0:01:51 > 0:01:54this dog could do anything.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And here we are in the final, and anything could happen.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Do you think it's still in you, that whole competitive thing?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02There's got to be something, yeah. I don't know.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05It's all about our dogs, it's not really what we do.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I do feel as if I've really got to know her,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and I think she likes me, really likes me now.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- And I really like her, so that's good.- That's lucky.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Would you like to introduce us to your team-mates, please?- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17We have Tom and the lovely Tara.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21APPLAUSE
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I know you're all used to winning rosettes for your dogs.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25But I hope this is something special.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I'm so proud of my little dog for doing what she's done so far.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I never expected this much from her.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- She's just given and given. Yeah, fantastic.- You're quite emotional.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I can't believe everyone's getting quite emotional about all this.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Lovely to see you back here for the final.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43And Nicci and Leo. Nicci, as we've said every time you've been on,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44- you really want to win this. - NICCI LAUGHS

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- So, as I said, Gail...- Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- ..two Olympians in the final. - I know, it's quite funny.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32The funniest thing is I remember watching Sally,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- when I was 15, so I can't believe it.- Here we are.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Who'd have thought we'd compete against each other with our dogs?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Which is quite funny, really.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Would you like to introduce your team, please?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46We have the incredible Ian, with magnificent Maysie.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50And we were struggling with the J, so we came up with jazzy Jeff.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And brilliant Buzz! Yay!
0:03:53 > 0:03:54CHEERING
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Oh, Ian, the smiling man,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59back for the final.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01LAUGHTER
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- She wants that ball.- I know. - Go on, let her have it to play with.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09There! For once, she gets it. There we go.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- So, what does this mean...? - GABY LAUGHS
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- What does this mean to you to be in the final?- Just to get here,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm extremely happy with that. And she's very happy as well.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20She is very happy. I wish you the very best of luck.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Let's talk now to Jeff and Buzz. - Hi.- Hello, how are you?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Fine, thank you.- What does this mean, would you like to win?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Yeah, of course I'd like to win. He's a super-talented dog.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Sometimes he's held up by me, who's getting older and slower.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34What are you talking about? You're not old at all.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- My kids tell me I'm old every day. I'm losing my hair.- Aw.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's what kids are for. Look at you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Is this a hug? - Yes, he has to give you a Buzz hug.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Thank you very much for my Buzz hug, I'm going to miss that, yes, I am.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I wish you the very best of luck for the final.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Thank you, let's hear it for Team Gail!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Now, our contenders are raring to go,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00so let's introduce the first challenge.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Team Sally decided to put forward Nicci and Leo.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And Team Gail have decided to put forward Ian and Maysie.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09They're going to need a steady hand and quick reactions.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's time to play Top Gun Dog.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Now, this is a game that not only tests the dog's ability to retrieve
0:05:22 > 0:05:25from water, but also the handler's shooting skills,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28as they try to rack up as many points as possible
0:05:28 > 0:05:30by firing a ball at the target.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Once the handler has fired, they wait for their dog
0:05:33 > 0:05:36to retrieve the ball before they can reload and fire again.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38As ever, they're up against the clock.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40So, Nicci and Leo, you're going first.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Would you like to get yourselves ready? Good luck.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44APPLAUSE
0:05:44 > 0:05:46So, for the last time,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49let's have a wave from Dave.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:52 > 0:05:54And give it some welly, Ellie!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:56 > 0:05:58OK, good luck to Nicci and Leo.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- Are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Good luck for the first game of the final.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05On your barks, get set, go.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Go!- So, kicking events off, it's Nicci and Border collie Leo.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Team Sally beat Team Louise in their semi,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15which secured their place in the final.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Drop it, drop. Leave it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Nice jump by Leo.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23And it looks like it was a bull's-eye from Nicci.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Go.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Go. - APPLAUSE
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Good boy!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Leo keeping his head above the water there.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Drop it, leave it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35The faster Leo gets the ball back to Nicci,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39the more opportunity to score points she'll have, before the time's up.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Lovely jump from Leo. He's using the ramp as a diving board.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Drop it, leave it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Leo and Nicci comfortably won both Pooch Puns in their heat
0:06:48 > 0:06:50and Buoy Zone in the semifinal.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53So we know that Leo is very comfortable in the water.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Come on! Yes, good boy!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Up the ramp, come on, Leo.- Leave it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ready? Go! Good boy.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Another great shot, Nicci pulling out all the stops for the final here.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And Leo's with her every paw paddle of the way.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Can Leo get back to Nicci in time to make this shot count?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It is going to be close. TIMER BEEPS
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Whoa, by the skin of his teeth, he made it. Very nice work, Leo.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Leo and Nicci once again showed amazing skill in the water game.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Lovely job.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Leo is obviously very happy.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Would you like to know how many you've scored?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Yes, please. - You did really well.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Congratulations, you got 90 points. - Oh!- Well done.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Ian and Maysie, to take the first game,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40you have to score over 90 points.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41- Are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44On your barks, get set, go.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Maysie, go fetch it.- Good shot!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49To win this round, they have to beat Nicci and Leo's 90 points
0:07:49 > 0:07:51within the time limit.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Hang on, what's happening? Maysie's left the poolside!
