Episode 4 Reflex

What you are about to see

is the ultimate test of human reaction and reflex.

Starring in tonight's battle of the reflexes is...

the Dunn family, from Cheshire, captained by 33-year-old Andrew,

with his sister, Sarah.

Then their dad, and sunbed company owner, Michael.

They're up against the Phillips family, from Cardiff,

led by 30-year-old Michelle,

with her husband, Jason.

And her mum, A&E nurse Karen,

looking like a Reflex wind-tunnel casualty!

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

and sometimes just plain silly challenges

all captured in super slow-motion.

This is the fastest game show in the Cosmos.

I'm Ken Bruce. Ladies and gentlemen, your host, Shane Ritchie!

Thank you!

Whoa! Thank you, everybody. Welcome to Reflex,

the ultimate test in human reaction, where two families

will compete in a series of super- quick, extraordinary challenges.

At the end of the show, the fastest family could go on

and potentially win £20,000!

CHEERING

But we're a long way from that yet.

Let's go and meet the super-fast families.

APPLAUSE

Who have we got over here, then? Hello, son. Welcome.

We've got myself, I'm Andrew.

-So what do you do for a living?

-I work for my dad's family business.

OK, hobbies and pastimes, what do you like doing?

-Do a little bit of singing.

-Oh, do you?

Yeah. Do a little bit of '80s tribute,

-little bit of Robbie tribute.

-He tries!

-Oh, really?

Well, welcome to the show, buddy. And, Sarah,

-how are you, darling?

-I'm fine.

You do a bit of singing as well, don't you?

-Yes. I do, I...

-Right, don't say nothing.

-All right, OK.

Right, come here, right.

Right, Sarah does a tribute act, right?

See if you can guess who she looks like. Anyone here think...?

-Kylie! Yes, you see?

-Geez!

Please welcome Dad, as Elvis!

-How are you, buddy?

-Superb.

-You must be so proud of your family!

-I'm so proud, so proud, yeah.

So tell us a bit about yourself, Dad.

Well, as they say, we have a family business. We have sunbed shops.

We provide sunshine and vitamin D to the North West.

Lovely. Well, listen, I wish you all the best of luck.

Let's welcome the Dunn family, everybody!

As we say hello to the Phillips!

Hello, Mum! Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I'm a staff nurse, in an intensive care unit.

OK, lovely. What do you do for a living, Michelle?

-Well, I also do the tributes.

-You do as well? What do you do, then?

A bit of Pussycat Dolls, a bit of Girls Aloud.

So are you going to do the Pussycat Dolls?

-Yeah, I will, I will.

-Ready? Do your thing.

# Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?

# Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?

-# Don't cha? #

-SHE HUMS HOOK FROM SONG

CHEERING

I don't know what game that's going to come in useful with.

Well, it might do, you never know!

Jason also does a tribute act, OK?

He's actually part of a Village People tribute act.

LAUGHTER

For 16 years!

For 16 years, he's played a construction worker.

No, I've had promotion.

-What are you now?

-I'm the US cop!

No, you're not, you're not!

Well, listen, welcome the Phillips to the show!

Oh, we've got two great families tonight.

Lots of fun, lots of physical and mental challenges.

Now, guys, listen. The rules are very, very simple, OK?

Be as fast as you can over five challenges.

The fastest family at the end of the show tonight

will go to our endgame, where you could potentially win £20,000.

-ALL:

-Ooh!

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.

On the hearing the trigger,

both balloons will be simultaneously popped.

As they fall, they are faced with

five reaction buttons on the mat below.

One of these buttons will light up.

First to hit it wins a point for their team.

So, get into your huddles, have a little chat,

and I'll come and talk to you in a second.

As always on Reflex, everyone will need to play

one of the first three challenges,

but the burning question on my lips is, which tribute act will go first?

Will it be Kylie? The Pussycat Doll?

The Village People person?

What sort of show is this, a cheap celebrity version?!

They're looking over our way. They don't want to go with me...

I think they think we're going to pick you.

-You have to kind of fall and then quickly react.

-Yeah.

-So I think you can get up quicker.

-I think I can get up quicker.

When you fall, you might fall down and fall asleep.

I know, yeah. That's true, yeah!

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

here they come back, my two tribute bands. Right!

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

Will you please step forward?

Oh!

-Guys, good luck. Let's go play!

-Woo!

So it's Andrew for the Dunns.

I think he's in a tribute act, too.

