blackpool, you all right?

-Yeah, all right!

All right! Luvlay! Owaya! Y'all right!

-That's a real rubbish accent, isn't it?

-Just a tiny bit.

This is Jamie, my brother and this is my mum Rebecca

-Your mum?!

-Yes!

-Really? All right, Mum?

-Fine, thank you!

-Tell us a little bit about yourself.

-I'm an optical assistant

-I'm over here, by the way.

You've got a brother here,

what do you think you bring to tonight's Reflex?

Speed, agility. Just not going to win, er lose.

You were right the first time!

I wish you the best of luck welcome to the show the Webbs.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys. The rules are very simple, OK, families?

Be as fast as you can over five physical and mental challenges.

The fastest family at the end of the night will go on to our endgame

which is the Moneyball game where potentially you could win £20,000.

WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

OK, families, are you ready for our very first challenge?

Good, so let's take a look.

This is the first of three head-to-head challenges.

Tonight's first two players must climb on top of these

giant three-metre inflated balloons.

Now there's something you don't see everyday!

On hearing the trigger, both balloons

will be simultaneously popped. As they fall,

they're faced with five reaction buttons on the mat below.

One of these buttons will light up.

The first to hit that button wins a point for their team.

APPLAUSE

That's it, that's all you've gotta do.

You fall off a giant balloon and you hit a button, what could be easier?

So turn around, have a little chat with your families

and we'll find out who's going to play.

-Who's going to go for this one?

-I'm thinking you for this one.

Yeah, I think you can do this one.

Falling out of the balloon, right, I'm not quite sure what to do

when I hit the ground. I'd just lay there like a starfish.

Help!

So, in this first of three head-to-heads,

each family must decide who will play.

Their choices are critical, as they all must take on a game each.

Luckily, though, they know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Well, let's hope so.

Right, families, if you'd like to turn around and face the front.

Who's going to play? Let's find out, please step forward.

So, it's a battle between busy mum-of-two Debbie.

Her love of karaoke useless here, I think,

against ex-army trained Siabhan.

At stake, the first point in tonight's Battle of fast reactions.

You all right up there, ladies?

Imagine the Incredible Hulk popping chewing gum in your face.

Let's play.

Well, I'm told, both girls are wedged behind those giant balloons.

Oh, yes, there's Siabhan.

Two metres in diameter, each balloon holds, well, a lot of hot air.

No wonder then, that Debbie seems to be mouthing the words, help me!

Too late for help, Debbie. The only way is down and fast.

When this music ends, the game could begin at any moment.

If you don't like loud noises,

I suggest you put your fingers in your ears.

Who can grab that first, vital point?

And there is the pop! Whoa! And they don't seem to be moving.

Come on, guys, the game has started!

Both balloons simultaneously disintegrate.

Never seen anything like it in my life.

The thin balloon skins, look at them swish away like a matador,

tormenting a bull, except there are no animals here,

just a business coordinator and an NHS administrator.

It's like watching two skydivers plummet to Earth,

but without parachutes. Now, there is the target light.

Button two is a beacon to both girls,

but they have just fractions of a second to see it as they fall.

Siabhan is falling faster

and has already placed her hand out ready to smash that button.

That's fearless.

Meanwhile, Debbie, although taller, is lighter,

and is falling more to protect herself than hit the button.

They're just about to land. This will be crucial.

Siabhan hits the floor first!

Oh, that is going to hurt. Wallop.

Now, the race begins.

Siabhan has her head up and has spotted the target light.

Debbie is tenths of a second behind her, but lands on all fours.

Head down.

Siabhan is lunging forward, but wait!

Debbie seems to find a superhuman burst of energy,

hand outstretched like a praying mantis.

And she gets it!

Unbelievable.

I take it back, she IS an animal.

A clinical finish for the NHS girl.

Well done.

How about this one, first down to hit the mat was you,

but you managed to get to the button first

and that's all there was in it, just that tiny split second.

Let's see how that's affected our scores.

So, it is 1-0 to the Corries in this first reaction challenge.

Nice wind tunnel celebration.

You are full of confidence. And you're all laughing.

But wait until you see challenge number two.

