Episode 10 The Getaway Car

Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa and the ultimate relationship

road test where five couples will be taking their cars over the speed

limit and themselves over reasonable limits.

Belt up. This is The Getaway Car.

That's supposed to come off, right?

Nah, it's all right. Where we're going, we don't need hand brakes.

Go. CARS SCREECH

Waa!

Stop, stop.

Oh, that hurt.

Just squeal like a pig.

Here at The Getaway Car, the boys in the lab have come up with an

experiment designed to test the following.

What happens to loving couples when you put them in a car to face

a series of ridiculous motoring challenges?

Testing will be rigorous.

The answers are as yet unknown.

What we do know is that they require nerves of steel...

My leg is literally shaking like a leaf.

..warmth and compassion...

Slow down.

..and a high level of driving ability.

Ray, turn right, Ray.

We also know that tonight's finalists will get to drive this...

..the getaway car, in the hope of winning £10,000.

CAR REVS UP

But that rather depends on how well they do in the head-to-head clash with this piece of work.

The Machiavellian motoring mastermind that is the Stig and Andy

thinks it's permanently night-time.

And night-time is precisely where the Stig comes out to play.

So one track, two cars and one big cash prize for the taking.

Right, rev her up, let's get this show on the road.

And let's welcome today's fantastic five teams.

Among them you will find best friends and partners in crime

Charlotte and Gloria from Hertfordshire.

Her to put their relationship to the test and kick some getaway bottom.

Tracey, what a face for determination.

And her 21-year-old son Sam from Redcar.

And Mark with the halterneck love of his life Claire, here to step their relationship up a gear.

A quick change, thank you.

And they're race-suit ready.

Now, to the cars with you.

Oh, wonderful. A lot of warmth coming through there.

With round one on the horizon I imagine things are going

to turn pretty frosty. Time for Hazard Highway.

Meet best friends and roomies Charlotte and Gloria.

Our first team, brave or daft enough, to tackle Hazard Highway

today, where they'll need to have a plan of action...

I'm not one for planning. What do you want to plan for?

I might not be here tomorrow. What's the point if I'm not even here?

..be in tiptop physical condition...

-Is it true the camera has 10 pounds?

-At least.

-Oh, no.

..and most importantly, be raring to go.

Can we go now?

That sounds raring enough to me.

Take it away, Greens.

KLAXON SOUNDS

Oh.

SHE SCREAMS

We've got screamers in the house.

Well, screaming is believing.

-So let's meet them. Who do we have here? Are we bezzers, are we BFFs?

-Yes. BFFs.

What's she like as a driver?

She is actually a pretty good driver to be fair.

-I've got my HGV licence.

-How come?

Because I've got a ten ton horsebox so I take five,

six horses out at the weekend.

HORSE WHINNIES, HOOFS POUND

No time for horsing around now.

They're going to need all the horsepower for the seesaws.

-Charlotte needs to rein it in a little bit.

-Oh!

I've just broken the car.

I hope not.

They need all four wheels and a steady suspension for the poorly

engineered Bridge Of Doom.

My leg is literally shaking like a leaf. I can't stop it from shaking.

You don't want to hear that when you're in the passenger seat.

Going over a 30 foot bridge saying, "My leg's shaking. I just can't stop."

-From shake your legs to slippery slopes.

-Ready?

It's Car-agara Falls.

Oh, my God.

Right, almost to the friendship, the fuddler and Gloria's in control.

So my directions, I would say, are pretty horrific.

-Stop, stop, stop.

-I am.

-Right.

We're just going to roll with it, you know. See what happens.

-So just say a prayer and hope for the best.

-Yeah.

Will their eight-year friendship survive the wrath

of the human sat nav?

Charlotte, you're not even moving.

-I can't hear it, sorry.

-OK, slow, slow, now turn a bit more right.

Oh, my God. Look at my leg!

Turn it a bit more right. Just shut up.

Left, left, you're going to hit that cone. Go back, reverse back a bit.

Reverse back a bit.

You're getting me really angry now. OK, now, stop, now go back forward

-and start turning it slightly right.

-All right, Gloria.

-Listen to me.

I'm actually getting well annoyed. Right. I mean left.

See, you're saying right.

OK, go back, go back.

Oh, my God.

Are you sure they said they were best friends?

Thankfully, there's no left or right now, just straight on into Cape Town's Calamity Carwash.

Wipers, wipers, wipers.

Imagine clean as a very soapy whistle,

it's onto the world where gigantic footballs are unavoidable

and the players are full of nothing but hot air. It's Car Football.

Just think you're David Beckham.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yes, please.

Rarely seen right wing attack, get it in.

