0:02:21 > 0:02:23So for Team Louise, we have Captain Louise.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Hello, Louise.- Hello.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Lovely to see you at this time of day.- Thank you very much.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- It's nice actually. - I always wake up with you!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Now...in the nicest possible way! Now, introduce us to Holly
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- cos Holly's a little bit of a surprise to us.- She is.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Holly is in fact my niece's dog cos my lovely dog, Waffle,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41who is a golden Labrador,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43came into season two days ago.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I've known Holly since she was ten weeks old.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46She's absolutely lovely.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49She's very affectionate, quite obedient.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53My children have done some dog training with her
0:02:53 > 0:02:54but I've not.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, well, your perfect show, then!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Welcome, Team Captain Louise and Holly.- Thank you very much.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03APPLAUSE
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Hello, Matt.- Hello. - Now, Peppa does an incredible job.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Peppa's a fire investigation dog
0:03:09 > 0:03:13and we use her to search for traces of flammable liquid
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and ultimately help us find the arsonist.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19She's a little bit of a Scooby-Doo character but great fun.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- May I ask you something really ridiculous?- You can.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Do pointers really point?
0:03:23 > 0:03:24She only does it sporadically, now.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27But she does still point sometimes, yeah, which is...
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's always a nice photo opportunity.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, if we get one of those this evening, it'll be magnificent.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Let's hear it for Peppa! - APPLAUSE
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Hello, Christina.- Hello. - Now, tell us about Flyte.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Flyte is a blue and white Border collie.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43You don't see a lot of them in the UK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46She does a few activities, flyball agility, swimming...
0:03:46 > 0:03:49which is her favourite sport and she loves that.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51But you actually work her as well, don't you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yeah, she does a bit of sheep work
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and then obviously all the sports, as well.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59She's going to be doing something very special this evening, as well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Let's hear it for Flyte and Team Louise!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- So Team Martin... Of course Captain Martin.- Hey!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Hi, Gaby.- And look at this magnificent dog.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13This is Mylo the wonder dog.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15He is a seven-year-old golden retriever,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17one of two dogs, golden retrievers, that I've got.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19The other one's called Bagel.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So we had a real issue deciding who would actually be here today.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Now, is this true, that Mylo sings?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- You're putting him on the spot?! - Yeah.- Are you going to sing?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Are you going to sing?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- No! Oh, well.- Obviously not!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Let's hear it for the non-singing Mylo!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Hello, Sally.- Hi. - Now, this is Poppy.- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42And tell us about Poppy because again,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44she does an incredible job, don't you, Poppy?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Poppy's a six-year-old English springer spaniel
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and she's trained to look for missing people.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52We do search and rescue.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55So how do you train a dog to do that for lowland rescue?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58I just train to do general human scent.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01So we're in country environments, in the woods or fields,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04where there's not going to be many people at 3am.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07And they just have to go and find a human being.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Completely overwhelmed by the work that these amazing dogs do.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Thank you very much. Let's hear it for Poppy.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15APPLAUSE
0:05:15 > 0:05:16- Hello, Sam.- Hello.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Now, introduce me to your lovely dog.- This is Kai.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Kai is a four-year-old male Blue Merle Border collie.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Born in North Wales and raised in bonny Scotland.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- I couldn't tell by your accent, couldn't tell(!)- No, no(!)
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Now, this dog sort of, you know, gets the ladies, doesn't he?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37What does he do? Walk around with a rose in his mouth and sing?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- It's the wiggle in the bum.- OK.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And then he says, "Well, let me see YOU wiggle."
