Episode 7 The Getaway Car

Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa,

and the ultimate relationship road test,

where one of today's couples could be taking on The Stig

and driving away with £10,000 - if they can keep their car

and their relationship intact.

Belt up.

This is The Getaway Car.

Buddy, you've finally met your match.

Reverse. Nice one, O'Leary.

You doofus!

Go!

OK, let's go...

Oh, my!

Go right, go right!

True love never dies, but it can face some very strenuous tests,

like the oversized, over-inflated and over-the-top driving challenges

that today's five couples are about tackle.

They'll probably get overexcited...

..a little overheated...

-Bean, son! Give it a bean!

-Arrrrgh!

..but, when it's all over,

one couple will be going faster than they ever have before in this...

..The Getaway Car.

Driving that is the prize awaiting the couple

who make it to the final, along with a possible £10,000.

Though I think it's only fair to point out that also awaiting them

is this fine gentleman, The Stig.

Chased by that fiend, tonight's finalists will go all out to stay

one or more steps ahead of him,

and race for that £10,000 cash prize.

So, no Sunday drivers, but Saturday night drivers very welcome.

Let's get this show on the road.

And here are today's teams, our five plucky pairs.

Let's meet a few.

Father and son duo Dan and Andy,

hoping this experience will go down in family history

for all the right reasons.

Nice shirts.

Best buds Megan and Sophie.

We said you'll be walking down a runway.

I fear they've got the wrong idea.

And taking the high and, indeed, the scary roads,

from Troon in Scotland, married couple Chris and Laura.

Their destinies, and their cars, await.

Let the chaos commence.

So, that's our merry band of contestants.

Yeah, they can talk the talk and, yeah, they can walk the walk,

but can they drive the drive? Why don't you and I find out?

Round one is Hazard Highway.

This is an obstacle course for your car and your relationship.

I swear to God, I'm going to kill you.

Nice. Cartoon cars, cartoon challenges....

I'm so scared.

..real-life screams.

Oh, my God!

Only the fastest three teams will qualify directly for round two,

but which of our fantastic five pairs will it be?

Let's meet our first team.

It's a warm Getaway welcome to Megan and Sophie from, wait for it...

-Essex, of course.

-Can you tell?

They make up today's Team Pink.

People always describe us as double trouble,

and I think that's probably spot on the point.

Exactly. Blondes have more fun, right?

So, two fun-loving blondes, one pink car and a hazardous highway ahead.

KLAXON

Excellent.

Pink princesses in a pink princess car.

A match made in...well, Chelmsford.

So, who do we have here? Are you sisters, friends?

-Best friends.

-Best friends.

-Besties for life.

Best friends for life! Whoop, whoop!

Did you want to drive?

-No.

-Did you not?

I did to start with, and then I thought about it and thought,

actually, I think Megan's a bit more daring than I am.

She doesn't even indicate!

So for this course it might be OK, but...

Don't underestimate us.

Rev it, rev it, rev it, rev it, rev it, rag it, rag, it, rag it!

There goes the clutch.

Tip it.

You've got this, you've got this.

They've got this. They've got no tyres left, but they've got this.

And tyres, I find, are handy for gripping onto Bridges of Doom.

Just really slowly.

Oh, we're not going to fall off, are we?

If you can walk in those heels, the Bridge should be a doddle.

I'll tell you what's not a doddle, though - Car-agara Falls.

Come on, BFFLs.

What do I do with my hand?

Put it back on the wheel.

Oh, my God!

Whoa!

Are we not supposed to hit them?

No, you're not supposed to hit them.

There's a cameraman in there.

Human Sat Nav next - a firm favourite with Getaway teams,

pink or otherwise.

Listen to me!

-Tell me!

-Reverse!

Right hand down!

Here we go! Get out of this, then.

You're not listening to me!

Stop the car!

Yeah, and right again.

Unlike that lot, Megan and Sophie are actually doing rather well.

Isn't friendship wonderful?

If you can keep your right hand down again.

This is looking good.

And with the Sat Nav despatched,

the Pinks are swiftly through the unbelieva-bubbly Car Wash.

OK, just stop now. Stop, stop, stop.

Now the football goal, yeah?

Yeah. Now the football goal.

It's Car Football. Aim of the game - marry a footballer,

live in a big house...I mean, put the ball in the back of the net.

-I can't see anything.

-Don't worry, it'll blow off.

-Vibrate and fall off.

-Yeah, OK. Good idea.

How clever was that?

Ooh, very clever.

And so was that. These princesses, however, need to get a shimmy on

if they want a happy ever-after.

You're just going to go straight now. Straight, straight.

We're going to do it as fast as we can.

Really, really, really put your foot down. Rev it, rev it!

Third gear, third gear, third gear. Rev it, rev it, rev it!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Whoo!

And the girls finished in 8 minutes, 11 seconds.

That is the time to beat.

Oh, my God. We did it.

You so did it, girls.

On to the next team hoping to top the leaderboard today,

and putting their clutch control and their marriage through

trial by obstacles, it's Team Blue, Chris and Laura.

-How long have you been married?

-We've been married 5 1/2 years.

How do you feel about this? Have you got any...?

I have never been so nervous in my life.

I have a phobia of car seesaws.