Don't do it, David Seaman.

Yes, Charlotte.

Woo!

Inflatable David Seaman beaten,

it's onto the home straight now for Charlotte and Gloria.

-Oh, my God.

-Whoa, don't find it, don't grind it and again.

The girls cross the line in eight minutes and five seconds.

You've done really well, Charlotte.

And that's the time to beat.

And trying their luck are our next two teams.

Meet father and son Joss and Jonny and mother and son Tracey and Sam.

They've one special thing in common.

And being on telly with their sons isn't it.

-I'm a unisex hairdresser.

-I'm hairdresser.

Yep.

They're both hairdressers but who will be a cut above the rest?

In the red corner it's barber Jonny and his short back and side kick, Joss.

And in the blue corner, hairdresser Tracey with an extension, Sam.

-Are you nervous?

-Yep.

Let the scissor showdown commence.

KLAXON SOUNDS

THEY SCREAM

-Who's in charge here?

-I'm in charge.

He likes to think he's in charge. He's not.

He's going to shoot off like a china in a bull, whatever they call it.

I'll just pull him in a bit.

-Together, we're going to...

-I think it will work.

-Steer him at the way, ten grand, in the back pocket.

-Job done.

-Job done.

The Reds sound confident.

Spot on.

Apart from the china and the bull bit.

Blues?

-I love this.

-I love this.

This is not good. Argh!

-Who's the better driver?

-Obviously me.

She nearly crashes any time we go anywhere.

So as a mum, are you quite gung ho?

I've got this. I've got this. It's in the bag.

Just get off it. Just get off it. What you doing?

I am through.

I'm not entirely sure how you get stuck there.

Other than the miracle, the only thing getting them off there is a pit stop penalty.

Here come the lads and that's 30 seconds added to their time.

-I'm happy now. I'm not happy.

-You're not happy.

While the Blues get out of that hairy situation and mull it over,

the Reds are storming way ahead and are onto the human sat nav.

-Two o'clock.

-Yeah.

-Three o'clock.

-We get on really well. We've only fallen out once in our life, I think.

-Yeah.

And, well, that's when he had a tattoo put on

a certain part of his body which I didn't agree with but never mind.

Less said about that the better I think. The boys are looking good.

Right, right, right, right.

Straighten up, go. Slowly. Left, left, left.

-Stop.

-Father and son in perfect harmony.

-Sugar and spice.

-All things nice.

Joss and Jonny have got the moves.

foot down now to beat those Blues

who are back on four wheels.

This is more like it.

Whoa. Slower. You're going to miss the...

-Right, slow down.

-Ha-ha-ha.

Maybe not.

-Will they be better on the human sat nav?

-Slowly.

Right, we're not moving. You're not in gear. Put it in gear.

-I am in gear.

-Now we go forwards, there we go.

Anyone else think Tracey's crimping Sam's style?

Left a bit, left, left, left.

Reverse, reverse and turn right.

Turn right. Stop. Stop.

Do it when I say.

Forwards, left of it.

Stop laughing. Stop... Oh.

All right, Sam, keep your hair on.

That's the last one, I promise.

While the Blues are struggling their way through,

the Reds are onto the home straighteners.

Sorry, straight.

-Yes.

-Come on.

Joss and Jonny clock in with a time of four minutes and 20 seconds.

-That were amazing.

-Were it good?

But how about those Blues?

Here they come.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Don't even change gear, don't even change gear. Too late.

OK, change gear.

And they cross the line in the time of 13 minutes, six seconds.

Well, at least they answered the age-old conundrum, hairdressers in

a blue car are genuinely slower then hairdressers in a red car.

So the highlights are...

Whilst I would never advocate speeding,

in this instance I would advocate speeding because at the end

of this round the two slowest teams will go into a Race Off. Go.

It's a test of general knowledge where their heads will be

spinning in a tailspin of a ride.

And who better to drive our teams round the bend then the two

best colour coordinated dressers in Cape Town, Red Stig and Blue Stig.

Dapper.

One couple hoping to sail through to the final are Team Yellow.

HORN SOUNDS

I'm feeling it.

Meet married couple Malcolm and his

wife all the way from California, Deanna.

-How many years you been together now?

-25.

-Lovely.

-In terms of facing The Stig, getting chased down by...

-I love The Stig.

Dream come true

-for him and that's why I just want to do so well.

-Good luck, guys.

Thank you.

So our Yellows are set at the top of the Multi-Scary Car Park.

He handles me very well because I'm a very excitable, energetic person.

I think that's why I fell in love with him.

Love that UK-US special relationship.

Go.

