0:01:030:01:07

It's time for our two teams to go head-to-head.

0:01:070:01:10

It's Sport Relief's Top Dog.

0:01:100:01:11

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:330:01:34

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Gaby Roslin.

0:01:340:01:37

Hello and welcome to Sport Relief's Top Dog -

0:01:410:01:43

the show where talented pets upstage their owners.

0:01:430:01:47

We'll be putting our four-legged friends through their paces

0:01:470:01:49

with a series of skilful challenges.

0:01:490:01:52

In tonight's show, our dogs will be ducking, diving, bringing

0:01:520:01:56

home the bacon and going for a cycle ride, all in aid of Sport Relief.

0:01:560:02:01

So that's the show, now let's meet our first team.

0:02:010:02:05

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:050:02:06

And for Team Charley we have Charley the captain.

0:02:070:02:10

-Captain Charley.

-Captain Charley.

0:02:110:02:13

Introduce us to Ziggy.

0:02:130:02:14

-Yeah, well, Ziggy is an English springer spaniel. He's 12.

-He's not.

0:02:140:02:19

He is. He looks a lot younger. Like his dad, a lot younger.

0:02:190:02:22

-Just like you.

-Just like me.

0:02:220:02:24

Does he ever get on the back of the bike with you?

0:02:240:02:26

He does sometimes, but he's not so keen on the bike thing.

0:02:260:02:30

Welcome, team captain Charley and Ziggy.

0:02:300:02:33

There we go.

0:02:330:02:34

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:340:02:35

Hello, Jenni.

0:02:360:02:38

Now tell us about this incredible dog Lillie.

0:02:380:02:41

Well, she's a demo dog on my lecture in animal behaviour,

0:02:410:02:44

so she helps to teach students how to look after dogs, basically.

0:02:440:02:47

-She's also a blood donor.

-She's a blood donor?

0:02:470:02:50

That's the thing.

0:02:500:02:52

Are there many dogs that do this?

0:02:520:02:54

There's a fair few, but they'd like more.

0:02:540:02:57

It's something that any dog can do as long as they're over 25kg.

0:02:570:03:00

Do they get a cup of tea and a biscuit afterwards?

0:03:000:03:02

They get a nice bowl of food and a nice bandanna to wear home.

0:03:020:03:05

Well, it's wonderful.

0:03:050:03:06

Thank you very much. What a good, good dog you are, Lillie.

0:03:060:03:09

Thank you for the lovely service that you do.

0:03:090:03:11

Thank you very much.

0:03:110:03:12

APPLAUSE

0:03:120:03:13

-Adam. Hello, Adam.

-Hello.

-Hugo.

-Yes, this is Hugo.

0:03:150:03:18

-Tell me about Hugo then.

-Hugo is four years old.

0:03:200:03:22

He's a miniature wire-haired dachshund

0:03:220:03:25

and he loves nothing more than going for a run.

0:03:250:03:29

-A run.

-Yeah.

-But not far.

0:03:290:03:31

No, we're training him for CaniX, so he's up to 3.5km at the moment.

0:03:310:03:36

-Walked that dog?

-Yeah, he'll walk for 14km as well.

0:03:370:03:41

Sorry? How, with those legs, how does he walk for 14km?

0:03:420:03:45

He's just got so much energy. I don't know where he gets it from.

0:03:450:03:48

Well, I hope he enjoys tonight. I hope you do as well.

0:03:480:03:50

Let's hear it for Team Charley.

0:03:500:03:53

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:530:03:54

-So team captain Matthew from Team Matthew.

-Hello.

0:03:560:03:59

Hello. Introduce us to your dog.

0:03:590:04:01

This is Wiggie-Wiggie-Woo-Woo HRH Prince of Wiggleness.

0:04:010:04:04

You can call him the Wigster, Mr Wiggles, Wiggie-Wee-Woo-Woo.

0:04:040:04:08

LAUGHTER

0:04:080:04:11

Oh... You... Yes.

0:04:110:04:12

Shall we leave it there?

0:04:120:04:14

How was Wiggie when you were in the jungle?

0:04:140:04:16

I don't know whether he missed me as much as I missed him.

0:04:160:04:19

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-I had a wonderful time.