This sunbed technician

is also pretty sporty,

playing cricket, tennis and baseball.

Pussycat girl Michelle

is the same height as Andrew,

but as we saw earlier,

she's pretty agile.

That might just give her the edge.

MUSIC: "We Have All The Time In The World" by Louis Armstrong

This might look like a bit of a chillax for tonight's

first two players, but in a few moments,

the calm will be ended rather abruptly,

when these two massive balloons explode,

sending Andrew and Michelle plummeting back to Earth.

From there, the fastest player to scramble for

the correct reaction button will win tonight's first point.

APPLAUSE

Right, Andrew, Michelle, are you all right up there?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-Lovely.

-Looks like you've got a big boil on your chin!

-Oh, yeah!

Right, let's play!

They can just take a moment to reflect now.

Michelle probably starting to realise that she did actually

do that dance on national TV.

Andrew is a sunbed technician,

so he'll be used to lying face-down on a hot yellow thing.

SIZZLING In fact,

I think the lights are reflecting off that balloon.

This is no time for tanning!

Anybody else smell burning?!

Any moment now, there's going to be a very loud bang,

so you may want to put down any hot drinks you might be holding.

Any second now.

Bang! And those balloons have totally disintegrated,

leaving a Phillips and a Dunn in mid-air!

Come on, you two! I haven't got all night!

Ah, that's better!

So, they're both starting their descent, finally,

and it's the first to get to that button.

Michelle is an ex-gymnast, and THAT is the posture of a professional!

Andrew's adopting the textbook starfish fall position.

I think his left hand is going to land

somewhere near that reaction button.

And Andrew has landed first.

But Michelle seems closer to that button.

Left hand up.

What's going on? He's using the wrong hand!

Michelle's overshot the button. But look, she's changing direction!

Amazing!

This is down to the wire, it's so close!

But Michelle has done it!

And here comes Andrew,

unbelievably, just under one-tenth of a second behind.

Oh! Michelle wins for the Phillips!

MUSIC: "Pop Muzik" by M

It all started so well for Andrew.

He landed first, but decided

to use the arm furthest away from the button.

Michelle seized the moment and beat him

by the smallest of margins.

Ah, well done!

Come on, guys. In you come.

-Well done, buddy. Commiserations. Hard luck there.

-Well done!

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

The maths boffins have done

some number crunching

and have told me that,

after one game, it's 1-0.

Well done, the Phillips!

It's still early days, it's still only the beginning of the show.

You've got a long journey to go on.

On to challenge two now.

You've got to decide who's going to play this game.

Oh, wait till you see this.

Each chosen player faces a five-piece Reflex drum kit.

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

The players must follow the sequence

by hitting each drum correctly.

The player to complete the sequence first

wins the point for their family.

So get in your huddles, have a little chat,

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

I think they're going to be quite fast.

Like, "tsh-tsh-tsh", not like, one flash, one flash...

-So who's the best at playing the drums?

-Hmmm. Who do you think?

-(I should go.)

-Yeah, I think if you go on this one...

-Your speed is very good.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-You're very quick.

-I think I could be quite fast.

-OK, do you want to have a go?

-Yeah, I'll have a go.

-You sure?

-Yeah. What do you think?

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

Oh, I've heard some fighting talk going on, on challenge number two!

Let's find out who's going to play.

Please step forward!

So it's intensive care nurse Karen

for the Phillips. She once sang

the Welsh national anthem

in front of a packed football stadium,

so she's brave, and she has rhythm. Nice!

And after her brother lost the first game,

Kylie tribute act Sarah will be hoping that

she can be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky!

Sorry!

Ladies, are you ready?

-Yeah!

-Yep!

OK, let's play.

This is all about hand-eye co-ordination,

speed and raw, unadulterated rhythm.

Karen and Sarah will see

one of those five sand-filled drums light up.

The first to bash 20 the fastest will be adorned

with the coveted Reflex Massive Drummer Trophy.

PHONE RINGS Oh, excuse me.

Eh?! LINE GOES DEAD

Oh, I've just been told there's no trophy

but the quickest will win a point, and with the Dunns 1-0 down,

I'm sure they'd rather that than some useless silverware.

Here goes.

And the blue drum is the first to light up.

Sarah's straight in there.

Look at that sand! And for

the older viewers, good news - it's Ultravox!

Karen is lagging behind.

But there she goes!

Now for the second one, and it's the pink!

