Episode 9 The Getaway Car

Welcome to Cape Town, South Africa,

for the ultimate relationship road test.

Where two heads are better than one and sometimes

two wheels are better than four.

Belt up! This is The Getaway Car.

Yeah, don't ask me how I did that. Not entirely sure.

-Go!

-Come on!

Stop! Stop! Argh!

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

Oh, my God!

Love apparently conquers all.

But then, love has never had to get into a car and attempt to

conquer the extreme driving tests facing our couples today.

They'll need to cooperate...

-Wrong! Turning right!

-..co-ordinate...

OK, let's go...

..and stay composed...

You idiot!

But eventually, one couple will conquer all -

well, the four other teams -

and earn themselves a spin in this.

The Getaway Car.

Driving it could see our winners pocket £10,000, but only if they

can conquer both their demons and this demon driver.

Top Gear's The Stig. Hello there.

He takes no prisoners,

largely because he drives too fast to pick any up.

Right, pull out with due care and attention.

Let's get this show on the road.

Ready for the drive of their lives are today's five couples,

including - looking fierce and competitive

with their eyes on the prize -

fiercely competitive brothers Sam and Ollie from Surrey.

Ooh, competitive!

From south London, fun-loving mother-and-daughter duo

Eileen and Martina. # Come on, Eileen! #

And Martina.

And from Merseyside, another mother-and-daughter duo -

Cathy and boxer Sophie.

No hitting below the fan belt, please, Sophie.

This could get tasty.

Ladies and gentlemen. Today's teams.

Stand by for car-based tomfoolery.

So, first to grab life by the gear stick and take on

Hazard Highway, it's Team Pink,

made up of best chums Dean and Steve from south Wales.

-We've been best friends for 20 years, I was his best man.

-Yeah.

-And we're now business partners for the last seven years.

-Brilliant.

-What do you do?

-We own a second-hand retail car sales.

-It had to happen eventually!

-It had to happen eventually, yes.

-We've finally got car dealers on the show.

-We've arrived!

It's not as bad up here as what I'd thought.

-It won't hit the drop.

-No, I know.

Ahead and currently very much below Dean and Steve

is a driving course filled with extremely testing obstacles that all

five teams most complete as quickly as they can.

But only the three quickest will head automatically into round two.

So, here we go.

No breaks, no breaks. Don't break, don't break...

All right, let's put it to the test.

-So, we've got a lovely little pink Volkswagen here.

-It's per lesson.

-Sell it to me.

-OK.

-She's obviously a one-lady owner...

-Yeah?

-..who was a princess..

-Yeah.

Does it really look like... There we go. Lovely jubbly.

Keep it in, keep it in. You are good, you are good.

You are good, you are good, you are good, you are good!

She has only done 280,000 kilometres four times over.

Tyre kicker! Tyre kicker. See, these are the ones you can't sell cars to.

Slowly, slowly, slowly!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Go, go, go, go, go! Stop.

These boys think they're the real deal,

but if they bring that car back

with as much as a scratch on it, there'll be hell to pay.

Well, they may not bring it back at all, because next up for our

car-dealing comrades, it's the poorly engineered Bridge of Doom.

Right, let the car drive itself. Don't turn that wheel.

-This isn't easy.

-Don't look down.

-I can't look down anyway.

And what goes up, must come down.

And there's the obligatory bowel crash, always feels good.

Good time for the boys so far,

but they've arrived at the Human Sat Nav.

-Right, stop.

-How are we going to do this, then?

-Right, just go straight.

-Love it.

When they got into the box, the first thing they said was,

"How're we going to do this now then?"

Left, left, left a bit!

Left a bit, left a bit. Keep going straight, keep going left.

Left, left, left, left, left! One more, keep going, left, left, left.

Right. Right, gentle right. Keep going. Slowly, right. Hold, hold.

Right, right again, right, right! Right, right, go on.

It's turning into a very good test drive.

Left, left, left, left, left!

-Oh, the pink Welsh dragon's making very short work of this!

-Stop!

-Goggles off!

-Come on, Car Wash!

And after a quick clean-up, Car Football.

Stop, stop, stop!

Right, left, left, left.

Make like Pontypridd Town and get that ball in the goal.

Go for it!

Great shot, but an incredible save.

That inanimate goalie watched the ball all the way.

Go right around that side.

The goalkeeper's down, the defenders are down...

A goal! And we're away.

Get going, go! Foot down!

Now full throttle to the finish line.

You make me want to like you. Do not spin off, do not spin off!

Do not spin off! I told you not to spin off!

Idiot, reverse!

HE LAUGHS

You idiot! Why did you do something wrong?

And there's the chequered flag - a time of 3:30.

That is a Hazard Highway course record.

It was held by sisters Sasha and Melanie from Northern Ireland...

Oh, my word, talk to me!

But Dean and Steve just smashed it by 33 seconds despite their

super-cool spin.

I heard in my ear, "Don't spin it, don't spin it, don't spin it,

"don't spin it, don't spin it, don't spin it."