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- LAUGHTER - Maysie!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- OK, she's heading back up now. - Go fetch it. Good girl.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01And she's jumped.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Maysie seemed to lose her nerve there.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06But, luckily, she seems to have her head back in the game.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Good girl. Good girl.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Ian and Maysie lost vital time during her excursion there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13They'll have to seriously focus and work together as a team
0:08:13 > 0:08:15if they want to beat Nicci and Leo now.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Maysie, come back.- Team Gail triumphed over Team Jenny
0:08:18 > 0:08:21in their semi, propelling them straight into this spectacular final.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Good girl. Good girl. - In she goes at last.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26She has the ball, and she's heading back.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30We knew you had it in you, Maysie.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- OK, Ian needs to score some high points now.- Fetch it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Get back, get back. - Yes! Maysie straight in there now.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40These two won both Catch Of The Day in their heat
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and Buoy Zone in their semifinal. So Maysie no stranger to water games.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Fetch it!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Luckily, her earlier reticence to get her paws wet seems to have left her.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50A nice, clean retrieval there.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54They're running out of time, though. Will Ian attempt another shot?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Time. - TIMER BEEPS
0:08:56 > 0:08:57No, that's it, all over.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Maysie didn't want to take the plunge at first.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02In the end, she found her courage and put in a fine performance.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- APPLAUSE - OK, the results are in.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Now, the score to beat, of course, was 90.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Many congratulations, you did really, really well.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- You scored 80 points. - Well done, Nicci.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- AUDIENCE:- Aww!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19So, Team Sally win the first game.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Many congratulations to Team Sally.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Now, off you go, now, and get yourselves all dried off.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25APPLAUSE
0:09:25 > 0:09:29All series, we've been watching dogs jumping, catching,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31sitting, fetching and leaping in the water.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37But, for me, the best bit has always been the Wet Dog Shaggy Shake.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
0:09:41 > 0:09:44# Show 'em how we do it now
0:09:44 > 0:09:48# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- # Show 'em how we do it now. # - APPLAUSE
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Now, time for our second game of the evening
0:09:54 > 0:09:57with our celebrity team captains Sally and Gail,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and their dogs, Diggy and Raffa,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01stepping up to the plate, quite literally.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03All they have to do is place their dog
0:10:03 > 0:10:06on our very own Temptation Island,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09where they must stay for the duration of the game.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12However, the dog will face a barrage of distractions
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and temptations from the other team, to get them to leave the island.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Now, if they do leave the island,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20their owner will be in for a little surprise.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25The team who resists the most temptations are the winners.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Let's play Desert Island Sit.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Gail and Raffa, are you ready?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Wait.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39On your barks, get set, go.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41So, the first temptation is a tennis ball rolled by Sally.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Well done, Raffa.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Wait.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48That was a bigger ball. It's ended up on the island with him.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Raffa is unfazed, though.- Good boy.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Can he resist a dog toy?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Sally is going for the hard sell.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Wait, wait.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Good boy, good boy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Even the dog toy.- Wait, wait.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Raffa gets points for the team with every temptation he resists.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Will he resist the sausage?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Never did I think I'd see one Olympic hero trying to tempt
0:11:15 > 0:11:19the dog of another Olympic hero off a desert island with nothing more
0:11:19 > 0:11:22than a plate of sausages on a radio-controlled car.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26This is nail-biting stuff and truly feels like history in the making.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Wait.- Raffa has physically turned away from temptation there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31BUZZER
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Oh, time is up and Gail gets the surprise Gaby mentioned anyway.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Well, it is the final.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Gail, well done. You and Raffa scored six points.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Whoo!