Look at that, Karen's right in there.

I don't think Sarah's even seen it!

MUSIC: "Vienna" by Ultravox

Next smash goes to Karen.

Both finding their rhythm now.

This is good!

SQUEAKING

That's not!

Karen's hit a bum note -

that's rhythm failure.

That's better!

No problem with her rhythm.

I think Karen's getting back on track.

Reaching the halfway point now, this is neck-and-neck.

But don't forget, it's the first to 20.

And what a display of drummery from both of them!

Is drummery a word? Who cares?!

STIRRING OPERATIC MARCH

This is majestic!

They're both bashing away like

it's the Last Night of the Proms!

I think Karen's just ahead.

Andrew's trying some air drumming to help Sarah.

But it might be in vain.

Because Karen is just two away.

One more!

Bosh! Karen has done it, and the Phillips are cock-a-hoop!

But what's this? Showboating?!

Someone tell her she's already won!

# This means nothing to me... #

It should mean something to her.

She's just bagged another point

for the Phillips!

Karen's won it!

Wow!

# ..Oh, Vienna! #

Well done!

So let's see how that's affected our scores!

So it's 2-0 to the Phillips,

which is a worry,

because my pre-show wager

was on the Dunns.

But I'm sure they'll come good later.

So, anyway, you're still all right.

Right, one more challenge, OK? Before we double up, OK?

-Guys, you need this point, all right?

-We do. No pressure, Dad!

Let's have a look at challenge number three.

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 the heat.

First to win two heats will take the point for their family.

And as the other two family members have already competed,

it's a duel between Michael, for the Dunns, and Jason, for the Phillips.

-Good luck, buddy.

-Oh, thanks.

This will be the battle of the ages. Youth versus experience!

You need this one. Gentlemen, good luck. Let's go play!

No pressure!

Jason, our Village People tribute act,

also skis and plays American football.

Michael, on the other hand,

likes doing crosswords.

I don't need to spell out whose side I'm taking!

Come on, Michael, I've got a lot riding on you!

In a few moments, Michael and Jason

will have their reactions tested to breaking-point.

Nine bottles will be released

and the first player to smash the last one standing will win the heat.

Don't forget, fellas, it's the best of three.

Good luck to you both. Let's play.

The weight of expectation is hanging on Michael now.

Can this sunbed company owner

be the quickest to the bottle over the three heats?

He certainly needs to pull one back for the Dunns.

Or can Village People tribute act

Jason prove that age can beat experience,

and notch up yet another win for the Phillips?

Right, here's the serious bit - don't try this at home, kids.

Now the tense bit.

And I've been told I have to speak quietly.

So here goes...

(Heat one.)

And they're off!

Bottle two is left standing and up come the arms.

Who will swipe the quickest?

Both locking onto their target.

But Jason is slightly closer.

Here comes that mallet!

And there goes that mallet. He'll need to make a pretty fast recovery.

Michael's turn now.

That mallet hurtling towards its target like a heat-seeking missile.

Yeah, come on, Michael!

I don't believe it! He's missed too!

And Jason has seized his moment.

Smashing! He's done it!

The Dunns look on in disbelief.

But safe to say the Phillips are pretty pleased

with Jason's mallet work.

It's best of three, but first blood

goes to the Phillips.

-I'm going to need a bigger mallet!

-OK.

Now for the second heat. If Jason gets to this bottle first,

the Phillips will win the point

and the Dunns will be 3-0 down.

Come on, Michael!

-HE EXHALES

-We need this one,

-all right, Michael?

-Pressure's on, mate.

All right, buddy, we need it. Try and get this point.

-So, heat two, let's play!

-Come on!

-Come on, Dad!

He's got to dig deep and focus now,

but Jason is a formidable bottle-smasher.

Here goes...

Whoa! Michael has seen bottle eight

first. Lightning reactions!

Jason hasn't even moved yet.

This is it, folks! Here comes that Dunn comeback!

Hang on, he appears to be going for an imaginary bottle!

Oh, no! What's happening?!

And here comes Jason. Oh, there's a clash of mallets!

Tinkle! Jason has walloped

that bottle into the stratosphere!

And Michael's still chasing shadows!

The Dunns can't believe it. It's two heats to nil. No need for a third.

I loved that! Well, luckily,

I've just knocked together a self-indulgent replay package

with some relaxing, and mildly emotive music.

SOOTHING PIANO MUSIC

Aw, that's beautiful!