0:04:190:04:21

The best thing was coming out of it less afraid than

0:04:210:04:24

when I went in with a whole lot of new friends.

0:04:240:04:26

Do you have fear about today?

0:04:260:04:28

I expect Wiggie to disgrace himself,

0:04:280:04:30

because that's what he does best, really. He's a very wilful animal.

0:04:300:04:33

-So he's just like you then, Matthew?

-He's just like me.

0:04:330:04:36

-Well, I wish you the very best of luck.

-Thank you.

0:04:360:04:38

-Team Matthew.

-Thank you.

0:04:380:04:40

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:400:04:41

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:04:430:04:44

Now this is a very special dog, isn't it, Tanya?

0:04:440:04:47

Yes, he's a cynophobia resistance dog,

0:04:470:04:49

so he works with children that have a morbid fear of dogs.

0:04:490:04:53

He does it once a week.

0:04:530:04:55

We just introduce them slowly to play with the dogs.

0:04:550:04:58

-Can I get down and talk to him down here?

-Yes, of course.

0:04:580:05:00

So, what do you do, then?

0:05:000:05:01

We play games and get the children to make them sit

0:05:010:05:04

-so they gradually learn that dogs are safe.

-Oh.

0:05:040:05:08

You clever, clever dog. Thank you very much, Tanya and Max.

0:05:080:05:11

CHEERING

0:05:110:05:13

-Hello, Marie. Hello. Introduce us to your dog, please.

-This is Blaze.

0:05:130:05:18

-He's a Lakeland cross Jack Russell terrier.

-He's like this, "I'm ready!

0:05:180:05:21

"I'm ready!" He looks like he could cope with absolutely anything.

0:05:210:05:25

Oh, yeah, he's got a smashing character.

0:05:250:05:27

Always full of it, always on the go. He keeps me going.

0:05:270:05:30

He's helped me through an illness a few years ago as well. He was

0:05:300:05:33

there for me, by my side the whole time. Yeah, he's very special.

0:05:330:05:37

-Do you think that bond, that's brought you even closer?

-BLAZE WHINES

0:05:370:05:40

Oh, absolutely, I'm so sorry. Was I ignoring you? I'm so sorry.

0:05:400:05:45

We were talking about you, though. OK? We were talking about you.

0:05:450:05:49

-Yeah, our bond's inseparable.

-That's so wonderful.

0:05:490:05:51

Let's hear it for Team Matthew.

0:05:510:05:54

CHEERING

0:05:540:05:55

So, introductions over, we're ready for our first game of the evening.

0:05:570:06:00

Let's bring on our first round of players.

0:06:000:06:02

Team Charley have put forward Jenni and Lillie

0:06:020:06:05

and Team Matthew have chosen Tanya and Max.

0:06:050:06:08

So, let's play Duck Down.

0:06:080:06:10

Welcome to Duck Down.

0:06:160:06:18

Now, the aim of the game is simple - the handler must aim to

0:06:180:06:21

throw the duck into the water in our pool.

0:06:210:06:25

The dog must leap into action to retrieve the duck

0:06:250:06:28

and return it to the handler who then drops it in their box.

0:06:280:06:32

The team that collects the most ducks in the box

0:06:320:06:35

are declared the winners.

0:06:350:06:37

Now, we flipped a coin to see who's going first so, Tanya and Max,

0:06:370:06:40

if you'd like to go off and get ready.

0:06:400:06:42

Thank you very much indeed.

0:06:420:06:44

And we can now say hello to our canine experts

0:06:440:06:46

standing by in the pool. Give us a wave, Dave.

0:06:460:06:50

CHEERING

0:06:500:06:52

Give it some welly, Ellie.

0:06:520:06:54

CHEERING

0:06:540:06:55

OK, here we go. Time to get the competition under way.

0:06:550:06:58

Good luck, Tanya and Max. On your barks, get set, go.

0:06:580:07:03

So, Max is a cynophobia dog

0:07:040:07:06

and that means he spends time with people who have a fear of dogs.

0:07:060:07:10

He looks a bit hesitant

0:07:100:07:12

but all our dogs are paired up with games that suit them by our

0:07:120:07:14

animal experts and Dave is there for some friendly encouragement.