DEANNA SCREAMS

Hit that, baby.

-Slow down.

-Malcolm, calm under pressure already.

Sugar and spice, stay on it.

-Go, baby, go.

-It's not the chatty sort, is he? Come on, Malc.

Give us a couple words.

-Will The Seesaws break his silence?

-Steady, steady.

Nah.

Malcolm clearly a man of very few words. On to the Human Sat Nav now.

Glasses down.

Now you need to slow down.

Go left. A little left. Not a huge left, a little left.

Left, left, left. Turn it.

-Turn it hard.

-Malcolm still hasn't said anything.

Awesome, turn a little right now. Turn a little right, a little right.

That's good. Keep right. Give it some gas.

-That's as far right as it will go.

-There you go, Malc!

Yes!

I knew you had it in you, Malcolm!

As far right as it will go.

That's as far right as it will go. Malcolm.

-As far right as it will go.

-I've missed Malc.

-Straight. Turn right.

-That doesn't matter, Malc.

-You just said something.

-Right, right.

-Any more, Malc?

-Nope. I think we've lost him again.

-Go, baby, go. Go, baby, go.

-Get the goalie.

-No, don't get the goalie.

-Get him, get him.

-No.

Don't get the goalie. Don't get the goalie. You got the goalie.

Mushroom.

Malcolm, what are you doing? Let's try that again, shall we.

Everyone take a deep breath.

-Here we go.

-Please go in, please.

-Go on, Malc.

-Get in there!

Get in there, big guy!

Let's go already, Malc.

Come on. Go, go, go.

Who needs words when you've got Malc's grit and determination.

And Deanna, just the final stretch to go.

Keep it down, Malc.

Go.

Yes!

Yeah!

They're home and dry in 4:50.

-Are you OK?

-Yeah.

-That's all Malcolm's got to say about that.

-Seven words. That's as far right as it goes.

-He is very quiet.

-I have to fill in the gaps.

-You did. You did a great job on that score.

Now for our fifth and final team.

Meet Mark and co-driver Clare who are clearly both tickled pink

to be here.

It's my favourite colour so I'm over the moon but you're devastated.

It's not my particular favourite colour.

-You look gorgeous.

-Thank you.

Clare's happy, that's the main thing.

What have we got? Are we husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend?

We're a bit older for boyfriend and

girlfriend. He's my partner in crime.

These two look like they mean business.

Come on, baby.

Sugar.

-Woohoo!

-If we do get to the final and we do win...

We're going to get married. Yay!

Well done. This is a weird position.

This is make or break with our relationship, basically.

If we don't win, he's in the bin.

There's nothing like putting a little bit of pressure on

your relationship.

Looking good so far though. There they go up the Bridge of Doom.

-This is the bit I'm dreading.

-Just stay calm.

Bit more biting point.

He stalled out. He's not supposed to disappear.

-Whoa! Come on.

-Is that their marriage hopes going up in smoke?

I didn't think you'd ever stall a car.

For Mark's sake alone, I really hope not.

No stalling now, the wedding's back on.

Hang on.

-It could be off again after the Human Sat Nav.

-Right.

-Keep to the right. Stop.

-Looking good so far, Clare.

Right. Keep right. Right, right. Stop, left now.

One to the left. Put your foot down.

Slow down.

I think we've all just seen a different side to Clare.

Stop the car and take your goggles off.

-You're hard work sometimes, Mark.

-Come on, Mark.

Time for you to score some brownie points.

-Come on!

-Ball's in, Clare's happy.

And maybe it's safe now to go and buy that hat. Bring it home, Pinks.

Come on.

You'll kill me.

Bring home the bacon, honey. Come on.

-Put your foot down.

-I am putting me foot down.

And the Pinks finish in a time of 6:37.

Come on.

But how does that effect their marriage plans and more

importantly, the leaderboard?

Remember, the fastest three teams will automatically coast

through to the next round.

And for the slowest two teams it's a scary case of the Race Off.

-This is tense.

-Yeah.

Brilliant. Brilliant. What a start.

Oh!

Yes!

Which means Team Green and Team Blue are in the Race Off.

No.

-No. Wow.

-OK.

-Tracey, with a time of 13:06 you can't be that shocked.

Let's all just have a moment of silence.

Co-drivers, I'm sorry to say you're going to be doing two laps of

this track with Blue Stig and Red Stig.

Their job is to drive you twice around this track as fast as

they possibly can.

Your job is to give me multiple answers to one question.

Whoever gives me the most correct answers goes through to the

next round. The others take the walk of shame. Got it? Understand?

Helmets on.

Quick cuddles and it's time for the Race Off.