I think I'll just watch and not say much.

Mmm! It's like a massage for the eyeballs.

Anyway, where was I?

Oh, yeah. '70s disco tribute boy Jason

has secured yet another Phillips victory.

MUSIC: "YMCA" by Village People

# It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A... #

And they're doing that dance. Yay! What a party!

"YMCA" SLOWS TO A HALT

Dunns not really in the party mood, there.

Well done, guys!

Michael... Oh! Join your family.

-APPLAUSE

-I can tell you right now...

the quickest off the mark

-was you, sir!

-Oh, why, thank you!

-How about that? But sadly, your aim at the end...

-I know, I know.

Twice, you just went past it.

Once them bottles disappear, it's just a flash,

it's just a flash. You don't see it, really.

So, erm... Obviously!

Right, families, after all that excitement,

let's see how that result has affected the scores!

The Phillips are in danger of

receiving wind-burn. It's 3-0.

And I'm in real danger of

losing that wager.

Come on, the Dunns!

Now, guys, come on. We need this next challenge.

-You've got to come back on this one.

-Bring it!

This challenge is very different, OK?

Not only are you going to play in pairs,

you're going to score two points,

should your family win this. So it's important who you choose to play.

Who's going to get left behind? Oh...

You've got a big decision to make on this one.

Let's have a look at challenge four.

Both pairs must work together,

as random jets of water are fired from the floor.

Catching the water in cups,

the players must fill a collection tank fitted with a float.

First team to fill and displace the float from their tank

will win two points.

That's challenge number four, OK? So you double up,

you double the points. This is about working closely with

a member of your family. All-important.

-Playing for two points. Guys, you need this.

-We do. We need it.

Get in your huddle, have a chat, find out who's going to play

challenge number four.

(What are we thinking?)

I want to do it. I mean, we've got to get some points back here.

And I'm sort of in the zone at the moment. I want to take it.

Obviously, I want to do it, but if you two want to...

-You do it, then.

-No, no, no.

-No, I'd rather...

-I don't want to do everything.

-No, you go. Jase...

So, three points in the lead. Are you getting

-a bit complacent now?

-No.

-No.

-Can you take your foot off the gas?

-No.

Anything could happen in the last couple of games,

-so we're not being too optimistic.

-How do you feel about this game?

-It's the most we've had to confer.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Dunns, come here. You know you need these two points.

-Oh, we do!

-We do.

-Desperate.

You know, reaction showdown.

You kind of don't want to be five behind.

No. We've decided, because

they kind of work together,

they're going to have that kind of, you know, "To me, to you!"

-Like the Chuckle Brothers?

-Yeah, like the Chuckle Brothers!

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

hopefully, you've made a decision on who's going to play

and who's going to get left behind. Let's find out.

The two players, please step forward!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Oh!

Oh! Guys, let's go play.

So, it's father-and-son team Michael and Andrew

against married couple Jason and Michelle.

Right! Are you happy to be left behind?

Because I reckon you'd have been great in this.

Well, thanks. But, no, I'll let the boys do it.

-OK. What are you thinking, Mum?

-Erm, I dunno.

As long as they don't have any domestic up there...

Right, well, there's two points at stake!

And, boy, do those Dunns need some points!

When the game starts, they'll need to work as a team

to catch the water as quickly as possible.

The first to displace the float will win those two all-important points.

Andrew psyching out the opposition.

-Families, are you ready?

-Woo!

OK, let's play.

BLUEGRASS BANJO

Here comes that water, each jet firing a one-litre salvo.

And that just looks like chaos!

And I don't do chaos!

MUSIC SLOWS AND SPOOLS BACK

MUSIC: "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Disney's Fantasia

That's better. It does look sort of magical, doesn't it?

It is actually quite difficult to catch that water.

Michelle and Jason going for the same jet. That will slow them down.

Now for the Dunns. What was that?!

BLUEGRASS MUSIC

Oh, dear. Andrew completely missed

the collection tank.

Michelle's getting some splash-back.

But look at the sheer focus on Jason's face!

The Phillips are slightly ahead.

-"THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE" RESUMES

-Go, catch it, go!

But the Dunns can do this.

Look at them! They want this so badly.

Oh, no! Michael's catching Andrew's water jet. That will not help!

Oh, come on, come on, come on!

Meanwhile, the Phillips seem to have sorted out their earlier wobble.

That's a married couple working in perfect unison.