She's got a phobia of what?

That's not even a thing.

Phobia of heights.

Phobia of snakes.

Phobia of the dark.

But... DUN, DUN, DUN!

..even the dramatic music feels wrong.

This will not be an easy day for you.

-No.

-No.

And the not-easy day starts for the Blues atop the Multi-Scary Car Park.

I'm just going to make sure that when Laura's in the car,

the door's locked, and go.

Doors are locked, Chris is set,

and Laura's about to endure the ride of her life.

MUSIC: I'd Do Anything For Love by Meat Loaf

# I would do anything for love

# Anything you've been dreaming of

-Oh, goodness!

-Yeah. She's not going to like this either.

Oh, my God! Ah!

Holy Moley!

Oh, my goodness!

Chris, there, very concerned for his wife's safety.

So, this is it.

The moment Laura's been dreading.

Seesaw time.

I'm terrified.

I think I might actually be sick with nerves.

About to come face-to-face with her biggest fear.

It's Laura versus Seesaw.

-We're fighting the Seesaw...

-Know what? Stop! Stop!

..car phobias for people all over Britain.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Right, up a bit.

Come on, just slow at the flags.

Stop, stop, stop. Slow, slow, slow, slow.

I've stopped the car.

Is he just torturing her deliberately?

We're stuck on the Car Seesaw!

Confront your fear.

Stay on the Car Seesaw.

Whoa!

And, having overcome that moment of extraordinary terror,

at least we know it's plain sailing from here.

Oh, my God. You're kidding me!

Or maybe not.

Trying to convince her at the minute that, you know,

her safety is important to me.

I don't want her falling off the side of the bridge.

I do need her.

She's the one that loads the dishwasher, so I need her.

Don't accelerate here.

Don't brake. Just go.

She better survive this.

That dishwasher won't load itself.

Nice barrel roll.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my goodness.

As Laura composes herself and recollects the "for worse" part

of her marriage vows,

let's meet another team flying the flag for the sanctity of wedlock.

Meet civil partners Kelly and Kellie.

When you found out you were Kelly and Kellie, were you like,

-"That's a result as well," yeah?

-Perfect!

We're actually known as K1 and K2.

K1, and K2.

-No, K1. I'm K2.

-Oh, yeah.

-I'm K2. K2's the mountain!

K2's the mountain, yeah!

How am I supposed to work this out if you two don't know?

Let's just take a second to clear this up.

We have K1.

And K2.

Everyone happy?

Then let's continue.

What do you both do for a living?

I'm a lorry driver.

Honk, honk!

This is going to be a walk in the park for you.

I'll show them how it's done.

So, K1 and K2 are ready to roll.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah, let's do it.

Easy-peasy.

MUSIC: Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit by Gina G

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Come on, a bit more welly. Stop.

Quick over the Seesaw.

Stop! Stop!

No Seesaw phobia there today.

The Ks are onto the Human Sat Nav.

Carry on. Just left, left, left, left, left! Carry on.

Right, right, right, right, right! Carry on, carry on, carry on.

Excellent. A Carry On film.

Carry on up that little ramp and onto the roundabout.

Go on, carry on.

Home time now for the Blue team.

Come on, car!

Too fast! Too fast! Too fast!

And the Reds aren't far behind.

Welly! Welly! Welly!

Oi, oi, oi!

Too fast!

Go, go, go, go, go!

K1 and K2 feeling the need for speed.

And Laura feeling the need for a lie-down.

Slow down. Slow it down.

Right, after three teams, let's take a look at the leaderboard.

The Kellys on the telly give it some welly and are top.

Megan and Sophie are sitting pretty in second place,

and Chris and Laura might find a new phobia,

as they're in potential danger of being in the race-off.

Now, they're trying to get round this course as quickly as they can

for a very good reason. The three quickest couples

go straight into the next round.

The two slowest go into a race-off.

Go! It's a battle of bravery and brains, where the co-drivers'

general knowledge and breakfast retention will be put to the test..

..by the reddest and bluest double act in light entertainment.

Red Stig and Blue Stig.

And, hoping to avoid the race-off, it's today's Team Green.

Putting their ten-year friendship to the test are best mates and London

Tube drivers Trevor and Benn.

-What line do you work on?

-On the Metropolitan line.

That is a good line. You've got a great line.

So, how did you work out who was going to drive today?

That was a long discussion.

We sat down over a weekend, basically, had a discussion.

After that, we decided it's probably best that he drive,

-because I can't drive and I haven't got a licence.

-You can't drive?

You know, no, drive a train but not a car.

I use the Metropolitan line.

This isn't filling me with much confidence.

-And have you ever felt scared? No.

-Not up to now!

So, Trevor and Benn are ready to go.

'The train has been held at a red signal.

'It will be on the move shortly.'

Now you know how it feels, boys.

Mind the doors. This car's ready to depart.

-Have you stalled it?

-Yeah.

-Oh, no!

You don't want to be stalling it in front of your best mate.

Seriously?

All right, slow. Easy, easy, easy, easy!

I don't want to go falling out of the window.

Oh, my God! That's awesome!

Now they're back on track and through Tin Can Alley.

I think I've wet myself!

I really hope you haven't, Trevor. Quick over the Seesaw.

These boys aren't hanging around.