You've got very precious cargo in there. You look after my baby.

All right?

Gloria and Sam take their seats next to our Red and Blue Brothers Grimm.

Scaring me even more.

ENGINE REVS

Remember, only one team can join the others in Round Two.

-Be good.

-Name as many of the following as you can.

Chemical elements that appear on the periodic table.

Three, two, one.

Go.

And away they go but who will name the most chemical elements

over the next two laps of the track?

-Sodium, mercury.

-Sam's off to a great start.

Sodium, nitrogen, hydrogen, titanium, mercury, gold,

silver, nickel, sodium.

Yes, Gloria, doing brilliantly.

Gold, silver, plutonium.

Aluminium.

Water.

Gloria's hit a blank. Come on, keep thinking.

Francium, beryllium, carbon.

-Very good. One lap complete.

-Nickel.

Frankincense.

-Frankincense?

-Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen.

Don't know any more.

Our red and blue chemical brothers are reaching top speed now.

Can they dredge up any more?

-Caesium. Beryllium.

-Just the final stretch.

-Any more?

-Tin.

-And that is it.

-Oh, that's hard.

-I bet he smashed that.

He looks well clever.

But who had the right chemistry and who wasn't in their element?

I said frankincense. Why would you say frankincense?

Gloria, interesting. You got...

-..a very respectable ten correct answers.

-Did I? Wow.

So, Sam...

..you got...

..13 correct answers. Which means you guys are through to Round Two.

Gloria and Charlotte, Team Green are heading home.

-So sorry, girls.

-When I first heard the question I felt sick.

Despite the result today I wouldn't have done it with anyone else.

We do have a real special bond.

THEY SCREAM

We'll probably cry tonight but we'll get over it.

Yeah, Charlotte!

So as we look in the rear view mirror we can see Round One

recede into the distance but up ahead is the savage beauty of

Round Two, Off-Road Rage, just down here,

second on the left, past the snake pit. You can't miss it.

Oh, hello there.

Welcome to Round Two which takes place here in Dusty Town

which incidentally twinned with Snake City.

Our contestants will be driving as fast as they can around this

dust track in these beautiful beasts.

Along the way they will encounter many things including those

Stig Heads. Knock one over and you incur a time penalty.

Five seconds for a white Stig,

ten for a red and should they get themselves in a dusty pickle

and need help from the Getaway pit crew that adds an extra 30 seconds.

Slowest two couples go into the

Race Off. First up, Malcolm and Deanna.

Forward, my lovely.

Apologies. Sorry.

Loves cars. He's hot-rod mad.

So I want so much for us to do well for him.

If I mess up giving him the wrong direction I'm going to be crushed.

Red Stig, White Stig.

Right, left. That's all I have to know.

-Hey, Malc. Hey, Dee-Dee. How we doing? Feeling good?

-Very good.

Malc is the silent assassin.

Dee-Dee you make up for the fact that he doesn't talk to you much.

Best of luck. Three, two, one, go.

Malc and Dee are off and ten quid says Malc breaks his silence

in this round.

Stigs coming up. Go left.

White Stig on the right.

Yes, babe, yes. Go, honey, go.

You're good.

Stigs on the left.

In the middle. No right, no right.

He's hitting everything.

-Two Stigs.

-Cape of No Hope.

-Avoid him. Back up.

A little run-in there. Malc still not said a word.

Just go. Get out of here.

You've got it, honey.

Avoid the Stig. Yes, yes!

-Come on, sugar.

-Round Cheetah's Corner now. Look at that face.

It speaks volumes whilst not actually saying anything.

Over Sillymanjaro, up you go.

-Left, left left.

-Last bend to go.

-Go!

-They are home. I owe Stan the producer a tenner.

-I love the silence. It's good. Shows focus, Malc.

-Exactly.

They may have been focused but Malcolm took down 14

White Stigs and two red picking up a pretty hefty 1.30 in time penalties.

So Mainly Mute Malc and Deafening Deanna set the time to beat of 3:16.

Next up Tracey and her son Sam.

When he was a baby I always called him my Bubblicious Boy.

He's mummy's little Bubblicious Boy.

SHE CACKLES

And this is what I've been living with for 21 years.

Chill out, boy racer.

Stop.

Tracey and Sam, how we doing?

-Tracey, remember Sam had to rescue you last time.

-Yeah, yeah.

Best of luck, guys. Three, two, one, go.

And away they go.

Middle of the road, stay central.

Tracy and Sam, mother and Bubblicious Boy in perfect harmony.

-...ish.

-Left side of the road. Left, left. Stay over here. That's it.

Very nice. Back on. We're in.