0:07:140:07:18

Well done, Max. That's the first duck down.

0:07:180:07:20

Hopefully that's given him a bit more confidence for the next one.

0:07:200:07:24

Very gentle, Max. Having a think about the water.

0:07:260:07:30

Tanya tells us that she takes Max to the hydrotherapy pool

0:07:300:07:34

-for regular swimming lessons that he loves.

-Come on then.

0:07:340:07:37

-Good lad. Good lad.

-He's certainly got that shaggy shake down.

0:07:370:07:42

Ready? Steady? Go!

0:07:420:07:43

Well, he's wagging his tail for the next one

0:07:450:07:47

so he's clearly enjoying himself.

0:07:470:07:49

Max doesn't want to make people wet.

0:07:490:07:53

CHEERING

0:07:550:07:56

Some more encouragement from Dave and that looks like duck number three

0:07:560:08:00

but is he going to get it back in time?

0:08:000:08:03

BEEPING

0:08:030:08:04

Oh, well done, Max.

0:08:040:08:06

A much more gentle approach to this game than we'd seen before

0:08:090:08:12

but, with a little help from his friends, Max brought home the goods.

0:08:120:08:15

APPLAUSE

0:08:170:08:19

Congratulations, Max. He'd like to take it gently.

0:08:190:08:22

-So, Max, very well done. OK, are you ready?

-Ready.

0:08:220:08:27

On your barks, get set, go.

0:08:270:08:29

Now it's Lillie's turn.

0:08:290:08:31

A lot of other Labradors we've seen on this series,

0:08:310:08:33

they absolutely love to fetch and retrieve, especially in the water.

0:08:330:08:37

Lillie giving us a masterclass in that old favourite, the doggy paddle.

0:08:420:08:46

A great technique.

0:08:460:08:47

Go get it. Good girl.

0:08:490:08:50

That's duck number two. She's going pretty fast.

0:08:530:08:56

Lillie's a very strong swimmer.

0:08:560:08:58

Her legs are working really hard under the water to power her home.

0:08:580:09:04

Go get it, go on.

0:09:040:09:05

CHEERING

0:09:080:09:09

A super-quick turn from Lillie.

0:09:110:09:14

-That'll save her extra time getting that duck back.

-Lillie, go on.

0:09:140:09:17

CHEERING

0:09:190:09:21

Come on.

0:09:230:09:24

There's that interesting front paw paddle again.

0:09:270:09:30

She looks a bit like me in the pool on holiday.

0:09:300:09:33

15 seconds.

0:09:330:09:35

She's only got a few seconds left. Will she get that duck back in time?

0:09:350:09:39

CHEERING

0:09:390:09:41

BEEPING

0:09:410:09:42

So Lillie raced through that game,

0:09:420:09:44

pulling on all her Labrador skills to doggy paddle her way to the finish.

0:09:440:09:48

Well done.

0:09:480:09:50

Let's just remind ourselves that Max managed to get two,

0:09:500:09:55

so well done to you, Max.

0:09:550:09:58

And Lillie managed to get five. Congratulations.

0:09:580:10:02

CHEERING

0:10:020:10:03

So, that means, after our first game,

0:10:030:10:06

Team Charley leap into the lead.

0:10:060:10:09

Now, before we go on, let's just take a moment to appreciate

0:10:090:10:12

man's best friend in all their finery.

0:10:120:10:14

It's time for us to enjoy Lillie and Max's wet dog shaggy shake.

0:10:140:10:18

MUSIC: "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb

0:10:180:10:21

# Shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah

0:10:210:10:23

# Show 'em how you do it now

0:10:230:10:26

# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah

0:10:260:10:31

# Show 'em how you do it now. #

0:10:310:10:34

As ever, we want to keep all of our dogs happy

0:10:340:10:37

and we've assembled five wonderful experts to do just that.

0:10:370:10:40

Reena Patel is our resident vet

0:10:410:10:44

and senior clinician at her local practice.

0:10:440:10:47

Roy Dyer is our canine consultant.

0:10:470:10:49

He's been training dogs for over 50 years.

0:10:490:10:52

Kristina Glover is a veterinary-approved

0:10:520:10:55

pet behaviour counsellor.