Go, go, go, go!

We're not really slow, careful people.

In fact, if we go slow and careful,

I'll be highly embarrassed when I watch it back.

So, let's see how unslow and uncareful these lads are

in Human Sat Nav.

Right, right, right, right!

Left, left, left!

You're approaching a ramp there. Approaching a ramp.

Keep going! Left, left, left!

Come on, my son!

Right, right, right, right! Four o'clock. Four o'clock.

Five, five, five, five! Six! Six! Floor it! No!

Hard right, hard right, hard right, hard right!

-Come on, baby!

-Hard right!

This is carnage!

Left, left, left, left!

Reverse it! Reverse it! Hard left, hard left, hard left!

Straight on! Straight on!

Right, right, right, right!

Right, right, right!

Straight, straight, straight!

I'm never travelling by Tube again.

Right, they're through the Car Wash. Lovely jubbly and bubbly.

And en route to the footie.

Where are you going to go?

Sees his moment. It's a clean strike.

He's hit the post!

Post! Post!

Should be good at this. Wembley is on the Metropolitan line.

Got a second chance now. Shoots!

And he scores. There you go.

Go, go, go, go!

All right, boys. Full steam ahead to the end of the line.

Drive! Drive it like you've never driven before.

This ain't a train. No speed limits.

I hope they don't drive Tubes like this.

All right! Come on!

Come on, come on! Faster!

Whoo!

And Trevor and Benn take the chequered flag

in a time of 4 minutes, 42 seconds,

which puts them at the top of the leaderboard.

You've done well, man. You've done well.

I can't get out of here.

There you go.

While Trevor recovers from that chaotic run,

let's meet our final team today.

Taking the wheel and his father's safety into his own hands,

it's 18-year-old Dan and co-driver dad, Andy.

Why is Dan doing the driving?

I thought it's going to need, er, sort of, youthful endeavour.

-I see. A bit of vigour.

-Yes.

-Getting a bit old now, this one.

-Yeah.

I'm looking forward to scaring him a bit on this.

It's the bit I'm most looking forward to.

Do you think he'll scare easily?

He's been scared when we've been driving so far.

Just got to give it the beans the whole time round, I think.

-Never said that to me before in a car.

-No! It's good direction.

Now's the time. Just go for it, son. You'll be fine.

So, will youthful endeavour come out on top for Team Yellow?

If there's a sat nav, it should say "turn around when possible".

KLAXON

All right, Dan and Andy, here we go.

-BOTH:

-Aaarggh!

Oh, my God!

Get the wheels lined up. The wheels lined up!

Oh, my God! We're hitting the roof, hitting the roof, hitting the roof.

Andy's hanging on for dear life.

Going well.

-Dan! Dan!

-I'm going.

Go, go, go, go, go!

-OK.

-Not too heavy.

Beans, beans, beans. Up on the...

Beans, beans, beans, beans!

Does he keep saying beans?

Whoa! Ooh, my goodness!

Dan said he was looking forward to scaring his dad.

Mission accomplished.

Right, OK.

Drive it like you stole it.

Up here. Come on.

Go, go, go, go, go!

He's fast!

I think it's only right you should be driving, taking the reins.

You'll be pushing me around in a wheelchair soon, before you know it.

So enjoy just driving me around.

Dan seems to have put his dad through enough already,

but hold on tight, it's Car-agara Falls!

Whoa!

Aaaarrrgh!

Oh, my God! He's fast.

I think I drive a bit like my dad, which is going to terrify him.

I think you get it from your mother.

I don't get it from her. I get it from you.

Beans, son! Give it the beans!

Aaaaarggh!

Wipers! Whoa!

No-one go near the Yellow car.

The way Dan's driving, Andy's nerves must be hanging by a thread.

Whoa!

Much like that exhaust pipe.

Nudge it, nudge it, nudge it. OK, just blast it.

Blast it! Goal!

I think you know what to do now, son.

Go!

Time for Dan to get his dad - and his exhaust -

safely to the finish line.

But mainly his dad.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh, my God!

Don't stop until you find the Portaloo, son.

So, after that super-speedy round,

Dan and Andy wrap up today's Hazard Highway.

Only the fastest three teams will automatically cruise through

to Off-Road Rage and the slowest two will face off in the race-off.

So, let's take a look at the leaderboard.

Come on, just tell us now, yeah?

Yeah, I will. In pole position, with a time of 4 minutes

and 9 seconds, it's the Yellows.

-Oh!

-You're having a laugh!

I can't believe it! Oh, my...

Well done, son!

Nipping at their heels in second, Team Green,

Trevor and Benn.

Oh! Come on!

Dude! Are you kidding me?

Taking the last automatic place in round two,

the Reds, Kelly and Kellie.

-We did it!

-Oh!

We did it! My God!

Which means Team Pink and Team Blue are in the race-off.

Awww!

Fingers crossed.

No! No!

I was last.

Stupid Seesaws.

Aaargh!

Not you two!

Not the Blues versus the Pinks.

-Yeah.

-OK. Here's what I need you to do, all right?

You've got a very simple job.

You're going to be with Blue Stig and Red Stig.

Their job is to drive you twice around this track

as fast as they can.

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

-OK.