Avoid this! Avoid this!

Good. Careful, careful.

Steady on.

Don't hit them. Don't hit them.

Oh, nearly. Come across.

That's it. You got them all.

-Floor it, this is the speed bit.

-Up to the Cape of No Hope now.

Hit this one, hit this one.

-Move Stig!

-Yeah, Stig, move.

-That's a guy who likes to hitch a ride.

-Floor it. Break late.

Tracey having a slight wobble on that bend.

Straight through.

Left. Damn it.

Right.

-Oh, my God! What is this?

-This is Cheetah's Corner, Sam.

No time for warnings.

That was Sillymanjaro.

-Left, left.

-Last bend now. Mind the tree.

Floor it, floor it!

-And it is over.

-That wasn't bad. You did all right there.

They did all right with 60 seconds worth of time penalties

Tracey and Sam slip into second place behind the Yellows.

Next, with their eyes on that £10,000 wedding fund,

it's the Pinks.

-We are here to win.

-Definitely.

-We're not here to mess about.

We've got a bit of determination behind this driving, you see?

He's got to marry me.

-You all right, love?

-Clare's not even looking at me.

-Just straight ahead, Clare.

-I'm determined.

-Best of luck.

Three, two, one, go.

-Whoo!

-Come on, the Pinks.

-Careful.

-Yeah, careful, Mark.

Whoa, whoa. Going around the fence.

Watch the Stig. Left. Left, be careful.

Watch the Stig on the right. Left turn.

Whoo!

I think those are screams of joy though I might be wrong.

Get in the middle.

Put your foot down now.

Believe me. Flipping hell.

Make up the time now.

Don't take the Stig out on your right or left.

Middle, slowly, slowly, Mark.

Get out of the way.

-He's crashed it.

-This is a nightmare.

Chill out.

Back on track. Come on, the Pinks.

The Stigs are coming up now. Don't hit the red ones.

Don't hit the red ones?

Hit the silver, not the red.

-Oh, my God, that was a disaster.

-Put your foot down.

Next up, Cheetah's Corner.

Left.

And up Sillymanjaro.

Whoo!

Right. Don't hit the Stig. Left.

Foot down now.

-And it is over.

-That was disastrous, Clare, I think.

Mark and Clare cross the finish line in 3:22.

Add the 80 seconds of time penalties they've incurred and that

puts them in murky water as they'll definitely be in the Race Off.

But who will join them?

Last to go it's Joss and his dad Jonny.

-Here's Jonny.

-I think we've got a brilliant relationship.

We've absolutely mental to each other. We have a good craic.

-I think that will egg us on and spur us to do well.

-Joss and Jonny.

You were fastest in Round One.

-But this is not a time to attack it like a china in a bull.

-Focus.

-Focus.

-Over to you. Three, two, one, go.

And they're away.

The beauty of Off-Road Rage is you can either take it slow and

steady or just attack it like a china in a bull.

Stig on your left.

There he is.

Or was.

They're quick so far but what will they make of these Stigs?

Triple Stig whammy.

Floor it.

On to the Cape of No Hope now.

-Go, go.

-Just the one red Stig down. Smooth moves.

Go through.

-Slightly less smooth moves there.

-There's Stig on my roof.

Stig on the roof.

-Cheetah's Corner.

-Take it easy, son.

Why not? You haven't so far.

Sillymanjaro done.

Go, go. Go, go.

Bring it home, Reds.

I think we did good. We did good.

How did you find that?

I think we might have knocked a few too many Stigs over.

The way it stands at the moment Mark And Clare you know you're in

the Race Off so did Joss and Jonny do enough?

You lapped in a very quick... 1:45

but you hit ten Stigs.

That's a lot.

1:05 in penalties giving you the fastest time of the day of 2:50.

Which means Tracey and Sam meet Mark and Clare in the Race Off.

Helmets on, guys. It's time for the Race Off Part Deux.

With the fastest time Joss the Boss and Jonny are on to Round Three.

They are joined by the Yellows, Malcolm and Dee

which means it's a Blue vs Pink showdown in the Round Two Race Off.

For the first time in the competition...

The pressure's on me! Aargh!

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Who's the man? You the man.

-You the man, you the man. A little bit.

-Oh! Stop.

Co-drivers Sam and Claire are about to face

a very rough ride courtesy of these two who, if you'll believe it,

are more tight-lipped than our Malcolm.

It's time for the race-off.

ENGINE ROARS

HE GROANS

ENGINE ROARS

-Woo!

-Go get him, Sam.

-He's a maniac!

You've just got one lap to name as many of the following as you can.

UK top 40 singles released by Take That.