0:10:550:10:56

David Pugh trains dogs to swim and save lives.

0:10:560:11:00

And alongside him

0:11:000:11:01

is his apprentice Ellie Bedford.

0:11:010:11:03

It's time for our second game, which involves our dogs taking orders

0:11:050:11:09

but not the ones you'd expect.

0:11:090:11:10

Our celebrity team captains will be treated to a king-sized meal

0:11:100:11:14

by a dog-sized waiter in our special Sport Relief Top Dog Diner.

0:11:140:11:20

The dog must run across to the buffet

0:11:200:11:22

and retrieve as many food items as possible in the allotted time.

0:11:220:11:26

Team Charley have nominated Adam and Hugo

0:11:260:11:29

and Team Matthew have chosen Marie and Blaze.

0:11:290:11:33

So, please, take your positions and we can play Dog's Dinner.

0:11:330:11:38

OK, Charley, welcome to the Top Dog Diner.

0:11:440:11:47

Any food allergies, anything you don't like?

0:11:470:11:49

No, pretty much everything. I like everything on there.

0:11:490:11:52

OK, we'll see what he can do.

0:11:520:11:54

-Are you ready?

-I think so.

-On your barks, get set, go.

0:11:540:11:58

Here goes Hugo.

0:11:590:12:02

Oh, dear. He's smelt something which has sent him the wrong way.

0:12:020:12:05

That's not a great start. Adam just reminding him of the job at hand.

0:12:050:12:09

He's back on the right scent.

0:12:090:12:10

Now, that is a big toy for a small dog but he's managed to pick it up.

0:12:100:12:14

Come on. Good boy.

0:12:140:12:17

Go on, then, next one.

0:12:170:12:19

-Go on. Hugo.

-What does he keep smelling over there?

0:12:190:12:24

Whatever it is, it's clearly more interesting than our game.

0:12:240:12:27

-Go on. Good boy.

-He likes the egg.

-He likes the egg.

0:12:290:12:32

Come on.

0:12:320:12:34

He's just going, "I'll just take my close-up now."

0:12:340:12:36

Now, dachshunds are known for having strong teeth and a powerful jaw

0:12:360:12:39

but that doesn't help much if you can't fit the egg in your mouth.

0:12:390:12:43

Is he going to pick it up and get it back in time?

0:12:430:12:45

Come on, you can get it.

0:12:450:12:47

BEEPING

0:12:470:12:48

No, he's just missed the timer. Bad luck, Hugo.

0:12:480:12:50

Seeing him carry that egg across! Thank you very much indeed.

0:12:500:12:54

Let's see how many things. Here we go.

0:12:540:12:58

I think we've got a feeling we know.

0:12:580:13:00

So, I can reveal the bottle of pop was brought over

0:13:000:13:04

so you got one point.

0:13:040:13:06

CHEERING

0:13:060:13:07

Well done.

0:13:070:13:09

Poor Hugo. He had an eggs-tremely tough time with that game.

0:13:100:13:15

-OK, Matthew, you... No food allergies either?

-None at all.

0:13:150:13:19

-None at all.

-You like a nice buffet?

-Everything.

0:13:190:13:22

-I'll eat anything.

-OK, Blaze, on your barks, get set, go.

0:13:220:13:26

-Blaze, get it.

-So, let's see how Blaze gets on.

0:13:260:13:29

He's a Lakeland terrier Jack Russell cross. So he's quite an unusual mix.

0:13:290:13:35

He is so quick. He seems to know exactly what to do.

0:13:350:13:39

Come on, come on, come on.

0:13:390:13:42

Well, this is egg-citing.

0:13:420:13:45

Looks like Blaze is going to have a CRACK at the egg.

0:13:450:13:48

Come on.

0:13:480:13:49

Marie and Blaze compete in quite a few dog shows together

0:13:490:13:52

so they are already a strong team and you can really see that here.

0:13:520:13:57

-Come on, Blaze. Good boy.

-Quickly.

0:13:570:13:59

Looks like he may be losing his bottle.

0:14:000:14:03

Blaze, good boy. Come on.

0:14:060:14:08

-Blaze.

-Good boy.

0:14:080:14:10

-Go on.