Each player faces a five-piece drum kit.

Randomly, the drums will light up in a sequence of 20 beats.

The players must follow this sequence by hitting each

drum correctly.

The first player to complete this sequence wins a point

for their family.

OK, get into your huddles, have a little chat.

Let's find out who's going to play challenge number two.

Who's going to be the best at actions, responses?

-Quick, isn't it?

-I used to play the drums.

We've gotta get points on the board.

-Am I not too tall?

-Can you reach?

THEY LAUGH

Hello, you're having a giggle over here.

We've got an unfair competition here because they're from Blackpool.

And all they do all day in Blackpool is... You know those things that pop up and down?

-Do you think they spend their days going around and playing the crazy hammer game?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Who would you like to go against?

-It's like those moles that pop up!

That's what they said,

-because you're from Blackpool you probably do that all day.

-We do!

As long as I don't have to remember anything.

Right, families, if you've like to turn around

and face the front, let's find out who's going to play.

Please step forward.

OK, Rebecca has an advantage.

-Oh, no, what?

-Because you're right,

she does spend all day in Blackpool hitting that game.

But also, how about this, she plays the drums.

-Oh, fantastic!

-Let's go play, good luck, ladies!

So it's quick-fingered hairdresser, Christina,

with drumming experience versus eagle-eyed optician Rebecca

with traditional Blackpool mole-whacking skills.

This is going to be drama-geddon!

Ready, ladies? Let's play!

It says here that each drum kit is filled with a topping of chromatic,

interactive particles, otherwise known as coloured playground sand.

Each player has been tested before the show

and ranked on their pure reactions and interestingly, Rebecca has the

fastest time, while Christina has the slowest.

But they don't know that. Who will drumstick their way to victory?

Remember, it's first to complete a 20 beats sequence.

They both look focused.

When the music ends, it could start at any second.

Off they go!

And, hold on! Wait a minute! I wasn't ready! What's going on here?

This is confusing me. Can we rewind, please?

If only we had a load of hi tech slow motion cameras? Oh, we do!

Right, the first drum to light up is green

and Rebecca is the first to react, closely followed by Christina.

Bish.

Next to light up is red,

and Christina is using her momentum to get there first, but only just.

Bash.

Christina is in the zone.

The drum zone.

While Rebecca is just behind her. Bosh.

Both watching families are rooted to the spot,

possibly because it's a freeze-frame.

Anyway, back to the game.

# I can hear it calling in the air tonight... #

Yes, Phil, there is something in the air tonight, all right,

probably all that coloured sand. Oh, look at that.

Christina's virtuoso drumming skills are paying off.

She is following the sequence perfectly.

While Rebecca and her fine handed technique has slowed her down,

which means she's forgotten what to hit. It's the green one, Rebecca.

The green one! Lit in front of you! No, the green!

Finally! A bit too late. Christina completes the sequence comfortably.

She's won it.

You can stop now, Christina. It's finished!

You've won it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's have one last drum finale from the girls.

EASTENDERS THEME TUNE

Back to Alfie, I mean Shane.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, don't be disappointed.

Let's see how that's affected our scores.

Drum roll, as the Corries double their lead.

And I'm still loving those moves.

Listen, there's still a long way to go

because we know who's playing challenge number three.

This is the lads' game!

-Have a look at this.

-In a best of three,

the final two players face a row of ten glass bottles.

Standing opposite each other and armed with a mallet, they must

wait for nine of the bottles to drop through their trap doors.

The first player to then smash the remaining bottle will

win their heat.

The first to win two heats will take the point for their families.

And playing this game is David for the Corries versus

Jamie for the Webbs.

Now Jamie, David. Experienced gentleman over youth here.

This is where we get on the board now, this is where it starts.

Fighting talk for somebody who's going to be 3-0 down.

Let's see who's going to win challenge number three, gentlemen!

So it's mano a mano, age and experience in the sage-like shape

of David versus youthful exuberance

and a touch of desperation in Jamie.

Who will have the sharper reflexes?

Right, gentlemen, remember this is the best of three.

Good luck to you both. Let's play.

So, a row of ten green bottles stands between Jamie and David.

Hang on, who swiped my case of Chianti Classico?