You spun it.

-We didn't treat it like a lady.

-No, you did not.

So, that's the first of five teams to finish.

What a way to start the day! Who is next?

Fine mess you've got me into.

Why, it's South Londoners Eileen and her daughter Martina, of course.

Despite Eileen having 30 years' more driving experience,

it's Martina behind the wheel.

How come she's driving?

Er, I really don't know, Dermot. I think I'm the safest driver.

-So is she quite a reckless driver?

-Oh, my goodness, Dermot, you wait.

HORN HONKS

-OK, yay.

-So, Martina's reckless, then. This should be good.

Argh!

-As long as you keep steady and slow...

-No, no.

-You're going to be keeping both hands on the wheel.

-No, no.

No, no, no. I'm not going to be doing that,

-I'm going to be putting my foot down.

-Woo!

# Here we go! #

You're supposed to get your legs through there.

Yep, yep. Concentrate, concentrate.

Back. Come right back so that you can see the things at the end.

Mum, thanks.

# Here we go! #

Oh, dear.

-Are you OK?

-# Here we go! #

-I've got it now, yup.

-Good, you're doing well.

-I don't feel comfortable in this.

-Go on.

-Right, don't say anything...

I won't say anything.

I'll just remind you that I paid for you to learn how to drive.

Yeah, maybe we should find out how reckless the next two teams

are going to be. In Red we have young couple Shaan and Hannah.

Oh, just celebrated their two-year anniversary, no less.

-Standing by?

-I'm standing by.

-Do you want out?

No, no, no, I'm all right. Just don't kill me.

I'd describe Hannah as being lovely all round, a friendly character.

Always smiling,

always looking to kind of get the best out of everyone.

He's really, really generous and loving and I met him on a train

and I'm quite happy - everything

I could ever want in one man on a train.

It's great, so...

Right, that's enough of that.

And in Green we've got Cathy and her daughter Sophie.

Let's have it.

They claim to be best friends,

which is sensible cos Sophie is a champion boxer.

So, what sort of standard are you? What's the...?

National champion at junior.

National champion at youth.

Number two in the English Championship.

-So we've probably got to watch ourselves around you, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-Yeah!

-Fair enough.

HORN HONKS

Go!

SOPHIE SCREAMS

Woohoo!

Flipping Nora.

Right, so here's where the Yellows struggled.

No problem for Team Red.

Great job, great job. Nice and gently.

What about the Greens?

SOPHIE WHIMPERS

Yes, a few more oohs, but they did it, too.

See, Martina, it can be done!

-Go, go.

-That's it, we're off!

Oh, my God!

-Don't worry about it, just go.

-All right.

Thank you, Martina!

Now, imagine if she's just now ultra super fast.

Come on, attack it, that's what we want to see.

-Go on, up a bit more.

-Mum? Please.

-Please.

-All right. I will shut up.

-I didn't say that.

-I will shut up.

Yeah, when I said attack it, I mean attack it, you know? Like...

..attack it!

Meanwhile, the Reds are taking it to the bridge.

-That's not scary at all, blue sky.

-OK.

-Whoa, yeah. You all right?

-I'm all right.

It's all very calm and polite.

"No, after you." "No, after you."

"I love you." "No, I love you."

# Say my name

# Sun shines through the rain... #

-That was a barrel.

-That barrel has a name, Hannah.

You just ran over Barry.

MUSIC: Funeral March by Chopin

Barry Barrel. RIP.

-Bit more acceleration.

-Cathy and Sophie are onto the Human Sat Nav.

Let's hope it doesn't come to blows.

That's it, acceleration. Left!

Mum!

-I drive a roadsweeper.

-Do you?

-Heavy goods, yeah.

-You HGV?

-Yeah.

-So have you always driven?

-Yeah, I've got all my licences.

OK, so what else have you done?

Well, the hardest vehicle I've drove is a stretch Hummer in London.

-Will that help you round here?

-Yeah.

Right, right, right. It's right. Keep... Stop. You need to stop.

We've hit the stones. Reverse.

-You've stalled.

-Just tell me where I am, Sophie.

We're in a pile of stones, that's where we are. Stop!

You're reversing too fast. Right, you need to full lock it right.

-Forward?

-Full lock it right and go right!

-Forward?

No, we're going right, so full lock the steering...

-Are we going forward or back?

-Oh, we're going forward, yeah.

-Thank you very much.

-Right, full lock the steering wheel.

-Right?

-Right, yeah!

Wow. The wheels came off that relationship really quick.

Left, left, left, down.

More left!

More left! Right, we're in the pit. Stop.

Right, you need to turn it right. Right!

You know what right is!

Straighten up, it's fine. I'm soaking, but it's good.

That's karma for you.

-Good job, good job.

-The Reds are playing ball and so is the ball.

It's a cracking goal and they're off to the chequered flag,

you lovebirds, you.

Flat out, flat out, flat out! Go!

That's my lad!

There's the finish line in a strong time of 4:37.

-Sorry it was so rough.

-It's fine.

What a gent.