-Come on, Blaze.

0:14:120:14:15

Now, I don't want to give the game away here

0:14:150:14:17

but I think Blaze might win this one.

0:14:170:14:19

Come on. Come on.

0:14:200:14:23

-Blaze is going to do the whole lot.

-Go on. Go on.

0:14:230:14:28

Quick.

0:14:280:14:30

CHEERING

0:14:300:14:32

BEEPING

0:14:320:14:33

-Good boy.

-Blaze. Yes. Yes. Let's have a look.

0:14:350:14:41

I'll throw you one to play with in a second. OK.

0:14:410:14:44

I think we all know the answer to this. You have...

0:14:440:14:47

Shall we count your points?

0:14:470:14:50

One,

0:14:500:14:52

two,

0:14:520:14:53

three,

0:14:530:14:55

0:14:560:14:58

six,

0:14:580:14:59

seven

0:14:590:15:01

and a sausage. Eight points.

0:15:010:15:04

CHEERING

0:15:040:15:05

That means that Team Matthew are the winners. Well done.

0:15:050:15:10

So it's now after two games one all.

0:15:100:15:14

Now, all of tonight's contestants are here to support

0:15:140:15:17

a really great cause.

0:15:170:15:18

The best way to fund-raise is by getting sponsored to enter

0:15:180:15:21

an event at the Sport Relief Games

0:15:210:15:24

but there are all sorts of ways you and your dog can make a difference.

0:15:240:15:27

The first ever Sport Relief Games take place

0:15:310:15:34

from Friday the 21st to Sunday the 23rd of March.

0:15:340:15:37

The best way to join the fun and games is to sign up

0:15:390:15:41

to run, cycle or swim.

0:15:410:15:43

We beat the Sport Relief marathon!

0:15:430:15:46

But there are lots of other ways you can take part

0:15:460:15:49

and raise money for Sport Relief along with your faithful friend.

0:15:490:15:52

How about charging a fee for colleagues to

0:15:520:15:54

bring their pooches to work?

0:15:540:15:56

Or you could ask for donations in exchange for walking people's dogs.

0:16:100:16:14

Now, it's time for our celebrity captains Charley and Ziggy

0:16:140:16:18

and Matthew and Wiggie to play the next game.

0:16:180:16:21

So, let's explain the rules. The game is called Pooch Petrol

0:16:210:16:25

and requires each team to ride a tricycle.

0:16:250:16:27

Thankfully, it's the humans who'll be doing the pedalling.

0:16:270:16:31

The course consists of four boxes containing plastic balls.

0:16:310:16:34

As they go around, they must collect as many balls as possible

0:16:340:16:37

but only one at a time. Sounds simple but there's a catch.

0:16:370:16:41

Their vehicle can only move

0:16:410:16:43

while their dog is sitting on the back in their very own petrol tank.

0:16:430:16:48

If the dog jumps out, the celebrity must stop,

0:16:480:16:51

get them back in place before they can continue.

0:16:510:16:54

The winners will be the team that collects the most balls within

0:16:540:16:57

the time limit, so let's get the wheels in motion for Pooch Petrol.

0:16:570:17:01

Matthew and his miniature schnauzer are standing by.

0:17:070:17:10

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-On your barks, get set, go.

0:17:100:17:15

You wait there, Wigs.

0:17:150:17:17

Daddy might be a little while. Wait there. Wait.

0:17:170:17:21

A shaky start from Matthew but he's off. The first ball in the basket.

0:17:210:17:24

Wait there.

0:17:240:17:25

-Wait there. Wait. Wait there.

-I think Wiggie's quite enjoying himself.

0:17:260:17:33

He seems pretty content.

0:17:330:17:34

Oh, nearly lost the ball. Wait there. Wait there. Wait there.

0:17:340:17:39

He's looking quite regal now.

0:17:410:17:43

-Oh.

-Oh, bit of a wobble. Now he's back in control.

0:17:440:17:50

Here we go, Wigs.

0:17:500:17:53

Wait there. Wait there.

0:17:530:17:55

BEEPING

0:17:570:17:59

Well done.

0:17:590:18:02

A flawless round from Wiggie there.