I was saving those for Christmas!

In our pre-game testing, Jamie is just one hundredth of a second

quicker than David on paper.

But this is the real competition.

You can see the tension in Jamie's face,

or are his goggles on too tight?

Warning, please don't try to reproduce any of tonight's

challenges. Unless you have a hi tech studio,

a load of super slow-mo cameras and a Shane Richie.

And there they go, nine bottles fall

and only one remains.

Bottle three is the target,

both players seem rooted to the spot but

remember we're watching in Reflex vision,

hundreds of times slower.

Wait, now both react in unison, raising their mallets,

but David is latched straight onto the target bottle

and Jamie is only just looking across.

The silver fox finds his prey.

Wallop!

And the Corrie girls are loving that, Debbie's gone wild.

Let's see that again.

No, not that.

That's better,

a clinical piece of swiping from the scout chairman who can now

add the coveted bottle-smashing badge to his collection.

Age and experience one, youth nil.

Remember guys it's best of three, still all to play for.

The Corries just need one more clinical swipe from David to

bag that point and give their family a massive lead.

Right. Come on, Jamie mate,

to force this into extra time you need to get this next bottle.

Remember, best of three, good luck fellas. Let's play.

And there's the all-important drop,

just a tenth of a second from ten green bottles to one.

David is yet again first to react,

he's proving that reflexes do get better with age.

Wait, Jamie's catching up.

He's hit turbo charge, incredible acceleration.

Blimey, he's annihilated it!

Welcome back to the competition, the Webb family.

He's smashed it, he's destroyed it, he's walloped it into oblivion.

We have extra time here, it's a heat apiece, game on.

That's a win for Jamie!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So whose bottle is about to give out,

whose dreams are about to be shattered?

Who's using too many analogies?

OK, it's one apiece. Heat three, let's play!

This is the deciding heat,

it all comes down to the next split second reaction.

I can hardly watch.

Although I have to, I'm commentating.

And away they go.

Who's learnt the most from the two previous heats?

Who's got the edge, the hunger for victory?

David has a slight edge going into the swing,

can Jamie claw it back like before?

I don't think he can.

No! The Corries win the battle of the bottle by two heats to one.

And there goes Debbie again,

she really knows how to celebrate, doesn't she?

Experience has conquered youth, proving that reflexes don't

get any slower with age.

Well done, all right Jamie!

So, you won the heats 2-1, of course you won the point.

How do you feel, Jamie? Do you feel like you've let yourself down,

-bit despondent?

-Yeah, I could've had that one.

Still got a long way to go though. Well done, buddy, yes.

So can we say experience over youth here?

Always, always.

Let's see how that has affected our scores!

This is turning into a bit of a one-sided competition.

3-0 to the Corries,

but there's still time for the Webbs to come from behind.

Right, game number four this is where we pair up.

You will pair up, but I gotta let you know in this is two points,

you know how important that is, don't you Webbs?

More importantly, you're going to have to leave someone behind. Let's check out challenge four.

Both players must work together as random

jets of water are fired from the floor.

Catching the water in cups, the players must fill

the collection tank, fitted with a float.

First team to fill

and displace the float from their tank will win two points.

This game is about chaos.

So it's time to team up into pairs,

find out who's going to be left behind.

My goodness me, that looks ace.

-Why don't you two do it?

-No, well I'm not saying no, I say you two, I'm too bossy for that.

Can't believe we're 3-0 down.

It's all right, we can bring this back.

We need to just, we just gotta win it.

If you get half a cup you're going to spend three seconds pouring it out,

if you fill your cup you're only moving once.

I'll go, whilst you're filling it up I'll collect more water.

-Yeah, take it in turns.

-Yeah.

-Right.

All right, families, if you'd like to turn around and face the front.

Remember, we are doubling up the points. Who's going to play?

Who's going to get left behind? Let's find out.

So the parents are left behind,

the youngsters in each family square up for the water fight.

-How do you think they're going to do?

-Smash it!

-You need this now, don't you? You've got to win!

-Come on!

If you get this, it's five points in the lead,

don't forget we're playing for two points families.

So, the Corrie girls are in the driving seat here,

having already beaten their opponents individually.