I'll shut up.

Great news, people - the Yellows have reached the Bridge of Doom.

Things are looking up.

Please, you're there, you're there, you're there.

I can see you, you're there.

You're not there.

There you go, and I didn't say a word.

Ah!

Oh, God, oh, God!

I think I need some help.

I think we're all going to need help after this.

The blown tyre means a pit-stop penalty of 30 seconds.

Could it get any worse?

Over onto the footie pitch and the Greens are going for gold.

Go round.

Full speed.

Carry on, carry on!

Goal!

She'll floor this now, watch.

And there's the finish line.

Cathy and Sophie register seven minutes exactly,

which is the slowest time so far.

That's how you do it, baby!

I can see why you're a boxer - there was a little steel in there.

You were pretty chilled all the way round and you went, "Right!"

Finally, the Yellows have made it to Human Sat Nav.

Eileen's in charge now, so I imagine things will speed up considerably.

Veer to the right a bit. Right, turn right.

Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop.

Turn... Go reverse. Reverse. Slowly, Tina, slowly.

Don't go... Where are you going now?

Where are you going now? Come on.

Straighten up your wheels, yeah? And drive off.

-Straight, yeah?

-Yep.

-Turn your wheels left.

-To the left?

-No, stop, stop!

-Mum, calm down.

-Turn...

-Don't shout.

DERMOT EXHALES

Would anyone mind if I pressed fast forward?

Seven minutes later, it's Car Football.

This is where the Yellows will shine, I can feel it in my water!

Properly!

Go! No, no, no, stop. Reverse.

Fast forward again?

-I can help you now.

-Yeah, help me now.

Move the ball to the right!

Go, bash!

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

Go on, get in there!

Straight...

-Yes!

-Go!

Gooooooooolazio!

Martina!

-Argh!

-Woohoo!

Martina, slow down!

Here comes the finish line, and it's another course record.

Martina and Eileen have sealed their place in Getaway history with

a mammoth 25:53.

Completely fair to say that a sloth on the back of a slug

pulled by a snail would have completed the course quicker.

So, four of the five teams have made it round Hazard Highway.

Let's take a look at the leaderboard.

Only the fastest three teams qualify directly for the next round,

so Pinks and Reds are definitely through.

The Yellows are bottom, facing the race-off,

and they're going for a ride in these.

The Greens face an agonising wait to discover their fate.

And that fate is in the hands of today's final team, the Blues.

Woo! Best till last, Sam, best till last.

From Surrey, this is marine mammal observer Sam,

which we THINK means he likes watching Free Willy 1,

2 and 3, and his older brother Oli,

whose favourite finger is that finger there.

We want to be, basically,

make sure we're solid through to the next round.

-We don't want to go too crazy.

-Yeah.

And then we'll leave the big guns for the next round.

I'd get the big guns out now, boys - you've got to beat the Greens' time

of seven minutes to avoid a race-off. Can they do it?

Well, let's see!

Focus, Sam, focus.

-Cue determined music.

-Oh, my heart's going.

MUSIC: Lose Yourself by Eminem

HORN HONKS

OLI SCREAMS

Line it up, line it up!

That's it, you've got that. Go, go, go!

That's it, Sam, that's it. Keep it going.

Keep her straight, keep her straight. Lovely, mate, lovely.

-Lovely recovery.

-Come on!

-Come on, let's go!

Oh, nice work.

Get it up, get it up, get it up, get it up, get it up!

Yeah, let's go! Loved that, Sam, get her up!

-Bit quick up there.

-Ah!

-Whoa!

-That's not too bad.

-Go, go, go!

Not too bad, he says. But then it's not his car, is it?

Different class, Sam. Steady up here.

Are we going first? Take the first one.

OK, we need to prepare this slow. Bend her round, bend her round.

Bend her.

CAR WHINES

Whoa!

There goes Barry Barrel. And his brother, Darrel.

This is different class, mate, this is different class.

One thing to know about these boys,

they are obsessed with the British class system.

Different class, Sam. Brake, brake, brake.

Eyes down, eyes down, eyes down. OK, forward, forward.

The brothers are going for it.

They're at the Human Sat Nav at only 1:15! Nice.

Forward, forward, forward. Left, left, left, left, left!

Keep going. You're about to hit the bottom of the ramp.

-Left, left on the roundabout.

-Yep.

-Keep going forward.

-Right, right, right, hard right, hard right!

-OK.

-Harder right!

What? What? What? I can't...

Harder right. That's class, mate! Forward. Left, left, left, left!

Forward, forward! Right, right, right, right, right, right!

Right! Forward, forward, forward, forward!

-Right, right, right, right, right!

-What the hell?

-Take them off!

Stop, stop!

Take your things off, goggles off!

Go, left, left! Well done, Sam!

Come on, buddy. Windscreen on, windscreen on.

# Car Wash

# Whoa, whoa, whoa! #

This goes in first time, it's going to be a great time.

Get her, get her, get her in!

-Yeah, different class goal!

-Get in!

And they have only gone and done it. Take a look at that time.