0:18:020:18:05

Not quite so flawless from Matthew, though.

0:18:050:18:08

-Well done, you got seven balls.

-Well done, Wiggie. Yeah!

0:18:080:18:12

Now, Charley, remember, it's not the sort of bike you're used to,

0:18:120:18:16

-I know, but... OK, on your barks, get set, go.

-Stay there. Good boy.

0:18:160:18:22

-Good boy. Is he still there?

-Yes, he's still there.

-Oh. OK.

0:18:220:18:26

So, Charley is famous for his travels around the world on his motorbike.

0:18:260:18:30

This should be a fairly easy round for him as long as Ziggy stays put.

0:18:300:18:35

-Is he still there?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:18:350:18:37

Don't worry, I'll let you know if he's not.

0:18:370:18:39

I almost put the doggy treat in my mouth then.

0:18:390:18:41

I didn't know what to do with it. Oh, look, oh.

0:18:410:18:44

-Careful on the corners, please.

-OK.

0:18:440:18:47

Charley's moving pretty fast.

0:18:470:18:49

He is clearly a lot more comfortable with speed than Matthew was.

0:18:490:18:52

-It's Ziggy against Wiggie.

-There we go. Right. Here we go.

0:18:520:18:58

-Oh, I missed it.

-Looks like faster isn't always better.

0:18:580:19:02

Charley sped past that and missed the ball.

0:19:020:19:04

-He doesn't look very happy, does he?

-He's got the wind in his ears.

0:19:040:19:08

I'll go faster. See how fast we can go, Ziggy? Come on. Here we go.

0:19:080:19:12

Oh, I missed another one.

0:19:120:19:14

BEEPING

0:19:140:19:16

Speed demon Charley zoomed round that course

0:19:160:19:19

while Ziggy enjoyed the wind in his hair.

0:19:190:19:21

Charley and Ziggy, you managed to get 11 balls.

0:19:240:19:27

CHEERING

0:19:270:19:28

Which makes you the proud winners of Pooch Petrol.

0:19:280:19:33

OK, let's see what that's done to the overall score.

0:19:330:19:35

Team Charley have the upper hand now

0:19:350:19:38

with two rounds to one.

0:19:380:19:40

And that 2-1 lead will earn them a very handy time

0:19:410:19:44

advantage in the final showdown.

0:19:440:19:46

It's time to play The Bark Off.

0:19:460:19:49

Now, in front of our teams are some classic British landmarks

0:19:550:19:59

and each team must make their way from Land's End to John o'Groats.

0:19:590:20:03

Now, this is a relay race.

0:20:030:20:04

The course will be completed one dog at a time and if an obstacle

0:20:040:20:08

is refused or incorrectly cleared then they'll hear this sound...

0:20:080:20:11

BUZZER

0:20:110:20:12

They'll only get two attempts at each obstacle

0:20:120:20:15

and they cannot move on until they hear the sound...

0:20:150:20:17

BELL

0:20:170:20:19

So, the team that completes the course in the fastest time

0:20:190:20:22

will take overall victory

0:20:220:20:23

and be in with a chance of going through to the grand final.

0:20:230:20:26

Team Charley are in the lead which means that

0:20:260:20:29

Team Matthew have the pressure of going first.

0:20:290:20:32

And because they are lagging behind, two games to one, they'll be

0:20:320:20:35

starting their run with 15 seconds already added to the clock.

0:20:350:20:40

It's time to play The Bark Off.

0:20:400:20:42

OK, Team Matthew, good luck.

0:20:430:20:46

On your barks, get set, go.

0:20:460:20:49

Through, through.

0:20:490:20:50

It's Blaze for Team Matthew going first on The Bark Off.

0:20:500:20:53

They compete in dog shows together, so expect a fast round.

0:20:530:20:57

A lightning-quick start, as expected from Blaze,

0:20:570:21:00

as he races over Tower Bridge.

0:21:000:21:02

Straight through Barking Tube

0:21:020:21:04

and up onto Swindon's Magic Roundabout

0:21:040:21:06

for a three-second sit and stay.

0:21:060:21:08

0:21:100:21:12

-Good boy.

-Nicely done, Blaze.

0:21:120:21:13

Straight over Sherwood Forest and into the tunnel for both of them.