Whoever gets the most correct answers, your team goes through

to the next round.

-The fewest correct answers goes home.

-OK.

-Got it?

-Yeah.

-We've got it.

-Simple?

-No pressure.

-Helmets on.

Give each other a cuddle. Away we go.

It's time for the race-ff with these tearaways.

And what they lack in conversation

they certainly make up for in swervy driving.

Be nice on me, Mr Blue Stig.

Sophie and Laura are strapped in.

ENGINES REV

Remember, only one team can join the others in round two.

ENGINES REV

Here is your question.

Name as many of the following as you can.

Animated feature films released by Walt Disney Studios

and Disney Pixar.

Three,

two,

one...

..go! And they're off!

Despite the crazy speeds,

Laura and Sophie need to ignore the G-force and think of nice things,

like Disney.

Aaargh! AAARGH!

Monsters, Inc, Cinderella.

Cinderella.

Very serious, isn't it?

MUSIC: The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book

-That's better.

-Snow White And The Seven Dwarves, Frozen.

Sophie's off to a great start.

Laura's struggling.

Winnie The Pooh, Rapunzel.

Tangled.

Toy Story, Toy Story 2.

That's more like it. One lap gone, and we're halfway through.

Come on, girls. Let It Go.

-The Halloween one.

-Halloween I?

The famous Disney slasher movie?

Cars, Cars II.

Nemo. Finding Nemo.

I can't think of any more.

She looks Frozen with fear.

Up.

Time is nearly Up.

Can they do any more?

Is that us, then?

Was that the end?

And it's all over. Whose Disney knowledge will come out on top

and take them through to the next round?

Oh, my goodness!

That was so bad.

Time for the results.

So, Laura.

Yes.

You gave me four correct answers.

OK.

And Sophie...

Do I want to know?

You gave me...

11 correct answers.

Yeah!

Means you girls are still in the show.

Chris and Laura, thanks for coming on the show.

-OK, thank you.

-Cheers, Dermot.

-Thanks.

I couldn't think straight at all.

I thought, "Great question," and that was it.

I just couldn't think.

Erm...

Going out first is... I mean, it's devastating.

We were just...it'll be my new phobia, car seesaws.

We're stuck in a car seesaw!

I was proud to have Laura as my partner.

Arrrghh!

Thank you, you too.

Just gutted I put her in a car with a Red Stig.

No, honestly, it was fun.

It was good fun.

So, with one couple down - but hopefully not too down -

it still leaves us with four couples ready to face the dirt,

the dust and the, "Darling, I think we might be going the wrong way."

Round two is Off-Road Rage.

So much to see here in the South African wilderness.

Birds, trees, snakes...

and if you're lucky - very lucky -

one of these.

Yes, it's sleeping now, but very shortly it will awake.

Specifically, when driven by our contestants around this track,

hoping to also avoid these, native to this land.

That, if I'm not mistaken, is a herd of Stigs.

Peaceful creatures, but knock one over

and you'll incur a time penalty.

Five seconds for a White Stig.

Ten for a Red.

And should they get stuck and need help from the Getaway pit crew,

it's a hefty 30-second penalty.

So, eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, hearts in the mouth.

First up, Trevor and Benn.

I guess we're kind of, like, both, kind of, half people.

We've all got faults and then, like, as a combined unit,

we kind of make one decent guy, really.

You know, we kind of mix up...

On our own we're a bit rubbish, but together we're all right.

No bother. Come on, son.

I tell you what, you think your train's bouncy,

you ain't seen nothing yet.

Come on, come on.

Trevor and Benn.

-Go on, son.

-How are we doing, boys?

-Doing good.

-Feeling good?

-Bring it on, baby.

Just a warning, there will be a lot of leaves on the line.

Three, two, one, go!

Go, go, go, go!

And our Tube drivers are off,

and Trevor's attacking the first bend very nicely.

Book it, book it! Go, go, go, go, go, go!

Less noise, my son!

We've got a Stig! We've got Red Stig! Red Stig on the right!

Red Stig on the right, Red Stig on the right!

Yeah, Red Stig was on the right.

Floor it, dude! Go, go, go, go, go!

Come on, partner. Come on!

We've got a Red Stig on the right.

Oh, what? They're all over the place.

Oh, what? They're all over the place.

Floor it! Floor it!

They're approaching the Cape Of No Hope.

Slow! Slow!

No, no, no, no...

Turn.

We've got two Red Stigs! Two Red Stigs!

No! They're terrible!

Trevor's supposed to be avoiding the Stigs, isn't he?

Come on, Trev, come on.

Now, they're used to going underground,

but this next bit's overground, at the heights of Sillymanjaro.

The boys in green have almost reached their destination.

Just one more Stig to avoid.

Oh! That's it. Nice, nice, nice.

Not quite a train wreck from the Greens,

but those Stigs might not agree.

-Come on, son!

-Come on!

Come on!

Benn, tell us the tactics, there.

Was it just to go, like, hell for leather?

We kind of tried to avoid the Red ones, obviously.

Well, obviously, you didn't do it.

Two Reds and 11 Whites makes for a lot of penalties,

resulting in an overall time of 2 minutes 55,

and that's today's off-road benchmark.

Do best friends Megan and Sophie have what it takes?