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And then they'll just wiggle.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- And they wiggle, just like that? - Yes.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Well, you're a very lovely dog. Let's hear it for Team Martin!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- BARKING AND WHINING - Our six hounds, as you can hear, are ready for action.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So let's get straight on with our first game which, as usual,
0:06:00 > 0:06:01takes place in the pool.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Each team has chosen their players.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Team Louise decided to put forward Christina and Flyte
0:06:06 > 0:06:11and celebrity team captain Martin is with his dog Mylo.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Let's get down to business and play New Balls Please.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- APPLAUSE - In this game, they throw, or should I say serve,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27a tennis ball into the pool, beyond the 3m service line.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Their dog must then swim out
0:06:29 > 0:06:31to collect the ball and bring it back.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34And then their handler can put it into the basket.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Keep it going till the time's up.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39The dog that returns the most balls wins the game.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Now, we flipped a coin to see who's going first.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- So Martin and Mylo, good luck. - OK. Thank you!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Off you go to get ready.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51As usual, our water experts are standing by in the pool.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Give us a wave, Dave!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54CHEERING
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Give it some welly, Ellie. - CHEERING
0:06:58 > 0:07:02OK, we all wish Martin and Mylo the very best of luck.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03- You ready?- Yes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07On your barks, get set, go.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08All Top Dog events
0:07:08 > 0:07:10have been designed to suit each of our furry friends
0:07:10 > 0:07:12and first up is Mylo.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15But he's not so sure he wants to get his feet wet.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17That's it, go on! Good boy!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Mylo's second time around and looking determined.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Oh, get both of them! - He's a bit greedy,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- he's going for two balls!- That's it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Mylo, forget about the second ball. Come on.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Now, the reason there are two balls in the pool
0:07:29 > 0:07:32is because Mylo really didn't fancy jumping in, first time.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Here we go!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Golden retrievers are very successful
0:07:35 > 0:07:38in a dog water event called dock jumping,
0:07:38 > 0:07:39and Mylo, on this performance,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42looks like he should sign up tomorrow.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Mylo's a big dog
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and this could count against him when trying to retrieve this ball.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54And on that jump, you can see he likes to keep his head dry.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- That's it, brilliant! - You've got 15 seconds.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Martin serves up a fourth ball
0:07:59 > 0:08:03but can this golden retriever go for gold and get back in time?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- You've got ten seconds! - Oh, come on!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Come on, come on, come on! - Oh, can he do it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Mylo really looks like he doesn't want to let Martin down.- Three, two,
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- one.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- BUZZER BEEPS - Oh, no, that's not going to count.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19You've got to give it that one!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- It wasn't in the basket and I'm very strict!- Ah!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- LAUGHTER - It's over, Mylo.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Mylo, it's finished.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Mylo loved this event so much he wanted to go in for more.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- You were really good.- You've got to give him that fourth ball.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I'm so sorry. I'm very bossy. It didn't reach the basket.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41No, only three balls but it was very good - three balls.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Rub up against her back legs. - Many congratulations.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47OK, let's see how Flyte now does.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Are you ready?- Yeah.- OK.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- On your barks...- Ready, ready, ready!- ..get set, go.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Go!
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Now, in this event,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57it's the most balls retrieved in the time allocated that wins.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Now, Flyte comes from a family of flyball competitive Border collies
0:09:01 > 0:09:03so it's in her blood to compete.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06And as a reminder, flyball is a sport for dogs.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Ready, ready, go!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15This time, Flyte goes into full flight to get this ball back.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yeah, good girl! Get it, get it,! Come on, come on!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Yes, good girl!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Ready, ready, ready...
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Go, go!
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Again, Flyte hits the dizzy heights as she glides through the air.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Yeah, good girl! Come on, come on, come on, come on!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's really important that Flyte can keep this momentum up
0:09:35 > 0:09:36so they can win.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Ready, ready, ready, go!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Now, if this Border collie sneaks this one in,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44she'll be bordering on victory.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- 15 seconds.- Come on!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Come on, come on. Come on, come on! Good girl!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Not content with what she has,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53it's time for one last splash in the pool, I think.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Flyte, come on! Come on, come on, Flyte!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Come on, Flyte!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- BUZZER BEEPS - Oh, good girl!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Yes, Flyte, in this event, really lived up to her name.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Well done! That was really good.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11OK, the results are in.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Now, Martin, well, don't look at me like that!
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- You had three balls. - Three and three quarters.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19And Christina... No, three!
