Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
and home to the astonishing Total Wipeout obstacle course, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
a brutal battleground in which 20 brave Brits, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
including a model, a pastry roller and a nurse are about to test their bodies to the limit | 0:00:13 | 0:00:18 | |
as they fight for a £10,000 prize. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
There'll be lots of losers, but only one winner. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
This is Total Wipeout. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Welcome to Total Wipeout. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
20 brave souls, some athletic, some less so, have journeyed all the way | 0:00:34 | 0:00:40 | |
from the UK to tackle the Total Wipeout course. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
The rules are simple - you go over some obstacles, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
you get really wet and the best person wins. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
And they are that simple! | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
These are the challenges that face our competitors today... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
..the Qualifier, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
the Sweeper, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
the Dizzy Dummies, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
and the grand final, the Wipeout Zone. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
The Qualifier will reduce our contestants from 20 to 12, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
it might also reduce some of them to gibbering wrecks. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Let's have a look at the course. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
And first up is a brand-new obstacle, the Slippery Stairs - | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
covered in grease and a nightmare to climb. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Conquer that and it's a short dash to the Sucker Punch - | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
lots of boxing gloves, gallons of mud, and a tiny chance of getting across unharmed. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:37 | |
Then to the Big Balls, or as the Argentinian crew like to call them, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
the Big Balls - they all speak excellent English. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Once across the balls, it's the Leap Of Faith, a circular run and jump, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
followed by a difficult landing on a tiny platform. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
At that point, the clock is stopped. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Don't forget - only the top 12 go through to the next round. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
To win today's competition, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
the Total Wipeout champion will not only endure extreme physical challenges, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
but also extreme giggling from my co-host, Amanda Byram, | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
as she watches them falling off big things. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
So, let's join her now on the course with our optimistic hopefuls. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
I'm here now with Chris. Chris, hang on, you've just got something in your... Oh! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
-Wait, no, that IS your hair. -Yeah, in-built spikes, all natural. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
Have you been doing anything to prepare for this extremely difficult course today? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:31 | |
Yeah, been getting climbing and trampolining lessons | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-to deal with the evil balls. -Trampolines are flat, balls are round. How will you deal with that? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
With luck. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
I'm Sonic, the sonic gun, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
I'm doing this course like a sonic boom! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Now I didn't understand a word of that. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Still, he's off... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
straight into the water, that is going to ruin his hair. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
No, sadly not. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Well, he's on. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Now to the Slippery Stairs - these have been coated in grease, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
much like Chris's hair. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
Over you go, Chris, that's the way. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Dispatched that with no problems, stumbling there. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
Let's hope he finds his feet for the next obstacle - the Sucker Punch. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
Now I can actually explain | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
how you get past this wall of boxing gloves - don't get punched. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
Oh-h! In your face, Chris, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
quite literally. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
He's staying on, though... He's off. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
He is off. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Oh, no, he's going to ruin his lovely hairdo. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
More like a hair-don't. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
He'll thank you for saying that. Let's have a look at that in slow-mo. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
SCARY MUSIC PLAYS | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
That evil incidental music tells me | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
that Chris must now traverse his toughest challenge yet - the Big Balls. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Well, Chris, be brave. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Oh! | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
And that, boys and girls, is how not to do it. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Hang on, I think Chris does actually manage to land further back | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
that where he jumped from. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
And that takes some doing. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
He has to swim all the way over to the podium, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
costing him vital seconds. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:28 | |
Don't forget - he's trying to set as fast a time as possible | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
to be in the top 12 qualifiers. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
Just the Leap Of Faith to go. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
Chris must grab the rope | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
and swing to the podium in the middle of the pool. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
Sounds easy, but let me remind you | 0:04:44 | 0:04:45 | |
how last week's contestants got on with this particular obstacle. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
No matter how many contestants we threw at the Leap Of Faith, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
not a single soul made it across. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
So it is a tall order for our spiky, shouty friend who makes his run up. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
Oh, and that's more like it! | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
Chris completes the course in 2 minutes, 13 - | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
now the time to beat. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
-Well done! -Who's next? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
My name's Mandy, I'm 46, I don't need no special tricks | 0:05:17 | 0:05:23 | |
To let you know that I'm not sad | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
And that I can get really mad! | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
So that is why I'm here today | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
To win Total Wipeout - I hope and I pray. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
Mandy's a sales administrator from Rugby, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
not a full-time poet. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
So the first of our more mature crop of contestants takes to the course. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Go on, Mand, you can do it! All the way! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
Mandy making her way to the Slippery Stairs - oh! | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Agh! | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
All the way up - come on! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Completely failing to make any headway there. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
Come on! | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Come on, girl. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
And the stairs claiming their first victim. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Having failed to get over the Slippery Stairs, | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
Mandy makes the long swim to the next obstacle, | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
costing her valuable time. Come on, Mandy, you can do it, all the way! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
Oh. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
She got hit with a thud and falls in the mud - | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Mandy, you can have that one on me. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