Our relationship, 100%, is ready for what is on its way.

-Bring it on!

-We can face anything.

We can do anything when we're together. Right, Meg?

We're fearless together. Literally.

Oh, my heart's racing!

Me too. Oh, my God!

Hey, Megan. Hey, Sophie.

-Hi!

-Don't worry about this. It's just like the A12, OK?

A12, yeah? I drive down that every day.

-There you go.

-Nailed it!

Now, remember, last time, Sophie was in the bottom two.

-You don't want to be there again.

-OK.

-Best of luck.

Three, two, one, go!

Go!

Here we go. Girls in pink.

Ahhhhhh!

-Whoa!

-I've got it. I've got it.

-Megan, I'm going to tip over!

-Don't worry, baby.

-Put your foot down, put your foot down!

Slow, slow, slow.

-Knock that one down!

-Knock one down?

-In the middle, in the middle.

-In the middle? I can't.

-Through the middle.

-I'm stuck.

Foot down. Foot down. Foot down.

You might want to go faster than that.

-You can do it.

-I am stuck. How am I going to get through it?

Oh, no.

It's stuck under our wheel. The Stig is.

That's it. Go, go, go!

Go, girl!

Oh, my God!

Megan, I'm going to have no teeth left by the end of this.

That's more like it. Come on, the Pinks!

Ow, ow, ow!

Which one shall I hit?

Go round that way. Left, left, left.

I don't want to hit it too much.

You can get...you can get through there. Try and go my side more.

-You should've just...

-Oh, my God.

We're going to get stuck again.

-Yeah... Did I speak too soon? Oh, dear.

-You stupid Stigs!

-Oh, no! We can't...

-Ho-ho-ho.

-It's sandy.

-We're in a sandstorm.

Help us, someone!

We would like some assistance, please.

The pit crew cavalry is on its way,

but the girls will incur 30 seconds of time penalties.

I've got sand in my mouth.

It's a sandy sandwich.

Sophie's hilarious!

So, go fast until we get to the Stigs,

and go slow round. Brake, brake, brake, brake, brake, brake...

This is looking better.

Finally made it to the Cape of No Hope.

Watch out for the red one! Megan...

-I'm trying.

-Right-hand down, right-hand down.

I don't want to get stuck again.

Right, put your foot down. Put your foot down...

Come on, we've got this, girl!

Girl power! Straight through.

Zigzag, zigzag, that way, that way. Zigzag.

Megan, put your foot down. That's it, through.

Oh, fudge!

Oh, my God.

OMG indeed. Hold on tight, because next it's Sillymanjaro.

-No!

-I've got it.

Pretend you're in an F1 car!

I might have just lost my stomach.

Ah!

And the girls cross the line after a rather gritty run.

It's so sandy, you know?

I think it might be on my lipstick, you know?

Mmm, tasty.

So, with penalties totalling 1 minute 45 seconds,

the Pinks crawl into second place...

..with a pretty disastrous total of 6:22.

From girl power to boy and his dad power.

Honestly, he's one of my best mates,

and I know I can go to him for anything.

Argh!

And we talk quite openly about most things.

We can go for a beer... Well, gin and tonic.

Dan, Andy, how are we doing?

Yeah, he's already counting the inheritance.

DERMOT LAUGHS

All right, guys, good luck. Three, two, one, go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

The Yellows are off and are full of beans.

Come on. Up, up, up.

Speed, speed.

-This'll be interesting.

-He's so fast!

-He is fast.

Right, White Stig.

Just hit the right... Don't! Oh, my goodness.

Wowzers. Dan's got no time for Stigs.

He's taking that one with him.

Really nicely done.

Speed, speed, speed.

Straight up. Straight up.

There's gnomes coming up.

Stigs, not gnomes, Andy - Stigs.

You didn't have to hit all four of them!

I'm trying my best!

Dan not taking any prisoners on this run.

He's at the Cape of No Hope already.

Don't hit that red one, don't hit that.

I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to!

Go, go, go!

Straight through.

OK, zigzag, zigzag, zigzag, zigzag!

Go on, then, son.

And they're back up to speed.

Oh, my God...

Neatly around Cheater's Corner, what will they make of Sillymanjaro?

Whoa!

Ooh.

OK, miss that red gnome. Straight. Go, go.

That's one ride Andy won't be forgetting any time soon.

I think we've killed Stig.

Dan and Andy cross the line in a smashing two minutes.

But after smashing 12 Stigs, they find themselves in a bit of danger

with only one couple left to go.

And it's the Reds - K1 and her lorry-driving partner, K2.

I drive for a living so...

I'm a more professional driver.

I have a very heavy right foot, so, yeah.

I'd have probably shot us over to the other side of South Africa.

-Good luck, baby.

-Good luck.

Kelly, Kellie - K1, K2.

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

Three, two, one, go!

Here go the Reds, and they're off to a quiet start.

-Are we there yet, darling?

-Right, there's some Stigs.

Straight through the middle.

Whoa!

So there's going to be some Stigs around here somewhere.

Well done! Nice one, darling.

Nice one? That was five Stigs obliterated in one hit.

Will they do any better in the Cape of No Hope?

No hope.

Oh, loads of Stiggies.

Get out the way, Stigs!

Oh!