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Christina, you and Flyte managed four balls!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- CHEERING - Many congratulations.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Which means that Team Louise have won the first round.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34CHEERING
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Off you go now and get yourselves dried off.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Now, I don't know about you but after all that excitement,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I need something to calm me down.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Something slow, subtle and that always makes me smile.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47You know what it is -
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Mylo and Flyte doing the wet dog shaggy shake.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Now, we love dogs on this show
0:11:07 > 0:11:10so we've recruited five highly-qualified experts
0:11:10 > 0:11:12to take care of them.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Reena Patel is our resident vet
0:11:14 > 0:11:17and senior clinician at her local practice.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Roy Dyer is our canine consultant.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23He's been training dogs for over 50 years.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Kristina Glover is a veterinary-approved
0:11:25 > 0:11:27pet behaviour counsellor.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30David Pugh trains dogs to swim and save lives.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34And alongside him is his apprentice, Ellie Bedford.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Now, let's move straight on to our second round.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Celebrity team captain Louise and her dog Holly
0:11:41 > 0:11:44are competing against Sam and Kai.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48This game is a real test of the bond between dog and handler.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Here we have a lazy Susan
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and we're going to spin it round
0:11:51 > 0:11:53so a series of red and blue bowls
0:11:53 > 0:11:57pass in front of the dogs' delicate noses.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Each bowl contains sausages but the owners must ensure
0:12:01 > 0:12:05their dogs only eat the sausage from the red bowls.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09The dog must resist the blue bowl for five seconds.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13It's one point for each bowl correctly avoided
0:12:13 > 0:12:14or correctly eaten.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17The team with the highest score at the end of the round wins.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the clash of the cloches
0:12:20 > 0:12:22as we play Take It Or Leave It.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32On your barks, get set, go.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Now, in this round, our canine amigos will score points
0:12:35 > 0:12:38if they eat from the red bowl and resist the blue.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44It's important the handlers can help the dogs tell the difference.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Oh, Holly, no, no!- Oh, and it's nose first into the bowl.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50No points scored.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Holly's a last-minute substitute for Louise's own dog
0:12:52 > 0:12:56so it's probably why this challenge is proving difficult.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Well done, good girl. - She scores from a red bowl.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh, my God. Holly, here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Oh, no, Holly, look at this.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Oh, it's blue.- Holly...oh!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06LAUGHTER
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Good girl.- Louise tries to fend Holly off.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Nothing's holding this dog from its food.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Look at her tail! - Again, another blue bowl.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Ah, it's red!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20It's meant to be in front of her for five seconds!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23But she still gets points for the red bowls.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Well done. There's none left, Holly.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Holly's apparently scared of vacuum cleaners
0:13:27 > 0:13:30but here she's hoovered up everything in sight.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Holly couldn't resist temptation
0:13:34 > 0:13:36but you did manage three points.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Well done!
0:13:37 > 0:13:42OK, here we go, on your barks, get set, go.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Good boy.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Good boy. Don't touch.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48No, naughty sweeties.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52And with a blue bowl first, he shows firm resistance and scores a point.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Kai! Good boy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Now, some say that dogs are colour-blind
0:13:56 > 0:13:58and there is some truth in this
0:13:58 > 0:14:01because they don't see red and blue as we do.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04But dogs have two different colour receptors in their eyes
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and CAN tell the difference between the two colours.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10So it's important the handlers identify to them
0:14:10 > 0:14:13which is the colour to avoid and which one to go for.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Blue bowl revealed, Kai's resistance will be key to winning.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Sit.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- PING! - Good boy!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Border collies are very good dogs to train
0:14:26 > 0:14:28and Kai is a great example of this.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Naughty sweeties!- Now, either Kai is a picky eater or the blue bowl,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- to him, is just a dog's dinner. - Good boy.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- PING! - Good boy!
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Well done.- Good boy, well done!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Well done! Super boy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42What is this?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46And finally, a treat from the red bowl. Perhaps a dessert!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Ready, get it! Good boy!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yes! Get it! Get it, get it, get it!
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Point scored.- Well done. Super lad.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Kai in this round has shown he can skip a snack
0:14:57 > 0:15:01and cements his place at the head of the table.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- BARKING - Now, as you may remember... Yes, I know,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- you want to know how many points you got.- Yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Six points! Well done!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- CHEERING - Good boy, well done.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13All of which means that at the end of our second round,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15both teams are level with one game each.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Now, all of tonight's contestants
0:15:21 > 0:15:23are here to support a really great cause.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28to enter an event at the Sport Relief Games.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30But there are all sorts of ways

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Right, now its time to play our third game,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28which demonstrates a canine's remarkable sense of smell
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and clever skills of detection.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Playing for Team Louise we have Matt and Peppa
0:16:33 > 0:16:36and for Team Martin we have Sally and Poppy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38So onto the rules.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Lurking somewhere in the garden are four balls
0:16:40 > 0:16:44that the dogs must dig out just by tracking the scent.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48The dog that finds all four balls in the fastest time
0:16:48 > 0:16:49will be the winner.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51So now, let's play Sherlock Bones!
0:16:57 > 0:16:58OK, Peppa is standing by.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01On your barks, get set, go!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04In this event they need to sniff out the ball amongst the leaves
0:17:04 > 0:17:06as quickly as possible.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Oh, no! Peppa seems to be leaving her own scent.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Hopefully, this isn't sabotage.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15OK. Toilet break out of the way.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Back on the job and she retrieves her first ball.- Next one!