Three, two, one. Go.

Never Forget.

I can't even think. Argh!

-Sound like they might be struggling a bit here.

-Must be love?

Erm... Could It Be Magic. Erm... Argh! Woo!

-Gary Barlow...

-Come on, guys, you haven't got long on this.

-Oh. Erm.

Hang on a second.

# It only takes a minute, girl... #

-Take that for some inspiration.

-Wanted that.

Can't even keep my head.

Come on, guys, we're running out of patience here.

# It only takes a minute, girl... #

SHE YELLS

HE HUMS

My head's gone. I can't even think of any.

Sam and Clare, this is your time to shine.

SHE SCREAMS

Yeah, they are definitely both a bit Barlow par on this one.

I can't think of any!

SHE SCREAMS

-Possibly the quietest race-off we've ever had.

-Wow.

-But we'll never forget it.

-That's so bad.

One lap. That's all it was.

To name as many of the following as you can.

UK top 40 singles released by Take That. Do you know your answers?

-Yeah.

-I know mine.

THEY LAUGH

I'm embarrassed.

-Sam.

-Yes.

-Coming to you first.

-Good.

You got...

A very respectable...

One correct answer.

Go on, son!

Which ironically was Never Forget.

Clare, you got...

one correct answer.

Which means we go back to our times for this round.

Blues, you were quicker so you are through to the next round.

Pinks, commiserations. I'm sorry.

I mean, you put her here in the first place. So, how do you feel?

It's my fault. Listen. We've had a really...

We've had a really, really hard time here and you haven't

totally lost because I'm going to...

THEY SCREAM

Will you marry me, Clare?

Oh, my God!

Yeah! that's fantastic!

-We have gone through hell.

-Yeah.

I'm still shaking from either the ride or being asked to be married.

We have found new things out about each other.

He realises I'm really bossy.

Put your foot down. It's all right I survived that.

And he still actually asked me to marry him so, he needs a medal.

But we didn't lose because we've got each other.

And you've got a diamond ring.

Let's all get hats!

THEY SCREAM

I'm supposed to do a link now about how they go through to the

next round, they drive through some walls and...

a little bit emotional so there'll be some sort of explanation.

-I love you.

-I love you.

At the end of these lanes, two answers to one question.

When the lights go green our contestants have to drive as

fast as they can through what they think is the right answer...

in the Suzuki Swift Sports.

They want to be right and they want to be fast because at the end

of each race someone will lose a life.

Lose two lives and you are out of the competition.

At the end we are left with just one team. Our finalists.

Who will look forward with eager anticipation to getting behind

the wheel of the Getaway Car and potentially winning £10,000.

And with less than eager anticipation to facing this man.

So, our three teams are ready and set for some brick busting action.

-In lane one, big J and Little J, Joss and Jonny.

-Come on, come on.

Look at you. Game face.

In lane two, two-time race-off survivors Sam and his mum, Tracey.

-Scared to be honest.

-Are you?

Like I haven't trusted you to go full speed

with me in the car before.

And in lane three the Yellows, chatty man, Malcolm,

and his wife, Deanna.

Come on, baby, you can do this.

-You know you can do this.

-Welcome, teams, to the drive-through.

Round Three. Joss and Johnny. First in Round One and Two.

Just behind them Malcolm and Dee and then the Blues there Tracey

and Sam. Two race-offs but they are still standing so all to play for.

Race one, question one.

In Greek mythology, a Minotaur has the body of a human and the

head and tail of which animal? A horse or a bull?

-Three, two, one, go.

-Go, honey, I know it 100 %.

-Lane two.

-Definitely

-a bull.

-It is a bull, I know it is.

Come on, foot down, come on, come on, come on.

-Oh, honey, be careful, now.

-Foot down, now. Go, go, go, go, go.

-It's the horse, yeah?

-No, it's the bull.

-Is it?

-It's a bull, it's a bull, your side.

-Bull, bull.

-Get in, my son.

I'd better be right.

SHE SQUEALS

We didn't talk about it. Why did you...?

You said a horse.

Bull is the answer they were looking for and all three

teams got it right.

But like a china in a bull, the Reds were quickest.

The Blues were slowest so they're the first team to lose a life.

Come on. Let's go. If we're going out we're going out with a bang.

Don't be last, right? Come on.

Well, just do as you did.

Let's hope we know this question.

Take a deep breath. Ready?

Race Two, question two.

Tracey and Sam can't afford to lose another life so best of luck.

-No, we cannot.

-Here's your question.

Which David sang on top of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

David Bowie or David Hasselhoff?

Three, two, one, go. Go first.

-Stay in first.