0:11:41 > 0:11:42APPLAUSE
0:11:42 > 0:11:46OK, let's see if Diggy can do exactly the same.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Six is the maximum.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Stay.- On your barks, get set, go.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Stay.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57So, Gail is trying to distract Diggy by bouncing
0:11:57 > 0:11:58the ball before throwing it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And she's bounced it over. This is a new tactic.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Diggy hardly even blinked. She is good.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Oh, just a quick look, though.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09OK, here comes the big ball.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And you can hear Gail's frustration.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Diggy is so focused on Sally.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It's a Sport Relief toy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Stay. Stay.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Gail is following Sally's example by really selling this one to Diggy.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26She's having none of it, no reaction.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Look at that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I think Sally is hypnotising me as well.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Wow.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Diggy hasn't taken his eyes off Sally.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38There's absolutely nothing... I'm resorting...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40If this doesn't work...
0:12:40 > 0:12:41It's dog hypnosis.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Sausages, sausages.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Now, this is the true test of Diggy's resolve,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- the great British banger. - I love sausages.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Stay.- Look at that.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Stay.- Sausage.- Stay!
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Oh, a lick of the lips and she's on her feet. Is she going to go for it?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01No, Sally has kept her on the island with a well-timed titbit.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That's tactics for you.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05SALLY SCREAMS
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I think you actually hypnotised your dog.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09It was quite extraordinary to watch.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Congratulations, you've also got six points.- Thank you.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13APPLAUSE
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Which means that we've reached a tie-break situation.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20The question is for you two, please.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22The other team members, please keep very quiet.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Can we just test your squeaker?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25SQUEAKING
0:13:25 > 0:13:26And can we test yours?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27BUZZ
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Thank you very much. OK, I'm going to ask you a question with three possible answers.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Please don't squeak in until you've heard all three possible answers.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Which of these hound breeds hunt by sight rather than scent?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43A, beagle,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44B, bloodhound,
0:13:44 > 0:13:45C, whippet.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47SQUEAKING
0:13:47 > 0:13:48C, Whippet.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You're absolutely correct, you get the point.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53No idea.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Let's see what that does to the overall score.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59It's a draw, one game all.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Now it's time for game three, where
0:14:05 > 0:14:08we have our last two team members to play.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10For Team Sally, it's Tom and Tara
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and for Team Gail, we have Jeff and Buzz.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Now, this game is all about speed and retrieval.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Our handlers have to send their dogs hurtling into a shallow duck pond
0:14:21 > 0:14:23to retrieve as many ducks as possible.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27They'll receive one point for each duck returned over the line,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30but watch out for the rogue tennis ball.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Bringing home that impostor will be worth nothing at all.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Remember it's one game apiece,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38so it's all to play for.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Just building the pressure to get you really nervous.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44OK, let's get ready for Duck Pond Derby.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Tom and Tara. Tara obviously is very eager to play. You're up first.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Our dog and handler are in position. OK, you ready to go?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02On your barks, get set, go!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Yes, Gaby isn't wrong. The pressure really is on both teams here.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08They're currently neck and neck with one game each.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12And Tara's started well. That'll get them one point.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Away! Fetch!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Tom's directing Tara towards the pond. Another duck down.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Well done, Tara!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23To me! Come on, come on.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Tom must be feeling the pressure here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27They lost the Dog's Bowl challenge in their heat
0:15:27 > 0:15:28and only scored five points.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Luckily Tara seems more comfortable with duck ponds than bowling alleys.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36As a mountain rescue dog, Tara's more used to saving lives
0:15:36 > 0:15:39than chasing ducks, but she's doing just fine.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Away! Fetch! Good dog! Good dog!
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- Good dog! - She's doing really well!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And another. Now she just needs to give it back...
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Away! Fetch! Away!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Five seconds. - Can they get one more?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Go on! Good dog! Good dog! Good dog!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00TIMER BEEPS Oh, no!
0:16:00 > 0:16:01APPLAUSE
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Out of time. Well done.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06She loved that. She absolutely loved it.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Congratulations. You got four ducks.- Four ducks.- OK.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Jeff and Buzz, are you ready? - Yep, we're ready.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18You have four to beat to make this 2-1 up to go into the final.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I wish you the very best of luck. On your barks, get set, go!
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Jeff and Buzz are starting from an equal position to Tom and Tara.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27They also lost their round in their heat.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29We can already see Buzz is happy with this type of challenge.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31That's one point.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Buzz, go, fetch it!- Off he goes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Good boy! Good boy!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- That's another one.- Good boy.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41If they can get more ducks on the podium than Tom and Tara did
0:16:41 > 0:16:43before the time's up, they'll have won this
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and given their team a significant advantage in The Bark Off.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Go fetch!