Come on, Mand! Come on, girl! | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Up you come. Go, girl! | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
The shouting might be costing her vital energy at this point. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Keep yourself together. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
Balls - they don't do nothing for me. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
I'm just going to beat them. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
I'm going to run at them and give it all I've got. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
OK, you go, girl, go, go, go! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Yes... | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
She's completely missed the second ball! | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
And that was a nasty belly flop! I wouldn't want to see that again. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
While Mandy works out how to breathe again, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
let's see who's next to go. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
SHE CHEERS You ain't seen nothing yet. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
This is 18-year-old Sian - | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
a gymnastics coach from Wales, so she should be good at this... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
..and she is - impressive stuff. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Sian's flying round the course. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
On to the Sucker Punch now. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
Oh, that's really going to slow her down. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Now, Sian is really small and those balls are really big. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-THEME FROM "CHARIOTS OF FIRE" PLAYS -You see, that's how a gymnastics coach tackles the Big Balls - | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
pretty much the same way as everybody else. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
Somebody's going to clear those one day, though. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
Somebody will. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:48 | |
Blimey, Sian's landed it too and in the fastest time today - | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
one minute, 46 seconds. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
Remember, only the 12 fastest qualifiers will go through to the next round. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
Time to find out who is vying for a place in that all-important dozen. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
What do this 60-year-old from Salford and this young lady from Brighton have in common? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
Well, there are two things. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
Firstly, they both pluck their eyebrows, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
and, secondly, they've both opted to use tinted goggles to protect their eyes. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:21 | |
Makes sense, but how will they protect the rest of their bodies? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
HE CHEERS | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
I'm the oldest swinger in town, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
but watch me fly round this course! Whoo! | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Yes, right, he's away. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
He's in... | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
..he's out - | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
the course already bringing Dave to his knees. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
I don't know. I think he's made of the right stuff, this guy. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
On to the Slippery Stairs... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
Oh. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
Maybe a Slippery Stairlift would have helped. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
On to the Sucker Punch now, Flying Dave should have no problem here - | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
the wall would never punch a pensioner. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
It's punched a pensioner! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Ha-ha-ha! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Oooh! At least, it wasn't in the face. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Natalie doesn't hang around at the Sucker Punch. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Doesn't look like she wants to hang around in there either. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
Oh, God! | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
At least she wore goggles. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
Looking ready for the Big Balls, Dave - just flying round. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
Here we go. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
Yes...ha-ha-ha! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
That kneeling technique there, that was never going to work, | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
neither will his knees now probably. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
Now it's Natalie's turn. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Moment of glory. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
What was that? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
Natalie did eventually finish in three minutes and 52 seconds. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:54 | |
David finishes with a spot of rope burn... | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
..in five minutes, seven seconds. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
Yes! | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Johnny, what is it you do for a living? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
I'm a personal trainer and I used to be in the military. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Yes, sir! Now do you feel about coming up against some tough female chick competition? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
I'm not going to let them beat me. I will never, ever let them beat me. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
This one is for the boys out there to prove girls can't win! Come on! | 0:10:22 | 0:10:27 | |
Did he really say... Don't involve me in it. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
He's off. Oh! See, ladies, | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
if you wish for something hard enough, it really can come true. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
On to the Sucker Punch. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:37 | |
Oh! That punch was from my eight-year-old daughter. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Oh! | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
Right, on to the Big Balls now for Action Man Johnny, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
and... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
Oooh! Oooh! | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
Well, until he fell off, that was actually pretty good. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
Johnny marches to the finish line in one minute, 34 seconds - | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
a very, very good time. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
But now for the women of Britain, | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
let's take another look at Johnny falling off the Big Balls... | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
..and then getting punched in the face - oh! | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
Now, I just want to talk about those Big Balls for a minute, | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
probably the toughest obstacles in the whole of Total Wipeout. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
What's more, they do have an amazing, almost magical ability | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
to turn finely-tuned athletes into crash-test dummies, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
over and over again. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
MUSIC PLAYS: "Goodness Gracious Great Balls Of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
Yeah! Aggh! | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
So how will 37-year-old mum Yvonne from Fife deal with the balls? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
Oh! Not very well. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Yeah, starts reasonably well... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
then goes horribly wrong. Best not to land on your face there, Yvonne. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
Let's see that one more time. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
Next to try the Big Balls is Vicky. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
She's a nurse from Lincoln | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
and has been preparing for this punishing course | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
by walking her dogs and doing lots of swimming. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Safe to say that the swimming has come in handy there. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Backstroke - that's just showing off. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
Next up is 25-year-old Helena, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
who's here representing all the independent women out there. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
Now what is your motivation for being here today? | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
I just want to prove to people that girls are just as good as guys | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-and we get stereotyped a lot. -So what is it that you do? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