My missus would be useless at this.

PHONE RINGS Excuse me. ..Hello?

Oh, hi, darling...

Of course not, darling, sorry.

Didn't realise you were watching. LINE GOES DEAD

Sorry about that, I'm back.

Really need to turn my phone off at work!

Married harmony restored, and the Phillips are just ahead.

All the Dunns need now is some impeccable water catching.

Trouble is, Michael's impeccably catching his own son's water.

That's no good.

Oh, dear! Looks like the father-son combo

is losing out to the married couple.

And the Phillips are pulling ahead!

Come on, the Dunns!

You need to start catching some water!

In the cup! Not on your back!

Oh, dear. Oh, that's embarrassing.

In the cup, Andrew!

Yes, the cup!

And the Phillips have nearly filled it.

They're surely one cup away from

what's starting to look like a series whitewash!

There goes Michelle.

And well done, the Phillips!

Michelle there, with her understated Pussycat Doll celebration.

Who cares? It's 5-0!

Oh!

Well done! Wow!

What a game, what a game!

I think we know how that's affected our scores,

but let's just have a little double-check.

Well, Shane, it's affected the scores like this.

HE CLEARS THROAT

5-0.

But the Dunns can come back from this. Yes, they can!

So we've reached a 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!

So let's bring on the families!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

There is a big lead going on. As you know, it's five to the Phillips.

You guys, you've yet to get off the mark. It can be done.

The first family to reach ten will go through to

the Moneyball game, and a possible chance of winning £20,000.

CHEERING

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 play Moneyball and win a possible £20,000.

Here we go. Let's play Reaction Showdown.

Push the button when the wrong number appears

in the numerical sequence. Let's play.

So it's the first to spot the wrong number in a simple countdown,

but, as we know, this game is won

or lost in fractions of a second.

Jason's got there first!

And Michael was only two hundredths of a second behind.

That is heartbreaking!

No!

Which means the score is 6-0 to the Phillips.

Question number two. Push the button when it's eight o'clock.

So they're looking for eight o'clock.

The Dunns are going to have to pull off something truly remarkable

to come back at this late stage. But it can be done.

But what's this?

Michelle has given a point away!

The Dunns have got one!

Amazing scenes here!

They're in disbelief! So am I!

It's 6-1, and the Phillips got the point for them,

but who cares? It's a point!

They didn't do anything, but we're going to

carry on with this question. Remember, we're looking for

eight o'clock. Let's play.

Still looking for eight o'clock.

That's Karen's flinch. It's 6-2!

Yes! This is it, folks, the moment we've all been waiting for!

Could this be the biggest comeback in Reflex history?!

-Oh, it's another point...

-Yes!

-..to the Dunns!

-Woo-hoo!

You're up and running now, guys, but we're still on this question.

The question is - when it's eight o'clock!

LAUGHTER

Play on.

Unbelievably, they're STILL

looking for eight o'clock.

Oh, no! Andrew flinches!

It's 7-2 to the Phillips.

Who would have thought that telling the time could prove so difficult?

THEY GROAN

So you've given a point away!

Seven to the Phillips, two to the Dunns,

three points away, guys, you know that. Come on.

Don't forget, push the button when it's eight o'clock. Play on.

It actually will be eight o'clock in a minute!

That's Karen, and Sarah.

There's your answer,

it goes to Karen!

And Karen just beats Sarah by a fraction of a second.

The Dunns are just two away from leaving the competition.

But they can still do this!

Right, let's have a little breather.

We're all in the zone? We're all back in? OK.

Right, question number three.

Push the button when you see a cat amongst the pigeons.

Let's play.

A cat amongst the pigeons.

A small moment of light relief in an otherwise edge-of-the-seat question.

First off the mark there is Karen!

That's Karen again! She's on fire! It's 9-2!

Wow. Guys, you're on the brink now.

So this is it. The Dunns can still stage a comeback -

if they've got the quickest reactions for the next nine questions.

In fact, it's starting to look unlikely, isn't it?

The Phillips are one point away from tonight's final.

Push the button when you see a palindrome,

that's a word which reads the same backwards and forwards,

like the word "radar", for example, OK?

This could be a really important question. Let's play.

So this could all end with a palindrome.

That's Karen again,

and the Phillips have done it!

I can't say I'm surprised!

They've been an unstoppable juggernaut of a family all night.

Well done, the Phillips!

Right, this show no longer holds any interest for me, I've lost my wager.