While the Webbs have left themselves little choice

but to win these two precious points to keep their family in the running.

Are you set? You concentrating, are you in the zone?

-Let's play.

-So catch the water

and fill the two-litre container to the top to win, sounds easy.

Cue the obligatory water music.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS

Isn't that lovely?

Elegant, like a slow-mo water feature.

Each jet fires a one-litre salvo. That water is cold, by the way.

Jamie the first to pour, that looks like a good volume.

Christina is busy smiling, but is completely missing that jet.

Luckily, Debbie is there to mop it up.

She has a big grin though, the Corrie girls working well together.

This is teamwork in perfect unison.

Siabhan sprayed right in the mush, she should've seen that coming.

But what is this serene ballet like in real-time?

Oh, dear! Wet chaos!

Horrible! Eww! Call the plumber!

Oh, thank goodness, back to super slow motion.

Jamie missed that, but that column of water didn't miss Christina.

Jamie's searching for another jet. Behind you Jamie!

Yes, it's that damp feeling in your bottom.

Never mind, but you've got a soggy bottom now.

Christina composes herself. Not sure if that sideways catcher

technique will catch anything, unless she was in outer space.

It's spilling every which way but in.

Siabhan behind there with more success using plain old gravity.

Oh, dear, now Christina's pouring what little

she did have onto her foot.

Back to the real world and the Webbs filling up nicely.

On the sidelines, mum Rebecca is going wild.

Come on son!

Unlike David, is that a freeze frame?

No, he just moved.

She's really living every moment,

unlike David who's gotta react any time now.

Well, what a hearty yell of encouragement that was.

Chaos continues to reign. That was fun, wasn't it? As we reach

the climax to this watery test of reactions.

Jamie and Siabhan have worked better together and are now way ahead.

Talking of heads, Christina's getting a drenching on hers,

and her face, and everywhere else.

Just like Siabhan, she'll need a drip-dry later.

Now the Corries are both going for the same jet and collecting nothing.

Look at that! The Webbs are a thimbleful away from victory.

Just need one last delivery to make sure.

And Jamie does just that in a final splosh.

And that's their first win of the competition.

That's one happy mum and that's one damp but happy brother

and sister, somebody fetch some towels.

The haunting cry of an anguished accountant.

Let's have a look at our scores!

The wet and wild Webbs are off the mark and are much happier now

they have a few points and are drying off in the wind tunnel.

Could this be a later surge to overcome the Corries?

So we've reached the climax in tonight's battle of the families,

but there is still everything to play for, as the families

face each other in the ultimate reaction showdown.

Please welcome the families.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We had in game four, a little turn of events. It was 3-0 to the Corries

and a great comeback there. Well done, you guys,

-for bringing it 3-2.

-Just a slip-up.

-Oh, was it just a slip-up?

-We're going to rectify it right now.

This game is about mental ability,

mental agility, it's about how quick you can process that question,

get it to your brain, get it to your hand.

First family to ten go to the Moneyball game

and a chance of winning £20,000.

Both families will be asked a question

and see a series of answers.

When they see the correct answer, they must hit the button.

The player with the quickest reactions will win

a point for their family.

But if a player flinches before the right answer, the point will be

given to the opposition.

The first team to reach ten points will go through to Moneyball

and a possible £20,000.

You can play along at home using our interactive service,

basically shout at the screen when you know the answer.

-Everyone in the zone?

-ALL: Yeah.

So first question. Push the button

when the wrong number appears in the numerical sequence, let's play.

They're looking for the odd number in the numerical sequence,

which is counting, basically.

And Jamie's moving. And so is David!

First off the mark there was Jamie!

Jamie just gets to the button first

much to David's annoyance.

You've brought the game here, now it's three apiece.

Question number two, push the button when it's 2:00pm.

Let's play.

So, the families are level for the first time in the competition.

And Jamie's first off the mark again. But it's not 2:00pm.

That was trigger-happy.

I don't think Jamie will look at a clock in the same way again!

Oh, Jamie, you flinched there, didn't you, mate?

You went for it, you've given a point to the Corries!

So it's four to the Corries, three to the Webbs.