Nicely missed.

Nicely missed?

This is Stig chaos.

OK, on to Cheater's Corner.

And time for a mountain-off - K2 vs Sillymanjaro.

That's it. Up, up, up, up, up.

Woohoo!

Hoo-hoo-hoo!

On the last bend...

Beware of snakes!

Mind that Red Stig, don't hit him.

And K1 and K2 complete Off-Road Rage, and they're still smiling.

Excellent.

-That was brilliant. Brilliant.

-Go on, Reds!

Oh, I loved it.

Well, well, well, let's have a look.

At the moment, Megan and Sophie, whatever happens,

you know you're in the race-off already.

So, Kelly and Kellie.

You did a very fast time...

We hit quite a lot.

..of 1:44. But...

it WAS carnage out there.

Well done!

And you hit 17 Stigs, including four Red Stigs,

which means your overall time is 3:29, so you are in the race-off.

Oh, babe, I'm sorry.

So, automatically through to round three

are the train drivers in Green, and the Yellow team,

father and son in harmony.

Which means it's a Red and Pink showdown in the round two race-off.

Co-drivers Sophie and K1 Kelly

are about to face their bumpiest ride yet.

In charge of bumps, the Stig's nephews, all set in their buggies,

and that's not as cute as it sounds.

It all comes down to this.

One question, one terrifying lap, and only one place in round three.

I have all my faith in her because I know how clever she is.

-She's a bright spark.

-Am I?

She may not think it.

I will dig deep in my brain to find those answers.

Best of luck. Here's your question.

You both have just one lap

to give me as many of the following as you can.

Track and field athletic events

to be contested in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Three, two, one, go!

100 metres. 400 metres. 800 metres. 1,500 metres.

Discus!

Shot putt! Javelin!

100 metres.

110 metres hurdles.

Long jump! High jump!

Go, Pink! Go, Pink!

What's the one where they throw the sticks?

-The one where they throw the balls?

-1,500 metres!

3,000 metres!

Long jump! High jump!

Pole-vault!

Stig, help me out!

Long jump. Hurdles.

400 metres!

800 metres!

Slow down. Slow down.

Triple jump!

Boulders? No, erm...

200 metres!

Argh!

Argh!

Boxing?

You could have helped me out, you know.

You both had one lap to give as many of the following as you can -

track and field athletic events

to be contested in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Soph, come to you first.

You got...

six right.

How disappointing.

Kelly...

-..13 correct answers.

-Yes!

Well done!

You guys...

You ladies are through to the next round.

-Pinks, we've got to say goodbye to you.

-Aw!

-I'm sorry, girls.

-It's fine.

Stig could have helped.

He could have helped with the questions and answers.

-He needs to start talking.

-He needs to start talking.

What's the one where they throw the sticks? Erm...

I put you in the race-off twice.

Snow White And The Seven Dwarves, Frozen...

You did so good. Both times.

Slow down! Slow down!

We came as BFFLs and we're going to leave as BFFLs.

Absolutely. It's just made our bond stronger.

# That's what friends are for... #

So, three couples are now left with a mountain to climb.

Well, less a mountain, more a wall, and less a climb, more a Drive-Thru.

Which is round three.

At the end of these lanes are 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 these Peugeot 208s.

So 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 our finalists,

who get to take The Getaway Car for a spin and maybe win £10,000

and go up against this shaded -

and indeed shady - fellow.

So, three teams, three cars and one place in the final.

In lane one, the Green team, and they don't like braking.

It's Tube drivers, Trevor and Benn.

-Does my face look all right?

-No, it looks a bit too big in that.

Does it look a bit chubby?

In lane two, it's the Red team, K1 and K2 -

Kelly and, indeed, Kellie.

Let's do this.

And in lane three, there's nothing mellow about the Yellows.

Father and son Dan and Andy.

No swearing in the car.

I'll try.

You've got to kiss your mother with that mouth.

This is race director Dermot.

How are we all feeling? Good?

-Good.

-Yeah.

-Erm...

Some speed merchants here, that's for sure.

You've all earned your stripes.

This is the final hurdle.

Race one, question one.

Who took the lead role in the original West End production

of Phantom of the Opera - Michael Crawford or Michael Ball?

Three, two, one, go!

It is Michael Crawford, definitely.

Bally, Bally, Bally.

So you've got to get there.

I ain't no luvvie, that's the problem.

It's Michael Crawford, the left one.

Michael Crawford. Go, go, go!

Erm, so...

No, no, no!

Crawford. Left, left, left! Go, go, go!

Here we go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Not in the first three, though.

Yellows beat us by a mile.

Or was it Crawford?

-FRANK SPENCER VOICE:

-I'm in a spot of bother.

It was Michael Crawford who played the original lead

in the Phantom of the Opera. The Greens and the Reds got it right.

Yellows may have been first through the wall,

but they tried their luck with Michael Ball.

Wrong leading man, and they lose a life.

We need Siri in the car. Have we got Siri?

"The answer you require is..."

-We've just got to bomb down this track.

-Do you want to bet?

Quick off the mark. When you get to that second straight,

put your foot down, slow, and I'll try and work out the answer.

Remember, Dan and Andy, you were fastest by some distance,

but only one life left.

Here's your question.