PHONE RINGS Oh, hold on. ..Hello?

What do you mean, I'm contractually obliged to stay till the end?

Oh, all right... On with the show!

Can I just say - single-handedly, your mum

has brought you to the Moneyball.

Listen, good luck with everything you do.

It's been an absolute pleasure meeting you.

Haven't they been a wonderful family? The Dunns. Thank you, guys!

All the best!

And you've got to give it to the Dunn family.

They were runners-up in Showdown.

They came second, trying to catch water.

They got the silver in the bottle smash.

They were just pipped to the post bashing the drums.

And they just missed out in the balloon pop.

In fact, to be honest, they lost everything.

But they'll always be winners in my eyes.

Well done, the Dunns. You done good...ish!

Michelle, Jason and Karen. Credit where it's due, guys.

You won the first three challenges

and the Dunns had a chance when you doubled up,

but you ran away with them, then two points again.

You went to a showdown and, thanks to you, Mum, tore away.

So now we're here. The final. The endgame. The Moneyball game.

The chance for one of you to go back to Wales as a hero, OK?

-Do you want to know what you've got to do to win it?

-Yes, please.

This is Moneyball. Take a 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. This time, they need to avoid them,

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.

Now, this, of course, no need to say, is physical. OK?

Who's going to go on the podium and play Moneyball?

I'll leave it with you lot.

I think straightaway, you would think, "Oh, he's the tallest,

"he's got the biggest range." That's great for the green balls...

-Yeah.

-..but it's a disadvantage for the red ones, isn't it?

-Not really.

-I don't want you to overstretch and fall off the podium!

-Thanks for the confidence!

-I think, athletic-wise,

-you'd be the best to do it.

-You're the most agile,

-you can do things most people can't do!

-Yeah, but I am clumsy.

I might fall off the podium!

-I think Jason, perhaps.

-OK, I'm happy with that.

-So...

-We're putting it all on Jason, Shane.

-Well, there's a surprise!

Thanks!

-Jason, it's up to you, mate, to go and represent the family...

-Oh, yes.

-..and hopefully go back to Wales with a few quid.

-Come on!

Let's hear it for Jason!

Come on, buddy...

So, Jason has bitten the bullet.

He proved his credentials smashing bottles and catching water.

But can he keep that winning streak alive all the way to the end?

That's it. Up you get, right.

Whoa, looking good up there, pal!

Right, Jason, it's phase one of the Moneyball game.

You're in the cross-hairs of three high-speed ball cannons.

15 green balls will randomly be fired in your direction.

It's important to make contact with as many as you can.

Doesn't matter what part of the body it hits,

that will count as a point.

For every ball you hit, there's a point to be had.

Should you fall off the podium, we deduct a point.

-Rooting for him?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Nervous?

-Yes.

-Come on, Jase, you can do it!

-You can do this, Jase.

-Come on.

-All right. Ready, buddy?

-All ready.

-Let's play.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It's been a pretty smooth ride for the Phillips all night.

But this is where everything could change.

Jason needs to make contact with as many balls as possible.

So, here goes.

They'll start firing from any direction.

He missed it!

- Focus, babe. - Yes, focus!

Come on, Jason!

Oh, no! He's focusing in the wrong direction!

The part-time model is frozen to the spot.

Is it fear, or some sort of pose?

Either way, he's missing balls here. Come on, Jason!

Wife Michelle and mum Karen look worried.

And Jason's just looking. Maybe he's got vertigo.

He's got to find something special, after such a bad start.

Oh, this is better, he's seen it.

Off the arm! Yes!

Everyone rooting for Jason here!

And off the knee!

Missed that one, but I'm starting to feel better about this.

And so is Jason, I think!

That not-looking thing is starting to pay off. That's one off the bum!

Little nugget for all you green ball fans.

Each 20cm, hi-tech, high-spec ball is individually crafted using...

Well, it's just foam, really.

But Jason is loving every single one of them!

He's turned himself into a green ball magnet. This is a joy to watch!

Here come two, traditionally known as a double whammy!

Oh, just missed that first one.

But no problems with the second.

Just one more to go.

Oh, yeah! What an amazing recovery from the Phillips' torch-bearer.

Right...

At the end of phase one, you have scored...

-..nine points.

-Yes!

So, confirmation of Jason's nine strikes.

He seemed to freeze on the spot at first, missing nearly everything,

but what a recovery!