0:21:130:21:17

Come on, up. Good boy.

0:21:190:21:21

Good scramble over Mount Snowdon

0:21:210:21:22

and onto the Royal County Down Golf Course.

0:21:220:21:25

Weave, weave, weave.

0:21:250:21:26

Lovely concentration from Blaze on the weave there.

0:21:260:21:30

Not taking his eye off Marie for a second. Time for a ferry ride.

0:21:300:21:34

Blaze just needs to stay on board.

0:21:340:21:37

Now, the ferry ride across the Mersey.

0:21:370:21:39

MUSIC: "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by Gerry And The Pacemakers

0:21:390:21:43

-Wait, wait.

-Very nice gentle ride.

0:21:430:21:47

-Excellent stuff.

-Wait. Good boy. Come on.

0:21:470:21:52

Last two jumps over Hadrian's Wall and the Forth Bridge

0:21:520:21:55

and he's made it to John o'Groats.

0:21:550:21:56

-OK, it's time for Max, our lovely, quiet Border collie.

-Forward.

0:21:560:22:02

Forward. Quickly. Quick. Come on.

0:22:020:22:06

A solid stroll over the bridge for Max, taking in the sights of London.

0:22:060:22:11

And further down the course now, Max completing the sit and stay

0:22:110:22:14

-and cleanly over Sherwood Forest.

-Quick.

0:22:140:22:17

-These two are great together, aren't they?

-Over and up the mountain.

0:22:190:22:25

Weave.

0:22:250:22:26

-Weave. Weave.

-Oh, beautiful.

0:22:260:22:29

A lovely weave from Max through the golf course.

0:22:290:22:32

-Now, I think there might be a few bribery biscuits in that ferry.

-Stay.

0:22:320:22:36

MUSIC: "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by Gerry And The Pacemakers

0:22:360:22:40

Stay. Stay. Stay.

0:22:400:22:44

CHEERING

0:22:440:22:46

Max, this way. Over.

0:22:480:22:50

The last few jumps for Max and a nice, clean round.

0:22:500:22:53

Now it's time for Matthew and Wiggie. This could be interesting.

0:22:530:22:57

Quick, quick, quick. Come here. Come here.

0:22:570:23:00

-Did Matthew just kick Stonehenge?

-Now over Tower Bridge.

0:23:000:23:03

Come on, Wigs. Come on.

0:23:030:23:06

-Good boy. No.

-He made it over Tower Bridge. Now Barking Tube.

0:23:060:23:12

-Over to the sit and stay at the Magic Roundabout.

-Wigs, come here.

0:23:120:23:15

Slight lack of coordination between the pair at the moment.

0:23:150:23:18

-I don't really think Wiggie's listening.

-Come here. Come here.

0:23:180:23:24

-OK, now the sit and stay.

-Sit. Wait. Wait.

0:23:250:23:28

CLOCK TICKS

0:23:280:23:29

Wait.

0:23:290:23:30

BELL

0:23:300:23:32

-Over the jump.

-He did listen that time. Very good, Wiggie.

0:23:320:23:35

-Through the tunnel together.

-Come on, Wigs.

0:23:350:23:37

Down on all fours for Matthew as he gets a dog's-eye view

0:23:410:23:44

of the train tunnel.

0:23:440:23:46

Wigs. Wigs. What's this here? Up you get.

0:23:460:23:50

Yeah, looks like the biscuit bribe trick is coming out again.

0:23:510:23:54

MUSIC: "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by Gerry And The Pacemakers

0:23:540:23:57

Wiggie doesn't even know he's going anywhere.

0:23:570:24:00

What's this? What's this? What's this here? Wigs, come on.

0:24:000:24:04

-Just the last two jumps.

-Wigs, Wigs, Wigs.

0:24:040:24:09

And he's home. BEEPING

0:24:090:24:11

CHEERING

0:24:110:24:13

So a sneaky snack for Wiggie means a quick trip across the Mersey

0:24:130:24:16

and hopefully a good time for Team Matthew.

0:24:160:24:18

-Well done, Team Matthew, would you like to know your time?

-Go on.

0:24:180:24:22

A very respectable four minutes 53 seconds. Well done.