We're still looking for 2:00pm, let's play.

Oh, I was always useless at the 24-hour clock.

We're still looking for 2:00pm.

First off the mark there was Siabhan!

Siabhan can tell the time, saving her brother's blushes!

It's four apiece, question number three.

Push the button when the first

and last letters of the word are the same, let's play.

So, when the first and last letters are the same, like in Dad.

First off the mark there was Jamie.

Jamie's on fire and the Webbs are starting to dominate.

And it's the first time tonight that the Webbs have gone into the lead.

It's 5-4 to the Corries, here we go.

Question number four, push the button

when you see a multiple of nine.

Let's play

Not another maths question!

This is the nine times tables.

-Siabhan's gone alone!

-Siabhan's got it!

She knows her nines.

Mum Rebecca with one of her understated victory celebrations.

Meanwhile the Corries are still counting up in nines.

Wow, you're letting them back in the game here.

Question number five, push the button

when you see a chipmunk holding an umbrella. Let's play

Oh, isn't that cute! How did they get them

into those miniature costumes, do you think?

It's David versus Siabhan and David gets the point!

The Corries are fighting back!

Remember, it's the first family to ten!

So, it's five now to the Corries. Still in the lead

though with six points are the Webbs

as we go onto question number six.

Push the button when the little numbers match the big number, let's play.

So this is lots of twos inside a big three

and that's not what they're looking for,

oh, neither is that! David's gone too early and undone all that

good work and doesn't he know it! Or maybe he's just got a migraine.

No, he's angry!

David's given a point over to the Webbs. Still on this question.

They're still looking for the same small number inside the big.

First off the mark there, Siabhan!

Siabhan is number-tastic there and David sums up the Corries' despair.

Breathe, David, breathe!

Guys, two points away from a potential £20,000.

Don't give up, OK, you're still playing a great game, you can

still do this. Five to the Corries eight to the Webbs

as we go into question number seven.

Push the button when all the arrows point in the same direction,

let's play.

Things are getting incredibly tense down there.

-First off the mark there, Debbie!

-Brilliant!

Debbie smashes that button and puts a smile back on her dad's face.

Brings you up to six,

but still in the lead with eight are the Webbs.

Question number eight, push the button when you see seven cubes.

Let's play.

This is a 3D puzzle.

So the Webbs have come from behind,

can the Corries take back the initiative?

-First off the mark is Jamie!

-Yes!

Jamie gets his third question right!

I could hear you all counting.

Right, Siabhan, Jamie, Rebecca,

you're one question away from going through to Moneyball.

Corries, you can do this, OK?

So here we go, question number nine, push the button

when you see an odd number of squares.

Let's play.

So they're looking for an odd number of squares.

Quick off the mark there was David!

David could you be bringing the family back into the game?

-You're up to seven.

-We're getting there!

The Webbs are still one point away from the Moneyball, you

guys are on the comeback trail here now.

It's make or break time.

Will the Corries stage a monumental fight back or will the Webbs

be booking their ticket to Moneyball?

Question number ten, push the button

when the light bulb turns green, let's play.

So we're looking for when the light bulb turns green.

This will be one expensive light bulb.

Jamie's done it, the Webbs are through!

What an imperious display!

I think he might be pleased!

Yep, he's pleased!

Unsurprisingly, so is Mum.

But the Corries are gallant losers, they just lost their way

having started the competition so perfectly,

overtaken by the Blackpool Webb family.

Jamie, every credit, mate, you were strong all the way

through that game, buddy.

Christina, David, Debbie, have you enjoyed yourselves?

Oh, it's been excellent, really brilliant.

Thank you so much and I've genuinely enjoyed your company,

-we've had a laugh and next time I'm in town will you give me a trim?

-I will.

Lovely, give them a round of applause Christina, David and Debbie the Corries.

APPLAUSE

# It is such a perfect day

# I'm glad I spent it with you

# Oh, such a perfect day

# You just keep me hanging on. #

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Welcome to Moneyball,

you've had a real interesting journey to get to here.

Individually, you lost the first three games.

So we've kind of established as a team, you play better than you

-do individually.

-Definitely.