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Peppa is a fire dog and she's been scent trained since 11 months.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27She's now five years old. This should be a walk in the park.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29That's her second ball.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30APPLAUSE
0:17:30 > 0:17:33This hound needs her investigation skills in full swing
0:17:33 > 0:17:35if she's to get more balls to win.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36She's cheering her on.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40In amongst the flowers and a well-trained nose
0:17:40 > 0:17:41finds another ball.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Good girl!- One more ball to find.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47This pet detective is making Sherlock Holmes
0:17:47 > 0:17:49look like an amateur.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50INDISTINCT
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Find, Peppa.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's her final ball to find. Where else would it be?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Good girl!- There it is. Dead on centre.- Well done!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Peppa celebrates in style.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Great detective work from our investigative fire dog.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Congratulations, Team Louise.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Your time was one minute 49 seconds.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Congratulations.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21OK. Poppy, you know what you have to beat.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Your team are cheering you on already.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26On your barks, get set, go.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Go on, find it. Quick, find it.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Find it. Where is it? Find it.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Like Peppa, Poppy is scent trained and is a search and rescue dog.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Where is it? Find it.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Bring it here.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41She's using her skills to full effect as she finds her first ball.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44This is looking a very good match-up so far.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Unlike humans, where we mostly use our eyes to make our way through
0:18:51 > 0:18:54everyday life, a dog mostly uses her nose.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Yes. Find it. Find it. Find it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Poppy seems to be on the case. She finds her next ball.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05They reckon that dogs can identify smells somewhere between
0:19:05 > 0:19:081,000 to 10,000 times better than us nasally-challenged humans.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Find it. Where is it? Find it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Good girl!
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Poppy keeps popping up with all the right answers
0:19:16 > 0:19:18as she sniffs that ball out.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23She can't smell anything there so moves to the other corner.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Can she find the lat ball?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Yep.- Good girl. Well done.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Poppy has revealed she's a match for Peppa
0:19:31 > 0:19:32when it comes to detective work.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Well... Now remember Peppa got one minute 49 seconds.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- But she did have to go to the loo, though.- It doesn't matter.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42It was one minute 49.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Would you like to know your time?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45No, not really.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- One minute...- Yes.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48..40..
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's got to beat it then.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51..seven.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53CHEERING
0:19:53 > 0:19:54One minute 47.
0:19:54 > 0:20:02The winner is Team Martin. Team Martin is now ahead 2-1.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06That 2-1 lead will earn them a time advantage in the final.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10It's showtime, people. It's time to play The Bark Off.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16CHEERING

0:20:24 > 0:20:26This is a relay race.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28The course will be completed one dog at a time.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32If an obstacle is refused or incorrectly cleared,

0:20:34 > 0:20:37They will only get two attempts at each obstacle.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39They cannot move on until they hear this sound...

0:20:43 > 0:20:46will take overall victory and be in with a chance of going through
0:20:46 > 0:20:48to the grand final.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Team Martin are in the lead, which means that Team Louise
0:20:52 > 0:20:54have the pressure of going first
0:20:54 > 0:20:56and because they're lagging behind,
0:20:56 > 0:21:03they'll be starting their run with 15 seconds added to the clock.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's time now to play The Bark Off.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Here we go. On your barks, get set, go.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13It's the quickest team around the course that wins the show.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Walk on. Walk on.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Flyte gets off to a flying start over Tower Bridge,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Peppa. Up.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06It's a good thing it's London Bridge that burnt down
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and not Tower or Peppa the fire dog may have had to stick around.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12On to Magic Roundabout.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48If you remember, Holly isn't Louise's dog.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51She is her niece's. If she can get Holly all the way round,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53it'll be an amazing performance.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Brilliant dog! Brilliant dog! Here you go. Go and get it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Holly is on her way down to the tube.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Oh, no! Looks like she's larking through Barking.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Good girl!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06There's no time to miss the tube in this game.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Good girl.- Louise is a Breakfast News journalist
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and she wants to make sure Holly doesn't put her on the front page
0:23:13 > 0:23:15for all the wrong reasons.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- In, in, in. - Apparently, Holly loves swimming.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06OK, he's changed his mind.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Ready to move on to land.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09APPLAUSE

0:26:00 > 0:26:03- And speeding over Tower Bridge. - Through here!
0:26:03 > 0:26:07It doesn't look like Mylo's one for travelling on the tube.