That really is different class.

Let's go, let's go. Put it down, put it down!

Different class! Come on!

Yes, come on!

-I think that... That's us through!

-Come on!

Woohoo!

-Oh, Sam, that was different gravy.

-Oh!

-That was different gravy.

I'm not sure what happened there, but we lived.

I'll tell you what happened - you boys nicked the course record.

Sam and Oli completed all the obstacles in only 2:45

thrashing Dean and Steve's

short-held record by 45 seconds.

Even The Stig's blown away.

Yeah, right. He literally couldn't care less.

Love it, Sam. Great work, buddy, great work.

A final look at the leaderboard,

and it's Sam and Oli storming to the top.

That means there's only room for one mother and daughter duo

in this Cape Town.

It's Greens versus Yellows in the race-off.

Well, listen...

Sophie and Eileen,

you're going to have two laps with The Stig's nephews.

Their job is to drive round this track as fast as they can

and make you quite scared.

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

Whoever gives me the most correct answers,

your team goes through to the next round.

Whoever gives me the fewest, sayonara.

-OK?

-Cool.

-Yeah.

-Time for the race-off. Whoop-whoop!

ENGINE REVS

Aaah!

Here is your question.

Name as many of the following as you can -

the 20 celebrities with the highest number of Twitter followers.

Three, two, one, go!

Here we go, two laps of the track to reel off the

top 20 celebrities with the highest number of Twitter followers.

Kim Kardashian.

Justin Bieber.

Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian.

Erm...

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

Keep them coming, girls.

Argh, I can't think!

Wayne Rooney's wife.

I doubt that's on the birth certificate.

Ah!

Erm... Um...

-Cheryl Cole.

-Different surname, same person.

Martina, where are you? You would reel this off.

I can't think!

I doubt she screams like that in the boxing ring.

What's that girl? Jessie J.

Come on, ladies. Last push.

And it's over.

That was, let's be honest, terrible.

Cheryl Cole.

You've said that already three times. Still wrong.

Here's a question. Name as many of the following as you can.

The 20 celebrities with the highest number of Twitter followers.

Eileen...

You got one right.

That's good.

You could have gone with Katy Perry.

Barack Obama.

-Really?

-You could have gone with Obama. Yeah.

Remind me to Twitter him when I get home.

Sophe, you're not sure, are you?

SHE GIGGLES

You got two correct answers.

So you're still in the competition.

Congratulations, you two, you're still in.

-Ladies, so sorry.

-Aw...

-It's been fun.

-Come on, thanks, ladies.

-Give us a hug.

Martina will be resubmitting her driving test very, very soon.

CLUNK!

Oh, God!

You know what? We are disappointed

-but it's been a real fun experience.

-Yeah, certainly.

So, Eileen and Martina are gone.

What's done is done. There's no point living in the past.

It's time to live in the future... in the shape of round two!

Round two takes place out here,

and it involves our couples racing these beautiful creatures.

Look at that. Hang on a second.

Has that got a puncture?

HISSING

-No.

-OK. Thanks, buddy.

In Off-Road Rage, the four remaining teams will be at the helm

of untamed all-terrain buggies,

hoping to clock the quickest time

around this treacherous off-road track.

I can definitely hear something. Are you sure it doesn't have a puncture?

Definitely no puncture.

To make life harder,

our teams must avoid collisions with Stiggy statues.

Knocking over a white one incurs a five-second penalty,

a red one ten seconds,

and should they get stuck and need assistance,

they'll receive a 30-second pit-stop penalty.

As usual, the slowest two teams will have to race off

for a place in the next round.

Sorry, I can definitely hear something. What is that?

Ah! Just a deadly snake.

I thought it was a puncture. It'll be fine, then.

First to climb into the belly of the beast,

it's car salesmen and awkward fist-pumpers Dean and Steve.

-Dean, you're looking very nervous.

-I am!

-Was it the spinning incident?

Don't spin it.

There probably will be lots of shouting. And bawling.

And if I am allowed to hit him, I will hit him.

And I'll hit him back!

Listen, best of luck, all right?

Three, two, one - don't spin it - go!

Team Pink were the record-holders for about ten minutes in round one.

We expect good things here.

Stigs coming up, Stigs coming up. Left, left, left.

-Dean choosing to hit the left Stigs. That's not unusual.

-Keep left!

Far so far.

Right, right, right!

Left, left, left!

Oh, no, Dean!

When I said it was going well so far...

Come on, concentrate. Concentrate.

Here comes the Cape of No Hope.

Go right. Round here.

Keep left.

Dean needs to concentrate.

-Concentrate, Dean, concentrate.

-That's what I said.

HE MOUTHS

Left, left, left.

Left, left, left, or just straight through all of them.

Concentrate, Dean, concentrate.

GEARS CRUNCH

Oh, nice gear change around Cheetah's Corner.

Up and over Sillymanjaro.

And Dean's avoided a red Stig. Miracles really do happen.

Floor it, floor it, go!

He is kicking himself.