0:24:220:24:26

CHEERING

0:24:260:24:28

Team Charley,

0:24:280:24:29

you now know what you have to beat.

0:24:290:24:32

On your barks, get set, go.

0:24:320:24:34

So, it's tiny Hugo off first for Team Charley

0:24:350:24:37

and straightaway we can see a lack of concentration from the dachshund.

0:24:370:24:41

Adam needs to get him focused to get round the course.

0:24:410:24:44

Looks like he's back on track, speeding across Tower Bridge.

0:24:440:24:48

Oh, dear, that strong sense of smell is getting Hugo into

0:24:490:24:52

all sorts of trouble.

0:24:520:24:54

Just when we thought he'd come to the end of the line, Hugo does a U-turn.

0:24:540:24:59

-Up.

-You can pick him up and put him on there. That's fine.

0:25:000:25:04

Good boy. Sit. Sit.

0:25:040:25:07

CLOCK TICKS

0:25:070:25:09

Wow, excellent.

0:25:090:25:10

BELL

0:25:100:25:11

-Well done.

-Come on.

-On to Sherwood Forest.

0:25:110:25:14

That jump is twice the size of Hugo. He just bounds straight over it.

0:25:140:25:18

-Come on, Hugo. Yeah, good boy.

-Making easy work of Giant's Causeway.

0:25:200:25:25

Up.

0:25:260:25:28

I'll tell you what,

0:25:280:25:29

it must be like a dog buffet in the bottom of that ferry by now.

0:25:290:25:32

MUSIC: "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by Gerry And The Pacemakers

0:25:320:25:36

-Come on.

-You can pick him up, that's fine.

-Ready? Keep going.

0:25:380:25:43

Come on. Over.

0:25:430:25:46

And a lovely flurry of jumps to finish off from Hugo.

0:25:480:25:52

It's Lillie's turn and Jenni's going to have to work hard

0:25:520:25:55

to keep up with her.

0:25:550:25:58

-Look at the speed.

-She is really fast.

0:25:580:26:03

A bit too fast there. She's overshot Magic Roundabout.

0:26:090:26:10

Good clean jump over at Sherwood Forest from Lillie.

0:26:130:26:17

Further down the course now.

0:26:170:26:18

Let's see if Lillie can find herself a snack at the bottom of the boat.

0:26:180:26:22

MUSIC: "Ferry Cross The Mersey" by Gerry And The Pacemakers

0:26:220:26:25

No, she's not going to need that snack.

-OK, Charley, off you go.

-Here come Charley and Ziggy.

0:26:340:26:37

-Now, remember, Ziggy is 12 years old, which is 84 in human years.

-Got it.

0:26:370:26:41

-Got it.

-So, he might take things a little slower than those young pups.

0:26:410:26:45

Further down the course to Sherwood Forest and a jump from the old boy.

0:26:470:26:51

-Oh, followed by a little scratch.

-Sorry. In your own time.

0:26:510:26:56

Take your time, Ziggy. No rush. Time for our last trip across the Mersey.

0:26:560:27:02

Ziggy. Stay.

No. Never mind.

0:27:180:27:19

Last two jumps.

0:27:200:27:21

BEEPING Good effort, Ziggy.

0:27:240:27:27

A great round from our oldest ever competitor. Well done, Ziggy.

0:27:270:27:32

OK, now, the time to beat was four minutes and 53 seconds.

0:27:320:27:38

I can reveal that you managed it in a time of

0:27:380:27:43

five minutes 25 seconds.

0:27:430:27:47

Huge congratulations to Team Matthew for winning tonight's show,

0:27:480:27:51

which means each of their dogs get a dog toy.

0:27:510:27:54

And, interestingly enough,

0:27:540:27:56

that's the very first time that the team with the time penalty has won.

0:27:560:28:01

-Hey.

-There we go.

0:28:010:28:03

But, was it fast enough to qualify for the semifinals?

0:28:030:28:07

Only the top four winning times of the series will make it through

0:28:070:28:11

and your time of four minutes and 53 seconds

0:28:110:28:14

puts you in eighth position, I'm afraid.

0:28:140:28:18

-But still, well done for tonight.

-Yeah.

-A really good time.