On a regular dice,

what do the numbers opposite each other

always add up to - six or 7?ven?

Three, two, one, go!

-Seven.

-Seven!

I know the answer is six, so you want to go left.

-It's got to be seven.

-Why seven?

-Go seven.

Put your foot down.

-Seven! Seven!

-We're beating them as well, son...

-Here we are, number seven!

-Yeah!

-Number seven, here we go!

-He's so fast!

He's crazy fast!

Where did he get that speed from?

We're wrong. Of course we're wrong!

Idiot! Oh, I'm so sorry, baby.

That was completely my fault.

On a regular dice, the numbers opposite each other add up to seven.

The Yellows were way ahead and the fastest to the correct answer,

and the Greens chose the same.

The Reds answered incorrectly and they lose a life.

-Let's do this.

-Yup. We're doing this.

I hope you know the answer cos I probably won't.

We don't know the question!

It's like being at Uxbridge waiting for the green light, innit?

-Not really.

-Race face.

Greens, still got both lives.

Come on, then.

The Reds and Yellows can't afford any more slip-ups.

Race three, question three.

Before they adopted the euro,

the lira was the currency of which country - Italy or Spain?

Three, two, one, go.

It's Italy. I know.

-Italian.

-Italian.

-The Spanish had pesetas.

Italian lira. Go, darling. Just go!

Go on, go on! Let's beat those Greens again!

-I'm going to beat them!

-Put your foot down!

-Italia, Italia...

-It's left! It's left!

Italiano!

-Wahey!

-Losers!

We still didn't beat Yellow. Damn! We still didn't beat Yellow.

The question - before they adopted the euro,

the lira was the currency of which country - Italy or Spain?

The answer was Italy.

You all got it correct,

so it all comes down to speed.

Kelly and Kellie, you were the slowest.

You've lost your second life and you have to leave the competition.

You've been great, guys.

Come on.

Both of us are really sad to be leaving the competition now.

Welly, welly, welly!

We both did our best and...

Nicely missed!

..apart from a couple of stupid answers to questions, no regrets.

Of course we're wrong. Idiot!

You know, I'm not mad with her.

She's not mad with me and...

I am a little bit.

No, I'm not!

Well done! Nice one, darling.

We're a team and...

-And we came in this together and we'll leave together.

-Yep.

# Big girls don't cry

# Big girls don't cry... #

With the Reds gone it's just two teams left in the Drive-Thru,

and as the engines get hotter, so does the competition.

-Whatever happens.

-Yeah, good luck, son.

-Love you, man.

-Love you.

OK, Butler, drive. Drive like the wind.

Drive like the wind, dude. Drive like the wind.

Race four, question four.

Greens, still got two lives.

Yellows, consistently fast, only got one life left.

Best of luck, both of you.

True or false -

the M5 motorway runs from London to Swansea?

Three, two, one, go.

Go, go, go, go, go!

I don't know about that.

# I drive on the M5 every day! #

-The M5? No, it doesn't.

-False is right, then.

That's a big false, false, false!

Whoa! Whoa! Get in, get in.

Oh, we're way behind them.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The correct answer was false.

The M5 does not run from London to Swansea.

Both cars chose the correct answer, but as the Greens were slowest,

they lose a life, leaving one life remaining for each team.

All right, teams, it all comes down to this.

Sudden death. Yellow versus Green.

One question and only one ticket to The Getaway Chase

for the chance to win £10,000.

Cor blimey.

-All right, Butler, come on. Come on.

-Yes!

-Come on.

It's now or never, son.

Not meaning to overdramatize it,

get this wrong, and all life as we know it

will cease to exist.

Here's your question.

Which cricketing nation has won more Ashes series this century -

England or Australia?

Three, two, one, go.

Go, go, go! Floor it. He's decked it.

It's got to be England. Cos we done 2004, we done the last one....

-I even don't know what...

-I don't know. I don't know.

Let's guess England. Let's guess England.

Book it, Butler! Book it!

England. Left! Left! Left!

-No!

-England! England!

We've both gone England.

You could not have got any closer.

I don't know, man. I don't know, Woodsy.

A lot of tension down here.

So, the question was, which cricketing nation

has won more Ashes series this century - England or Australia?

You both went for England.

The correct answer was England, so it all comes down to speed.

The fastest team, qualifying for the final tonight,

going head-to-head with The Stig...

-..are the Green team.

-Ah!

-Oh! Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me? Come on.

Yellows, sorry to see you go, guys.

-Well done.

-Cheers.

Thanks, Andy. Cheers, Dan.

The Greens found that extra bit of fuel in the tank when it mattered,

beating Yellows, taking their place in tonight's final,

meaning it's the end of the road for Dan and Andy.

We are going to leave the competition,

as you'd kind of expect, but, you know,

I gave them a good run for their money.

Whoa, whoa. Get him! Get him! You're coasting, mate.

He's driven amazing throughout the competition.

Oh, my God, Dan, the roof!

I was so proud of you, genuinely so proud of you.

You could not have done any more.

Beans, son! Give it the beans!

I think our relationship has probably grown.

I feel blessed to have come on this journey.

It's been brilliant.

You didn't have to hit all four of them!

I'm trying my best!

You could not have got any closer to the final, so you've done amazing.