I could tell you were just so wound up before you even started.

Trying to avoid him. I should have just gone at him.

Your time is a not-bad 2:22

before penalties.

Ten white, three red gives you penalties of 80 seconds.

120... So 3:42 is the time to beat, lads.

They'll do that.

-Come on, you.

-Let's be confident.

Let's go and watch. Reds are up next, Shaan and Hannah.

We're going to have to obliterate the first right and second left.

Shaan, Hannah,

I know you two were incredibly polite in the first round.

He likes to go fast, and I sometimes have to hang on to the handle

in the car. I can't lie, I have done it.

But, apart from that, it's tolerable driving. I haven't died yet.

Not dying is important, so hopefully, I can achieve that,

and you know, if I come away, if I'm able to walk away from this,

or be rolled away, I'll be happy.

-Best of luck, all right?

-Thanks.

-Cheers, Dermot.

-Three, two, one, go!

MUSIC: You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oates

-Here come our perfect couple.

-OK, Stigs coming up.

-What do I want, the white one?

-Yep, take it easy.

Seek right. Stig on the left.

Go left?

-It's a proper rally, isn't it? Very precise.

-Yeah.

-I'm going to hit right.

-Yep. Now left, left.

Great so far. Classic Reds.

-How are you feeling?

-All right.

-I like South Africa.

Get out of my way, Stig. Damn you. Damn you.

Ah, looks like Shaan and Hannah have found a new friend. How sweet.

What a lovely... Oh.

-Right, two Stigs.

-Oh, no.

-Go left, left, left, left, left. Go left.

Left, hard left.

To the left! Great, good job. Really good job.

-Zip around Cheetah's Corner...

-Left.

-..and up Sillymanjaro.

-So, left.

Left.

-Good job.

-And here comes the finish line.

It was fast. It was fast, wasn't it?

Ooh, you're not wrong, Dean, that was fast.

Team Red go straight to the top of the leaderboard with

a total time of 2:55.

Next it's Team Green - Cathy and her wonderful, calm, friendly daughter.

Oh, and she's a boxing champion.

Not the face, not the face!

I'm not worried how it's going to go. I'm 100% confident in me mum.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome. Just prove it!

Cathy and Sophie, how are we feeling?

Scarier than being in a fight!

Listen, I know that last time you were in the bottom two so, Cathy,

need a better result this time round. Best of luck, all right?

-Thank you.

-Three, two, one, go.

-Go! Whoa!

Here we go. Come on, girls.

Go, faster, faster, faster. It's all right.

-Two Stigs down.

-Watch you don't get the roof!

Two more Stigs down. SCREAMING

Over this side, this side.

-Faster, faster.

-Four Stigs down.

For someone who drives HGVs on public streets,

you'd hope Cathy was a bit more careful.

Let's see if she can get round the cape carefully.

-Ooh!

-That's the worst feeling.

This is the worst feeling, Dermot, in the world.

-This would break your heart.

-Watch that red.

Oh, who's counting? Actually, we are.

Right, we need to make up some time.

-Listen to your daughter, Cathy.

-Take this side.

Not both of them!

-Oooh!

-Oh, it's carnage. Absolute carnage.

Hang on, you missed one, go back.

Very fast up Sillymanjaro.

-Keep this side.

-Big finish, here we go.

-Go, go, go, go.

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

You knocked over 16 Stig heads - which might be a record -

-including three reds.

-16?

-Yes!

-Oh, God.

One minute 35 on penalties, giving you an overall time of 4:23.

-Slow so far, so you're definitely in the race-off, OK?

-OK, Yeah.

But, who is going to join you? Let's go and find out.

Still on a high from their record-breaking Round One,

it's Team Blue - brothers Sam and Oli.

-I think it's pretty clear we want to win this.

-We're in it to win it.

Also, it was our older brother's wedding two years ago, and we

haven't bought him anything yet, so we probably should get him

a wedding present, if we win some money.

Tea towels and a nice toaster. Job done.

Three, two, one, go!

-Let's go, brother!

-Come on!

Flat out from the off.

Who would bet against these boys after their stunning Hazard Highway?

Nice turning, brother, nice.

Very good, Sam, very good.

Straight through that. Straight through the...

Left, left, left, left!

That's it. Love it.

Hit the one on the right. Oh, that's good, mate.

-Pretty fast.

-This is Sam driving. Of course it's fast!

Stick to the left. No, right, right, right, right!

Tricky red Stig ahead. This is where Dean crashed.

-Right, right, right!

-ALL: Oooh!

Is that the same tree?

Back you go, back you go. Yeah, you got that. Now, let's go for it!

Excellent, Sam!

-They're OK.

-That's all right, mate. We're still in this.

We're still good.

-Go left, go left.

-But that steering does not look right.

-It's all right, mate. Bend it round.

-It's not going!

That's fine, mate, that's fine.

Hard right.

-Oh, it's still doing it.

-Oh, no!

-You don't realise how hard this is.

-Yeah, nice, Sam.

-Nearly there.