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Every one of those ducks is a step closer to becoming top dog
0:16:51 > 0:16:52for Team Gail.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Nice one.- 30 seconds left.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Good boy! Go fetch it! Fetch it, fetch it, fetch it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Jeff tells us he loves competing with Border collie Buzz
0:17:01 > 0:17:03because they make such a great team.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Jeff's a dog trainer by trade
0:17:05 > 0:17:07and you can see he's done a tremendous job with Buzz.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08He's showing no hesitation.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And another duck! This is a fantastic round for these two.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Is he going to go for the ball? No, he's got the duck.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I can see why Jeff called him Buzz cos that's the feeling you get
0:17:20 > 0:17:22when you see him doing his thing. TIMER BEEPS
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Oh, my goodness me!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:25 > 0:17:29OK. So the scores are in. You managed four.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And I hope, Len, you don't mind me doing it like this.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34You scored sev-en!
0:17:34 > 0:17:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Many congratulations.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Well, that means that Team Gail are the winners.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43So let's see what that does to the overall score.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Congratulations, Team Gail. They're now in the lead by two games to one.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:51 > 0:17:53And that 2-1 lead of theirs will earn them
0:17:53 > 0:17:58a very handy time advantage in the last contest. So this is it.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02We've reached our final game of the series. One last hurdle.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06In fact, several of them, not to mention a tunnel and a ferry.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's the moment of destiny for our teams,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10but only one can emerge as the overall winner.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14It's time for the decider as we play The Bark Off.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:20 > 0:18:24So here we have the familiar Bark Off agility course
0:18:24 > 0:18:26with one last alteration.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The Giant's Causeway has been removed,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32so all dogs must attempt the weave poles.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35As ever, the course will be completed one dog at a time,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37and if an obstacle is refused or incorrectly cleared
0:18:37 > 0:18:39they'll hear this sound...
0:18:39 > 0:18:40BUZZER SOUNDS
0:18:40 > 0:18:42They will only get two attempts at each obstacle
0:18:42 > 0:18:44and they cannot move on until they hear this sound...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45BELL DINGS
0:18:45 > 0:18:48The team that completes the course in the fastest time
0:18:48 > 0:18:49will take overall victory
0:18:49 > 0:18:54and the coveted title of Sport Relief's Top Dog 2014.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Team Gail are in the lead,
0:18:55 > 0:18:59which means that Team Sally have the pressure of going first.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01And because they're lagging behind two games to one,
0:19:01 > 0:19:05they'll be starting their run with 15 seconds already
0:19:05 > 0:19:06added to the clock.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's the final roll of the dice,
0:19:08 > 0:19:13the last bite of the bone as we play The Bark Off.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:14 > 0:19:18Team Sally, for the final I wish you the very best of luck.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22On your barks, get set, go!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25And they're off! The final Bark Off of the series.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30- Nicci and Leo shooting across Tower Bridge.- Leo, come here!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33While Leo's going so fast he overshoots the roundabout,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35but a quick U-turn and he's back in position.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Sit.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39BELL DINGS
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Good boy!- Moving on over Sherwood Forest.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44No, he's missed the ferry.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- There you go, in he gets. - Stay there! Stay!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51And he hunkers down for the ride. He doesn't want to go overboard.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Now the Welsh train tunnel. Leo's done it again.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00He's dived straight over the balls in the tunnel. What a dog.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Weave! Weave!- What a weave! Unbe-weave-able!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Let's have one more look at that weave. Incredible.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- BELL DINGS - And off you go!
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Now Tom and Tara.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Team Sally labouring under a 15-second time penalty,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22so they'll be hoping to nail this run.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Oh, no! She's missed the Tube tunnel.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27OK, Tom's showing her the way.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But I think she's waiting for a train! Oh, that's more like it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35You can feel the tension here in the studio. The atmosphere is electric.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Tara isn't letting it affect her. She's staying well.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41BELL DINGS
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Great!- The jumps and onto the ferry.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45No, she's missed the Forest Jump.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Come on, Tara, this is the final, you know!- Well done, Tara.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Happily in the ferry.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Whoa!
0:20:55 > 0:20:59You can see how Tara remains calm despite the speed she's going.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Over the last two jumps.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09And they're done. BELL DINGS
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Sally, off you go.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Sally is starting fast. It's all down to her and Diggy now.- Come on!
0:21:16 > 0:21:17That's it! That's it!