-I don't know the answer.

-David Hasselhoff.

I think it's David Hasselhoff because he's more a German.

-Go, Malcolm! You're mad.

-Which one is it?

-Bowie, Bowie, Bowie.

-Right, left!

-We've done it!

-Yes!

-Go, honey, go! Yeah!

-That's so close!

-Yes! I think you beat them!

They've gone through the other one. Does Hasselhoff even sing?

-I didn't even know he sung.

-Well done, teams.

Race two, question two.

Which David sung on top of the Berlin Wall in 1989?

David Bowie or David Hasselhoff.

Reds and Yellows, you went for The Hoff.

Blues, you went for Bowie.

Bowie...

..was the wrong answer. I'm sorry, guys.

It means you're leaving us now.

Cheers, Sam.

I'm pretty gutted at the moment, to be honest.

-SHE SCREAMS

-That was so close!

-I thought we were going to continue getting lucky all the way.

-Yeah.

At one point I felt that we couldn't lose.

Gold, silver, plutonium...

We've loved this, we've had a brilliant time.

This is not... Ohhhhh.

-I wouldn't have wanted it to be with anyone else.

-Aw...

# ..to the end of the road

# Still I can't let go... #

With the Blues out of the competition,

it's now all to play for between the Reds and the Yellows.

I'm holding on tight because I believe you're going to fly.

I feel sick.

Both teams still have two lives intact.

Race three, question three.

True, or false?

The first ever e-mail was sent before the first ever

mobile phone call was made.

Three, two, one, go!

TYRES SCREECH

-I have no idea.

-I don't either. We're just going to have to guess.

It's true, it's definitely true.

I would say true.

And he's kicking your backside.

-JONNY:

-Come on, Joss.

Yes!

-You know it's true?

-Yes!

Because telecommunications were there before mobile communications.

We've got to stop letting him go faster than us.

I'm doing the best that I can.

The correct answer was true.

E-mail came before mobile phone calls.

Both teams were right but the Yellows were slower than the

Reds, so they lose their first life.

One more wrong answer from the Yellows and they're out of

The Getaway Car.

This is all we need to do.

If we do this now we've won.

If we know the answer we've won it.

-DEANNA:

-Come on, car.

Come on, car. Come on, honey.

So far Joss and Jonny first place every time

but it's not over yet.

Yellow's still in this. All right.

Race four, question four.

Here we go.

The patron saint of which country is celebrated each year

on November 30th?

England or Scotland.

Three, two, one, go!

I think it's Scotland.

-DEANNA:

-I have no idea.

Come on, honey!

Go, honey, go! Go, honey, go!

Come on, honey, you can do this. Go!

Go, honey, go!

Did we beat them? Oh, I don't know.

That was dead on, we both did that at the same time.

It's Scotland that celebrates their patron saint, St Andrew,

on November 30th.

Both teams chose correctly but Malcolm and Deanna were

inches ahead.

The Reds lose their first life.

With one life remaining for both teams now,

a place in the final is at stake.

-Come on, Joss.

-JONNY SIGHS

-Do you have faith in me?

-Yeah.

-Out of 100?

-100.

-MALCOLM:

-We're taking it down to the wire.

The game's not over till it's over.

Red versus Yellow, one question and only one ticket to the

Getaway Chase for a chance to win £10,000.

I don't want to overdramatize this but if you get this next

question wrong you'll get a million points on your licence.

THEY LAUGH

Here's your question.

Washington DC is served by an airport

named after which US president?

Ronald Reagan or George W Bush?

Three, two, one, go!

I have no idea, do you?

I think it's Reagan.

Ronald Reagan, George Bush.

-DEANNA:

-Is it Reagan International?

It's certainly not Bush because he's Texan.

His would be in Texas.

-JONNY:

-I don't know, Joss. What do you think?

Reagan?

-DEANNA:

-Come on, go!

Go!

We've got the same answer.

What president did he pick?

The same one? God!

Who will make it through to tonight's final?

OK, teams, Malcolm, Deanna, Joss, Jonny.

It all came down to this question, sudden death.

The question was this - Washington DC is served by an airport

named after which US president.

Ronald Reagan or George W Bush?

You both...

..went for Ronald Reagan.

Both correct.

So it all comes down to speed.

The fastest, and therefore tonight's finalists

facing The Stig...

..are Joss and Jonny.

Malcolm, Deanna, well done.

SHE WEEPS

Oh, Deanna.

It was neck-and-neck but the Reds had the edge and beat the

Yellows to take their place in tonight's final.

Seriously, lad, so world champion.

# All you got to say

# Now the words just slip away

# Just walk away... #

I feel really extremely sad that Malcolm didn't get to go

through Round Four.