-Back you go, back you go, don't worry.

-Actually, do worry.

Shall we take a penalty? What do you think, Sam?

-Oh, man!

-Oh, God!

-LAUGHTER

-We've had an absolute shocker here.

So close, yet so far. The pit stop crew are in to fix the steering.

-Oh, no!

-Oh, someone's happy.

Let's go, brother.

Straight through the white. Yeah, well played, well played.

And it's over. Different class to Round One.

-Sam and Oli.

-It's an absolute shocker.

-Yeah.

Lot of white Stigs, lot of red Stigs, lot of...

crashing off the side, and a pit-stop penalty,

means your total time is 5:33, so you are the slowest today.

Definitely in the race-off with Cathy and Sophie. Righto. OK?

So, what a turnaround.

The speedy brother, Oli, finds himself battling for

a place in Round Three against race-off veteran Sophie.

The pair must give multiple answers to one simple question,

while surviving a white-knuckle hot lap, courtesy of

The Stig's rowdy nephews in these 80mph Polaris off-roaders.

Rather them than me.

I think you can see it from the look of our faces,

we're devastated by this performance

-and we massively want to go through to round three.

-Yeah.

We'll take a long, hard look in the mirror at ourselves, I think, after that.

But we can get through.

-Ah!

-Anything can happen at this stage.

Anybody can go through.

But I'm feeling confident in Sophie, yeah, I think she can do it.

You have one lap, give as many of the following as you can -

mammals you will currently find at London Zoo.

Three, two, one, go.

Lion! Zebra!

Buffalo!

Elephant!

Hippopotamus!

Zebras!

Strong start, keep them coming.

Er...wolves.

Erm...

Bears! Birds!

MUSIC: Talk To The Animals by Sammy Davis Jr

Eels!

I'm not sure eels are mammals.

What's a mammal?

Oh, don't ask him.

Giraffe! Er...

Er...tiger!

Rhino, lion!

Eels, erm...

Give up with the eels.

Erm...monkeys, gorillas.

-Now we're talking.

-Donkeys.

Monkey!

Camel!

Er...

Elephant.

Spiders...argh!

Dogs.

Ah, yes, people visit the zoo from far and wide to look at the dog.

SHE SCREAMS

Erm... Come on!

Mammoth!

That would have been correct 5,000 years ago.

Last few seconds, Sophie, use it wisely.

Pigeons!

Or just shout pigeons.

SHE SCREAMS

Come on, Oli.

-So...all gets a bit tense now, doesn't it?

-Oh, yeah.

You start thinking of round three.

OK, here's the question, you have one lap to give me as many of the following as you can -

mammals you will currently find at London Zoo.

Love the fact, Soph, that halfway round...

-SHE LAUGHS

-I started shouting spiders.

You did. You did.

-You also asked the Stig, who doesn't talk...

-Oh, yeah!

..what a mammal was.

Oli, for your part, thank you very much

for the valuable answer of mammoth.

THEY LAUGH

-Head was blank at that point.

-I'm sure a mammal.

At one point.

At one point but...

Mortified.

Sophie...

you got six correct answers.

Well done.

Oli...

you got...

-eight correct answers.

-Aw.

Still in the game, congratulations.

Cathy and Soph, it ends here.

Thank you so much, guys, well done.

I was very disappointed, the way I drove round this course,

but I've just enjoyed the whole experience.

It's been good fun.

SCREAMING

Do it again. All over again.

Yeah, I would, too.

But I'd bring somebody else with me.

Right, you need to full-lock it right.

-Forward?

-No, we're going right.

You know what right is!

# Big girls cry When their heart is breaking. #

So, three couples now remain on track for a place in the final

and that track is full of walls -

wall-to-wall with walls that they have to drive through.

It's time for the Drive-Thru.

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

When the lights go green, our contestants have to race as fast as they dare

through what they think is the right answer in these Volkswagen Polos.

They'll need to be right and they will need to be fast

because at the end of each race one team loses a life.

Lose two lives and that is it - game over.

At the end, we are left with just one couple, our finalists,

ready to get behind the wheel of The Getaway Car, potentially win £10,000

and go head-to-head with this covert operator.

Welcome to round three, teams.

-Well, all excited?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, can't wait.

-All ready to do some high-class driving through walls?

-THEY LAUGH

-Whoop, whoop.

In lane one, we've got the Blues.

Sam and Oli just survived the race-off

after a disastrous Round Two by their standards.

How are we feeling, boys?

-Very good, thanks, Dermot.

-Great.

In lane two, its the Reds, Shaan and Hannah.

-Hello, Shaan.

-Hiya, how you doing?

-Hello, Hannah, how we doing?

-I'm hanging on.

The most polite team we've probably ever had.

I just want to say you are allowed to drive through the walls,

just in case you were, like, worried about that.

And in lane three, Team Pink, Dean and Steve.

Dean, you were so nervous last time.

How are you feeling this time?

Well, I'm OK with the driving,

it's just our general knowledge, unfortunately.