So we've got a bit of a dilemma now, because the Moneyball game,

we're only looking for one of you.

We're looking for a hero, but before we decide let me

show you what Moneyball looks like, look at this.

One player from tonight's fastest family

will stand on a three-metre tall podium.

Facing them are three high-speed cannons.

In the green phase, 15 high-impact balls are randomly fired

towards them. The player must make contact with as many of them

as possible scoring a point for each.

Next is the red phase where they face 15 more high-impact balls.

This time, the player must avoid every ball as every

one that makes contact subtracts a point.

If at the end of both phases any green points remain,

the family wins £10,000

and the chance to double their money in the golden ball challenge.

So one of you is going to hopefully go home a hero.

I'm going to give you guys a moment to decide which

one of you is going to play, so have a little chat amongst yourselves.

For me, I would be putting Jamie forward for this, definitely.

-He's got agility, he's nifty.

-Yeah.

-Are you happy to do it?

-Yeah, I'll take it for the team.

-Have we got a hero here tonight?

Yeah, absolutely.

Jamie, good luck buddy. Go play Moneyball!

Well, heroes come in many shapes and sizes

and maybe tonight's hero is Jamie-shaped.

He lost his bottle in the first Reflex challenge but grew

in confidence and single-handedly booked his family into the final.

Come on, Jamie! Go on, my son!

-How are you feeling?

-Nervous.

So this is phase one all right, Jamie?

15 green balls coming your way, touch as many as you can mate.

Let's play.

So, it's one final tense moment of mental preparation,

and one final burst of that spooky music.

Mum Rebecca and sister Siabhan have put their faith in him.

Can Jamie use everything he's learned about his reflexes

and reactions and make contact with as many green balls as possible?

OK, Moneyball phase one is on!

The high-impact balls could come from any angle,

and travel upwards of 70km per hour.

And here's the first. Oh, he's missed it!

And that's how quick his reflexes will need to be.

-Now, another ball. That's a direct hit.

-Yay, come on!

A first point on the board for the Webbs, can he react quickly again?

-I hit that one.

-Jamie thinks he's hit it.

Let's see in the replay. Maybe just off his elbow?

Unconventional, but effective.

Jamie must get his brain to engage his body faster than that.

Did that ball even hit him?

We'll find out later.

Another elbow-type move. You can use your hands, Jamie!

Nervy moments.

Here's a real test, double trouble.

Punches one ball, but just misses the second.

Yes! Come on, you're doing brilliant.

Encouragement from Mum.

Come on, Jamie, let's see some of that Reflex magic, please.

That's more like it! Two hits, using that faithful left elbow again.

But not so good on the right, obviously not his strong side.

Great instinct reaction lunge, bank that!

This is a fantastic start for the Blackpool lad.

Hang on, a triple whammy.

Lefty does the job, Old Faithful.

But no chance on the right and the third sails past him, too.

Another missed opportunity to score.

And it's all over, I think he did quite well.

-APPLAUSE

-Well done!

-Yay, well done, Jamie!

Come on.

Right, Jamie, we're doing this for Blackpool. All right?

I asked you to touch as many green balls as possible.

You scored ten.

-Yay!

-APPLAUSE

Using my Reflex abacus, that's a 66% hit rate, that's a good score!

Let's review the action.

Jamie didn't go out of his way to make contact,

but did make up for it in the later stages

and mostly all on his favoured left side.

Confirmation that he scored ten precious points.

Right, here we go, Jamie. Phase Two.

-15 red balls being randomly fired in your direction.

-OK.

For every red ball that touches, no matter what part of the body, we'll deduct one of the green balls.

Should you fall off the podium,

then we'll have to deduct one of the green points.

-OK, come on!

-Come on, Jamie!

-Come on!

OK. We're fighting for them ten green points, let's play.

OK, Phase Two and no messing around.

First ball has hit him immediately,

he really doesn't want that to happen too much.

Watch out, Jamie, there's the second. Boof, he didn't even move.

Jamie, you're supposed to duck and dodge them

in this bit of the game.

-Ooh, another body blow to the Webbs.

-Oh, no!

Deep breath. Now, we're all with you, Jamie.

Two more locked onto their targets.