I wanted to come on The Getaway Car as a gift to Malcolm for being

a very steady husband.

-HE DEEP BREATHES

-OK.

And I knew he'd love it because he loves cars. He loves The Stig.

Go, honey, go! You're good!

It would have been awesome to see you...

With the only guy who talks less than me.

Yes, that's you.

Go, honey, go!

It would have been fun to have...to do that.

But D's my best friend.

So to be able to do this together...

Fantastic.

Fantastic.

Ohhhh!

# What they say, what they say, what they say...

# Gotta walk away...

# ..today... #

So, after an emotional round, we've now said goodbye to four couples,

leaving one, our finalist,

to whom we say bravo but don't get too cocky because you're about to

drive into a world of trouble in the shape of this blighter.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

I can't believe we're the Getaway champions and we're in the final.

It's a bit surreal, really.

Sugar and spice...

All things nice.

I always knew Joss was a good driver.

After the first round that we won and then I thought, "Hey!"

Then the second round I thought, "Hey!"

The Stig is on my roof.

To share this experience with my dad it's been,

it's been unbelievable, really.

Words can't describe how proud I am of him. He's...

Just hold on. Right, forget it.

# Bring him home...

Are you tearing up?

No, I'm not. A little bit, just...

I'm just proud of you, mate.

Cheers, Dad.

To be on that starting line against The Stig for me,

it's just surreal, really.

It's not really sunk in yet.

It's still sinking in but I can't wait to do it.

I am a tad nervous.

Erm, but most of all, I'm relishing it.

-Bring it on!

-Bring it on, my son!

# Bring him...

# ..home... #

DRAMATIC MUSIC

And so we come to the last round, the Getaway Chase.

Joss and Jonny's job is to drive twice around this track as

fast as they can.

In this...

That is The Getaway Car, the prize they've been after since the start

but it's a very fast prize, so they need to drive it with care.

On one level the challenge facing the boys couldn't be more simple.

Each time they pass under a money gate they bank that amount of cash.

However, just seconds after their takeoff,

The Stig gets the green light and then the hunt begins.

When he catches up with them, it's game over.

But, if they get to the finish line first,

they bank the £10,000 jackpot.

And to make matters worse,

The Stig will be driving one of his own prized possessions, the Audi R8.

With a top speed of 205mph,

and 0-60 in 3.2 seconds,

it is significantly quicker than The Getaway Car.

So to make this a fair contest,

our Getaway Car Pit Crew have worked out, with Joss and Jonny

with a ten-second head start, can win the £10,000

if they drive the getaway car perfectly.

So...one father and this boy racer versus one Stig.

Let the Getaway Chase commence.

All Joss and Jonny can do now is wait.

Who'd have thought I'd be racing The Stig.

Not in a million years did I think that I'd be doing this.

Who would have thought?

JOSS BREATHES DEEPLY

As The Stig gets comfy for another spin...

Don't worry, Joss, it'll be fine.

..it all becomes very real.

Oh, it's time.

Two laps round the track

and £10,000 for the taking.

Only The Stig stands in their way.

And away they go.

Joss looking very focused.

Come on, Joss.

Needs to stay calm, make the most of the head start.

Ten seconds up and The Stig begins his chase, looking like he means business.

Great! One grand.

£1,000 in the bank.

Two grand.

Joss staying focused and going pretty fast.

But The Stig's tearing round the track now,

hunting Joss and Jonny down.

Go on.

I can't see him behind us yet, you're all right.

Joss is onto the straight and The Stig is closing in.

One lap down and £3,000 in the bank.

Stig's got the getaway car in his sights.

Six grand, come on, Jossy.

And he's right on their tail.

£8,000 banked - will they stay in front?

So close.

Stig keeps his speed up and he has got them.

That's good, that's good. I'm happy.

-Eight grand!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Brilliant, Joss, well done.

Joss drove a cool, a calm and collected race

but The Stig...

Come on, lad.

..just caught them on the last bend.

They do, however, take home a very impressive £8,000.

That's good, that's good.

Good job. How was that, mate?

Amazing, amazing.

-I don't even remember what happened.

-DERMOT CHUCKLES

I thought he drove brilliantly.

-Proud?

-Proud? Proud as punch.

-Proud as punch.

-Aw...

And how does that feel, gents?

-That is amazing.

-Brilliant.

Over four rounds you really earnt it. Well done.

Well done.

Your champions this week, Joss and Jonny!

CHEERING

So it's back to the day job of being The Stig but we're back next

time with more couples with a love of their driving skill on the line.

We will see you then.