Come on, guys. Listen, I have to say, there's a lot of depreciation in those cars,

-so we're going to leave the forecourt, all right? So, be careful with them.

-You're learning, Dermot.

All right, listen, guys, best of luck.

Race one...

question one...

in Discover Cornwall's 2015 food guide,

which dish was voted Britain's favourite -

fish and chips or bangers and mash?

Three, two, one, go.

-Oh, no.

-Oh, mate.

The Blues Brothers have stalled!

When you've only got two lives,

to stall on the start line is catastrophic.

-It's by the sea and obviously...

-There's fish.

But would it be bangers and mash?

-Unlucky, Sam. All right, mate. Let's think about the answer now.

-Could be worse.

-I reckon fish and chips. British. We're British, eh?

-Left, fish and chips.

Got to go for it. We've got to go fish and chips. Got to go for it.

Woo!

Ah.

-We've got to go for bangers, otherwise we stand no chance here.

-Yeah, I completely agree.

-The boys went bangers and mash.

-All right, let's hope they got it wrong.

-This could be what it's all about.

So, the Blues' journey continues to unravel.

Their only hope here is if the answer is bangers and mash.

But it isn't.

It's fish and chips.

So, Sam and Oli lose a life, and can't afford to lose another.

Don't worry, mate, it's gone.

We're good. You're good.

OK, race two, question two,

George Orwell's novel which predicts

a Big Brother surveillance state is given which name -

1984 or 1988?

Three, two, one, go.

Sam, I think I know this one. I think it's 1984, Sam. Let's go, buddy.

-No idea.

-No idea.

-I wouldn't have a clue.

I don't even know who they are.

Definitely the left. I've read it. I loved it.

-Do you want to go left or right?

-'84, '84.

Absolutely certain.

Come on! I think... Oh, that's going to be close.

I think we beat them there.

It's going to be close.

God, I was putting my body weight on the pedal like

-it was going to make me go faster.

-You're just such a good driver.

I wouldn't have a clue.

Absolutely no idea.

I couldn't even... I couldn't even... George who?

Aw!

-That was close.

-That was tight.

Question was...

George Orwell's novel which predicts a Big Brother surveillance state is given which name - 1984 or 1988?

You all went for 1984,

so you're all correct,

which means it all comes down to speed.

And the slowest...

by a whisker...

..was Sam and Oli,

which means you guys are leaving us.

Cheers, brother. Unlucky, buddy.

Sorry, guys, and it was so close, as well.

-Thank you.

-Cheers.

-At least I got off the start that time.

-Yeah, I know!

It was a painful way to lose at the end there, I mean,

that seemed close.

Hard to believe but our Round One record-holders are leaving us

as they were the slowest by four hundredths of a second.

I would blame myself but Oli can't drive.

-Well...

-And there's not a lot else - I mean, what am I to do?

What can I say to that?

You can't have a go at me, can you?

But, you know, we've got a track record.

You know, that's worth more than the money to me.

They can't take that away from us.

-Well, they can if they beat us.

-That's true.

-Come on!

-Yes, buddy!

-We've had some highs and some lows and, yeah...

-Mostly highs.

..better being on a rollercoaster than stuck in a traffic jam, I say, any day.

# I tell you one thing We're better together. #

And then there were two.

The Reds have been rock-solid, the Pinks shown flashes of brilliance.

Two lives each. This is anyone's game.

Race three, question three -

true or false -

the biggest-selling album from a motion picture

is Saturday Night Fever.

Three, two, one, go.

-Not as fast as that.

-It was fast.

Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta.

I wouldn't say that's the biggest-selling album,

I'd say that's false.

-True.

-Biggest-selling, what was it, album?

Go true, left. True, left.

Drive... Drive, drive, drive, drive. Oh, he's beat us. They've beat us.

Too slow. Stop, stop, stop.

-Answer the question, Hannah.

-They went false, right.

So, it's one or the other.

Ducked you then, mate.

-Well, I can't do it all the time.

-He ducked you.

-He done you like a kipper.

-Well, I flew him in the last one.

Done you like a kipper!

As it stands, you've both got both your lives left.

Someone is going to lose a life here.

True or false - the biggest-selling album from a motion picture

is Saturday Night Fever.

Pinks, you went for false,

Reds went for true,

so, someone is about to lose a life.

Correct answer...

was false.

Damn.

It's actually The Bodyguard.

-What?!

-So, Shaan, Hannah, you lose a life, OK?

-What?

-So, helmets on...

-Well done.

-..back to the start.

-Let's do it.

-Let's do it.

-One life, let's make it count.

-Let's do a good start.

-Yeah, we're good.

-All you've got to do is a good start.

-Remember, no pressure, enjoy it.

-I'll enjoy it.

-Enjoy. Great crack, this is.

OK, teams, it's getting a bit more serious now.

OK.

Race four, question four,

Shaan, Hannah, can't afford to lose another life.

Tell me about it, Dermot.

Best of luck to everyone.

Here's your question.

You're in first, just go for the win. Smooth.

On a standard dartboard, which number is directly at the bottom -

three or four?