But it's the really scary round next.

How good will he be when the reds start to fly?

Now it's phase two.

We're going to fire 15 red balls in your direction

and it's important you make contact with none of them, OK?

For every red ball that hits you,

we'll deduct one of the green points.

But if you've got at least one green point remaining,

then we unlock £10,000.

-All right, Jase?

-OK.

-Let's play!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Come on, Jase!

Jason is on the brink of either winning or throwing away £10,000.

I hope it's the first one!

And he avoids that first red with ease. Family right behind him.

He's moving well. Did that touch him? I'm not sure.

At least he's not frozen any more.

This is the real test. Here come two at once.

A double-salvo whammy.

I think he's just missed the first.

Definitely didn't miss that tummy-tickler.

This is relentless! Here come another two!

Oh, he's standing right on the edge of that podium!

Bosh! Careful, Jason. Many have fallen here.

If he does, he'll be losing a point.

He's playing a dangerous game, teetering on the edge.

That is a great recovery!

No let-up from the red storm. Ouch!

He's on the edge again!

I can't look! How is he staying on that podium?!

That looks like he's front-loaded his trainers with cement. Obviously not!

Now, that takes some serious skill.

Oh, it's like he's performing some sort of ballet routine!

And that is an exquisite pirouette.

This is just wonderful to watch!

Which move will he try? Will it be the glissade,

or maybe a grand plie?

Neither! it almost smacked him in the nutcrackers!

He's still doing remarkably well, though.

Come on, Jason! Just a few more to go!

Oh, and they're all coming at once! One...

Two...

Buckle my shoe!

What am I talking about?!

That didn't end well.

I'm not sure if he's done enough, but whatever the outcome,

surely Jason has done his family proud here!

Come and stand here, my friend.

Well done.

-How are you feeling? It's tough up there, innit?

-They come fast.

Right, phase one. Green balls.

Hit by nine, so nine or more red balls

and, sadly, we go home with nothing.

So how do you think you did in the red phase?

I don't think I did very well.

You got eight, you've got ten grand!

THEY SCREAM

So, confirmation there of Jason's eight strikes.

A narrow victory, indeed,

but a victory nevertheless.

Well done, Jason!

Listen. Quite happy to walk away now?

£10,000. It's a lot of money.

But the game isn't over. We can double that.

We can double that with one ball.

The Goldenball challenge. If you accept it,

I'll ask you to go back on the podium. One ball

will be fired in your direction.

Should you touch it - any part of your body -

we will double that 10,000 to 20,000. Should you miss it...

-Go home with nothing.

-..then you go home with nothing.

Standing in the cross hairs one last time,

Jason will face one golden ball. But this time, it's different.

He will have to take a leap of faith to make contact with it.

In doing so, he could double his family's winnings.

But if he misses, the Phillips will leave with nothing.

APPLAUSE

And this is one last family decision you're going to make.

So, listen, you guys, have a little chat about it.

-I think that's a lot of money.

-It's a lot of money.

AUDIENCE SHOUTS ENCOURAGEMENT

SHOUTING DROWNS OUT SPEECH

All right, it's not your money, though, is it?!

-Jase, if you miss that ball...

-Honestly, Jase...

-If I make it...

-No. But you can't think like that,

because you might not. We've got £10,000.

But just think how far I can reach.

You've got five grand, we've got two and a half. I'm happy, you know?

-£10,000 is a lot.

-You think how I could jump all the way over there.

But how do you know? It might shoot out quickly before you even react.

Like, when you were trying to get them, you missed the first one.

-I know.

-I feel the... You're being torn here, aren't you, mate?

Well, I'm saying yes, they're saying no!

We're the wise ones! He's the gambler!

-Yeah, Jason's always been a bit of a gambler and wants to...

-Take risks.

But... I don't know.

What are we going to decide? I think you need to say.

Listen, Jason's the one that's got to stand up there...

-He does, yeah.

-..and go for it.

-I just don't think

it's worth risking that money.

-No, I don't either.

-I'm sorry, we're going to keep the money!

-Yes!

£10,000! Yeah!

Get in there!

They put in an incredible effort all night.

Game after game.

They won everything!

They even look amazing in reverse!

Well done, the Phillips!

My heart's pounding! I thought he was going to go for it.

I'm kind of glad he didn't. But join us next time.

Who knows what'll happen on Reflex?

Take care, everybody. See you soon. Bye-bye!

APPLAUSE