0:21:17 > 0:21:19A slight delay on the Tube,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21but she's back on track for the Magic Roundabout.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Stay, sit. Stay. Stay.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Using her hypnosis again. - BELL DINGS
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Great stuff.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Off to the ferry now. Sally making sure Diggy's on board.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38BUZZER SOUNDS Oh, Diggy's dived off.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40One last chance to make the crossing.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay!
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- No, Diggy's had enough of the Mersey. - Time to move on through the tunnel.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Diggy always took the Giant's Causeway in the past,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54but in the final there's no easy option.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00- Oh, well done! Diggy's never done this before.- What's this?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02What's this? Come through here.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Not the most comfortable we've seen Diggy. Can they do it?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Last bit. Well done!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10No Diggy, no doubt! Good job!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Two jumps and then through John o'Groats.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Sally and Diggy lost some time for their team there,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18but they've done all they can.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23They finish The Bark Off.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28OK. That was really good. Well done.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Your final time for the final was 3 minutes 24 seconds.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Very well done.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Very well done.- Thank you.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Oh, I'm all of a flutter now. So you know the time that you have to beat.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I wish you the very best of luck, to Team Gail.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46On your barks, get set, go!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Now, Team Gail's Bark Off is kicked off by Jeff and Buzz.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Fast through the Tube and onto the roundabout.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- Sit. Wait. - Buzz sitting very nicely indeed.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59BELL DINGS
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Onwards now. Over the treetops of Sherwood.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Buzz truly sailed over the taller jump there
0:23:06 > 0:23:10and went straight for the first-class cabin on the ferry across the Mersey.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Sitting comfortably. Smooth cruising. Lovely.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Through the tunnel, both of them. - Buzz! Buzz! Here!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Jeff squeezing past the balls.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Buzz, Buzz, here!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Weave, weave, weave, weave, weave!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!
0:23:26 > 0:23:31Wow, indeed! Buzz can call himself a master weaver after that. Gorgeous!
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Round the flowerpot. And then over the jumps.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Two flying leaps and they're done.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40BELL DINGS
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Up next - Ian and Maysie.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Maysie went over Tower Bridge like a firework on New Year's Eve.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Oh, she's lost a little momentum through Barking Tube, but she's OK.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Ian uses his dog whistle to signal Maysie to sit and stay.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01BELL DINGS Done it!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Over Sherwood Jump and wow-ho-ho!- Whoa!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Maysie boarded the ferry
0:24:08 > 0:24:11so fast she knocked it halfway across the Mersey to Birkenhead.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Ian finishes the crossing for her.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Last two jumps.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Over the wall and over the bridge and they're done.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25BELL DINGS
0:24:25 > 0:24:28OK, here go our final Bark Off contestants of the series,
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Gail and Raffa.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken!
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken!
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Yes, Gail tempted Raffa across the bridge with the promise of poultry.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Good tactic.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Wait. Wait. Wait.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43The pressure of knowing that the whole competition comes down to
0:24:43 > 0:24:46this moment must be weighing heavily on the little dog's shoulders,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48but he shrugged it off and now for the smaller Sherwood Jump.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Up here! Up here!
0:24:51 > 0:24:52- RAFFA GROWLS - I know.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54A little protest from Raffa about getting a helping hand,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58but at this stage of the competition every second counts.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Through the tunnel.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03What's this? Chicken.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Those seconds are ticking away as they power through the tunnel.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Chicken! Chicken!
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Onto the weave.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12BUZZER SOUNDS
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh, come on, Raffa, this isn't the time to play games.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Nearly there!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Oh, the crowd's showing their appreciation. They're so close now.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Chicken! Whee!
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Over Hadrian's Wall. Oh, no! He's missed the Forth Bridge!
0:25:31 > 0:25:32This way, quickly!
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- Come back, Raffa!- Last jump! Come on!
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Here he comes. One last jump, Raffa.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Chicken! Chicken!- Yes!
0:25:41 > 0:25:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Oh, not far now! I'm on the edge of my seat!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49And they're through!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52That one little leap has just decided the competition,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57but which team is going to be awarded Sport Relief's Top Dog?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I have the trophy in my hand here.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06So the time to beat was 3 minutes and 24 seconds.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Now, I'll tell you...
0:26:09 > 0:26:16- ..you were doing fantastically until Raffa ran off.- Oh...
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Your time was very fast. How do you think your overall time was?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's very close. It's very, very close.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Don't know.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Gail?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Sorry. They were so fast. I know.