Three, two, one, go.

Three, three, three, three!

Get there, get there, Dean!

Smooth is fast.

Concentrate.

Get through there, get through! Go left, go left, go left, go left!

Left, left, left!

So, they both went with the answer three.

But who got there first?

Here was the question. On a standard dartboard, which number is directly at the bottom - three or four?

Both went...

..for three.

Both correct.

So, it all comes down to speed.

Shaan and Hannah...

..you were the slowest.

-You lose a life...

-Good job, lads.

..which means, Dean and Steve, you are tonight's finalists.

Congratulations.

-Well done.

-Thanks, Dermot.

-Thank you.

My pleasure. It was great having you guys. Thank you.

I can deal with, you know, not getting questions right but...

-He has issues with not being quick enough.

-Aim of the game was speed, I think, today.

Flipping Nora!

We... Well, I let the Red Team down.

-Sorry, Hannah.

-Don't worry.

I was dreaming about driving that Getaway Car, you know, having the Stig chasing me.

-Is that what you were dreaming about?

-Yeah. See, I had my eyes on the prize

and I, you know, missed out. It's a shame. It's a shame.

# They could never, ever

# Tear us apart. #

So, four couples have now been towed away,

leaving one assured of a drive in The Getaway Car,

which comes with leather seats and cruise control as standard

and the optional extra of winning £10,000.

It also comes, however, with this little hidden driving gem.

-We rock!

-THEY LAUGH

-In pink!

-In pink!

-Woo!

-Woo!

THEY LAUGH

Get in there!

You know, he's my co-driver, he's my wingman, he's my best mate.

He's my business partner

and I'm his nightmare.

But I don't think he'd have it any other way

because he is my wingman.

-THEY LAUGH

-You idiot, I knew you'd do something wrong!

Left, left, left!

Oh.

Oh, no, Dean.

To get this far, it's just... We've got to push it through now

and it ain't over yet.

-Bring it on, Stig.

-Come on, Stig.

Bring it on.

Oh, get in there!

I'm just going to do my best

and I just hope I don't let him down and...

..anyone else.

You'll do good.

I've just got to get this emotion into the car and that's...

I've just got to go for it.

OK, so, this is the final round, the Getaway Chase.

Dean and Steve have to drive twice, as fast as they can,

around the track

in this...

..The Getaway Car.

Now, they've more than earned their right to drive it but it's very fast,

so they'd be well-advised to proceed with caution.

Now, on one level, the challenge facing the Dean and Steve

could not 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 the green light and starts hunting them down.

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

But if they get to the finish line first, they bank £10,000.

However, the Stig has an army of supercars at his disposal

and tonight he's setting sail in this -

a Ferrari F12.

With a top speed of 211mph and 0 to 60 in just three seconds,

it is significantly quicker than The Getaway Car.

So, to make this a fair contest,

The Getaway Car Pit Crew have worked out

that if Dean and Steve get an eight-second head start

and they drive The Getaway Car perfectly

they could walk away with a jackpot of £10,000.

So, a pair of second-hand-car salesman versus the Stig.

Let the Getaway Chase commence.

Just you take your time going round, will you?

THEY LAUGH

You're funny.

Oh, I really want this to fly round here.

-You can do this, mate.

-We can do it.

-Show...

-Me the money!

Eee!

He's here.

He's here, mate.

I don't even want to see him.

You freak him out and I'll focus on the road.

Hi, honey!

I'm home.

Come on, brother.

Whoosh.

Come on.

Right, move it, boys.

THEY CHEER

Heading into the first corner and a little tentative.

Come on.

And just like that, the Stig is unleashed.

Go on, then. Nail it, nail it.

Dean and Steve do not look fast there.

That's a grand, mate.

That's a grand. £1,000.

£1,000 banked but the Stig is in sight.

£2,000.

Come on!

2,000 but the head start is rapidly disappearing.

Come on. Boot it, mate.

This is all going horribly wrong.

How long can they possibly hold on?

Come on, no!

You are joking me.

Not long at all. It's all over.

-Where did he come from?

-That's unbelievable.

-What happened there, mate?

-I don't know.

Sorry, boys, but you were Stigged.

It was an OK start but on the long corner,

Dean didn't push The Getaway Car anywhere near to its limit.

Far from a classic performance

and the Stig, as always, utterly ruthless.

You are joking me.

So, what did happen?

I don't know. I... I thought...

I tried to obviously get out there

and, well, we got round to the chicane and he was there.

Yeah.

Come on, no!

You are joking me.

Where did he come from?

He is a really good driver,

so that will happen from time to time. You can't beat yourself up.

-I can't believe it.

-You guys are our champions, aren't they?

-Yeah!

Dean and Steve!

# I'll be keeping your head up

# I'll be keeping your head up, darling

# Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

# I'll be keeping your head up. #

So, we've seen some great driving and we've tested some relationships

to the limit, who are barely talking.

But we'll be back next time with more brave couples

ready to put their driving skill and their love on the line.

See you then.