-Oh!

-England! England!

My dad is one of my best mates and I wouldn't have

anyone else next to me in going through this experience

-than my dad, honestly.

-You're going to make me cry now.

Going to make ME cry!

So, as night draws in, four couples are left wondering where it all went

wrong - although they actually know precisely where it all went wrong -

leaving one couple to wonder if it'll go right in the final

and wonder about the identity of this man, who we all wonder about.

MUSIC: Theme from Cheers

I'm still in utter disbelief that we are in the finals.

-It's going to take a while for it to sink in.

-Yeah.

-It's so surreal.

Oh, my God. That's awesome. Oh, that's awesome.

This experience has been

the most incredible experience I've had in a long, long time.

I can't think of anything else I've done that's been like this.

-Floor it! Come on!

-I'm not even going to get arrested!

It's a YOLO moment, as my nephew taught me.

I still don't know what that stands for but he...

-You only live once.

-Oh, OK, it's one of them, then.

Book it, Butler. Book it!

Currently, we drive the Metropolitan line.

You're going to be getting back on that train going...

-"OK."

-"Bored."

Let's go!

It's not going to be the same again.

They're all over the place!

I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd be going up against The Stig.

He doesn't talk to anybody. He doesn't smile, laugh.

I'm terrified, to be honest with you.

I've just got to go for it.

It's just got to be pedal to the metal and just try and do the do.

This man's going to be fine. He's going to be fine.

And so we face the final round, The Getaway Chase.

Trevor and Benn have to drive as fast as they can

twice around this track...

in this.

It's The Getaway Car, and it has two speeds - fast and very fast.

They'll need to treat it with care and give it the respect it deserves.

On one level, the challenge facing Trevor and Benn

couldn't be more simple. Each time they pass under a money gate,

they bank that amount of cash.

However, just seconds after they take off,

The Stig gets a green light and then he starts hunting them down.

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

But if they get to the finish line first,

they bank the £10,000 cheque.

Yeah, but here is the rub.

The Stig will be driving a very nice car.

Actually, it's a very, very nice car.

A very, very nice, fast car.

Behold.

With a top speed of 183mph and 0-60 in four seconds,

the Aston Martin Vanquish is significantly quicker

than The Getaway Car.

So, to make this a fair contest,

The Getaway Car pit crew have worked out that if Trevor and Benn have

a ten-second head start and drive The Getaway Car perfectly,

the £10,000 could be theirs.

So, two Tube-driving best friends versus one Stig -

all they have to do is mind the gap.

Trevor and Benn await their fate.

We are professional train drivers. We deal with all the elements.

-Rain.

-Yeah.

-Sleet.

-Yeah.

-Snow.

-Yeah.

-Wind.

-I've never dealt with a Stig on the track, though.

-No!

Will they be able to hold their nerve and get away from The Stig?

He is intimidating. Look at him.

-I can't.

-Don't you worry about him.

Just, literally, drive for your life.

£10,000 on the line.

And only seconds, speed, and The Stig in their way.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

And they are off.

Trevor gets off to a great start

and he needs to put some space between himself and The Stig.

And The Stig begins his chase, and he is not hanging around.

That's a grand.

Little left, little right, little right. That's two.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Book it. Book it. Go. Come on, Butler, really slam it.

They're on the straight now, and The Stig is after them.

One lap complete. Not much braking going on.

Don't worry about The Stig, he's nowhere near us. Nowhere near us.

Go, go, go. Go on, Butler, you're doing awesome, dude.

Awesome. Awesome, Butler!

You're off the train! Six grand.

We've got eight grand. We've got four grand apiece.

Trevor's fast and wild on that corner, but the Stig's catching up.

-Floor it. Floor it. Floor it. Come on!

-Come on.

-Come on! Come on!

Will they get away?

-Come on! Come on!

-Come on!

And they've done it!

-Get in there!

-Get in!

-Get in there!

-Oh, my God!

-Go on, my son!

-Whoo!

That's two very happy Tube drivers.

Reckless abandon got them away from The Stig,

and they take home the jackpot of £10,000.

Butler, you drove insane, dude.

I beat The Stig! WE beat The Stig!

-That is insane. We beat The Stig!

-We beat The Stig.

The Stig came close but, for only the second time this series,

he couldn't quite catch them up before the chequered flag.

Well done to the guys in green.

-Come here!

-I'm picking him up!

-How do you feel?

-Mad.

Mad. Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, blrrp, brrp, bup mad.

What sort of emotions go through your mind when you're out there,

when you're driving?

Well, you're just trying to focus so much and trying to keep that line,

it's like... Everything just goes boom.

Trevor, Benn, congratulations.

10,000 smackers, chaps. Go and celebrate with the guys.

-What a show.

-Super exciting.

Dermot, thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

All right, guys? Come on, all the way along,

-all the way along!

-Whoo!

Have a look at that, Benjamin!

-Ten Gs!

-What a wad!

-Get in there!

-Oh, my God!

This week's champions, Trevor and Benn.

So, Trevor and Benn, most definitely this week's Getaway Car champions.

We're back next week with The Stig and more brave couples ready to put

their love and driving skills on the line.

Say goodbye, Stig.

So rude.

I mean, I'm embarrassed for you.