Ooh, no-one likes to see that sort of thing - except us!

He tries to body-swerve that first red, only to get accosted.

That's going to hurt. A freak one-off, hopefully.

-Oh!

-OK, he's been hit by every red so far.

Can he up his game and avoid the next ball?

I don't believe it!

Lightning strikes again, in the same, erm...place again!

And now another in the behind area.

This is turning into a turkey shoot. What else could go wrong?

Oh, no, I spoke too soon, he's losing his balance.

Come on, Jamie. Stay up.

If Jamie falls, he's going to lose a point as a penalty.

He's going to stay up, he's going to stay there,

he's going to make it, he's going to hang on.

Jamie, Jamie, Jamie! Stay there, stay...

Oh, he's not going to make it.

Well, that hasn't gone well so far.

Now, that's a bad dodging masterclass -

the complete opposite of what he needed to do.

-Oh!

-Aw!

Maybe Jamie wasn't the best choice for this after all.

Well, this is merely a formality,

the odds are remote, to say the least.

The game will restart any second.

If you're of a nervous disposition,

now might be a good time to hide behind the cat or something.

So, the onslaught continues.

Oh, his reflexes have just kicked in.

Can he dodge the next one?

Yes!

Super hip action, could this be the biggest comeback since Take That?

Yeah, come on, son!

Could this be magic for Jamie?

He probably needs to dodge everything thrown at him

to have any chance of bagging the money.

But crikey, this is unbelievable. They're flying at him.

He's shimmied past that, too. Elvis Presley, eat your heart out!

Come on! Come on, son!

-Go on!

-He's got the hang of this now, top ball-dodging, there.

He's getting the job done and the girls are loving this comeback.

Can't be many balls left now.

Oh, no. It's a triple whammy, the ultimate cross fire.

Surely impossible to avoid. Come on, Jamie!

I do not believe my eyes. Am I dreaming? Pinch me!

Did he... How did he...?

This has to be the world's ultimate body swerve.

Just an incredible display of Reflex wonder action.

Superlatives do not do that justice.

Well, perhaps maybe one - discombobulation!

# I'm all shook up, hoo-hoo-hoo

# Hoo, yay, yay. #

Amazeballs, but has Jamie done enough hip action to avoid

less than ten hits?

Please, never make me say "amazeballs" again!

APPLAUSE

Well done!

Phase One, the greens, you're all over it.

You know, you got ten. Then we come to Phase Two.

-Just got smacked by everything.

-Tried to...

Well, listen, mate. You were hit by the first seven balls.

-Really?

-Yeah.

How are you feeling now?

Gutted, I think I missed out by possibly one or two or something.

SHANE SIGHS HEAVILY

-You scored eight, you've got £10,000!

-YEEESSS! Wooo!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Confirmation, then, that Jamie was hit by seven red balls,

then lost a point for falling off

leaving him with a final score of two greens

bagging his family £10,000.

We can call it a day.

Go and have a glass of champagne, you've won £10,000. Or...

-Or...

-No!

-..we could double it.

If he was to go back on the podium,

one golden ball will be fired in your direction.

Should you make contact with it, you will double that 10,000

and go back to Blackpool with £20,000.

WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

Confronting the cannons one last time,

Jamie will face one golden ball fired randomly at him.

If he manages to make contact,

he could double his family's winnings to £20,000.

But miss the golden ball and they leave with nothing.

Now, do you take a gamble or do you walk away?

I'll leave you three to have a little chat about it.

I want to go on holiday. I want to go on holiday.

-Do you think you can do it?

-Go on.

-No, Jamie, please take the money.

-I really want to go on holiday.

-Yeah, I do.

-Take it?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Take it.

-Come on. We're winners.

Yeah, we'll take the money.

-You're going to take the money!

-APPLAUSE

Money! Good on you. They've won it, well done.

What a whirlwind it's been,

and the Webbs from Blackpool are victorious.

They didn't take the gamble, but instead showed us

how a family can work together in perfect, split-second unison.

Jamie goes back to Blackpool £10,000 richer with his lovely family.

What a great show it's been.

Hopefully we'll see you next time on Reflex!

Take care. Bye-bye, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