I do modelling. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
Do you have a boyfriend? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
Yeah, I do. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
-What does he do? -He plays football. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Ah, OK, so what do you do in your spare time? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Go to the gym mostly - two or three times a week. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
Will Helena's training help her with the Sucker Punch, though? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
Well, she's fit, she's strong. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
No! | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
In fact, the punch misses her face, | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
but it's the body blow takes her off the wall | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
and that's going to cost her time. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Right, on to the Big Balls - she is gym-fit and toned, | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
she could do it - could she be the one to clear them? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
It's just about balance. It's about...not doing that! | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
No! | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Now Helena just has to land on the podium | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
to finish a pretty decent time. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Here we go, touchdown. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:12 | |
No! No, let go! | 0:14:12 | 0:14:13 | |
Did nobody tell her? | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Good grip, but stop it now. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
How is that pretty little model face doing - let me see? | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
Ah, yes, all in one piece - how are you feeling? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
I'm so knackered. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
Still, a decent three minutes, 36, for Helena, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
and proof, if it were needed, | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
that this course is bad for your health and your looks. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
This is shelf-stacker Blair and the pontoons aren't really an obstacle - | 0:14:36 | 0:14:41 | |
she's just making it look tough. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
Not having much luck on the Slippery Stairs either. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
We'll rejoin Blair later when she's pulled herself together. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
I'm going to win this show, now watch me go! | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
This is Phil. He's a 33-year-old website designer from Barnsley, | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
but he also has an amazing talent up his sleeve - | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
he's a part-time rapper. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
# I'm Phil, I'm 33 I'm in the place to be | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
# I wanna win this thing on the BBC | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
# I got my mummy in the hood saying I should | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
# Trying my best to beat the rest Woh-woh-woh! Wipeout! | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
# Let me here you scream... # | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
And then everyone screams. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
Admit it, you screamed. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:24 | |
That is quite an effort. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:30 | |
It's a tougher obstacle than it looks. On to the Sucker Punch. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
Oh. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:39 | |
Emcee Philly-Phil's secret talents don't end with rapping - | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
he's also an amazing break dancer - look at him go. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
Oh, 'eck! | 0:15:46 | 0:15:47 | |
Come on, Phil, show how those balls are done, B-boy style, | 0:15:47 | 0:15:52 | |
whatever that is. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
Yes! | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
No! I think that loud noise was his body popping. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
Come on, you can do this. Looking good! | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
Emcee Philly-Phil keeps it real in the end with a time of two minutes, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
and 54 seconds. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
Will that be enough to take him into the top 12 and into the next round? | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
Now let's see how Blair's getting on. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
How much confidence is in that face? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
Absolutely none. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Oh, I think you'd agree that was the least-surprising fall of the day. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
And I can confirm that is the shortest distance | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
ever travelled on the Sucker Punch. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-Oh, this is so horrible. -Yeah, it does look like Blair | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
probably won't make it into the top 12 or out of that mud pit. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
While Blair enjoys her bath, | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
let's see who's next. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
First stop, second round! Get some! | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
This is 22-year-old event organiser Dan, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
and to keep himself one step ahead in the fashion stakes, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
he's opted to wear two headbands. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
All the kids are doing it these days apparently. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
And look at the concentration etched on Dan's face. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
Still on... Oh, he's off! | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
That's why he wears two headbands - to keep one clean. Clever! | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
-On to the Big Balls now. -Have it! Come on! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
You could be in for a good time. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:17 | |
Oh, that's got to be the fall of the day! | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
Have it! Come on! | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
So determined. He's going to cross them, he's going to cross them... | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
and then it goes wrong. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:29 | |
But the most damaging thing about this fall wasn't the blow to Dan's back, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
it was the loss of a precious headband. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Good job he's got a spare. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
No, he's lost that! Wear three next time. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Lucky! Have a go! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Still, a very, very impressive one minute, 22 seconds | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
for Headband Dan. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:48 | |
I think he could be in with a shout today. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Now it's time to answer the question on everybody's lips. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
How is Blair getting on? | 0:17:55 | 0:17:56 | |
Go, girl, go. Yes! | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
Oh, dear, not at all well. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
Still, Blair picks herself up, dusts herself down, | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
and falls off the rope, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
but finally ends up with a time of six minutes, 44. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
Miracles do happen and perhaps Blair has surprised us all | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
and hijacked the party at the top of the leader board. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
Unfortunately for Blair, the only miracle for Blair is that she's managed to complete the qualifier | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
before it gets dark. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
Let's take a look at the leader board. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Now, this Total Wipeout course is by no means just for the kids. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
Today's next three proud competitors are flying the flag | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
for mums and dads everywhere. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Let's just hope it doesn't turn out to be a little white flag! | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Meet dad of three, Nigel. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
This is for my friends, my family, my fans! | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
I'm a winner! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
With a bit of luck, they won't be watching you, Nigel! Good luck. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
Yeah! I'm going to fly around the course! | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
Yes! That's crazy legs Colin. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
I'm doing it for my kids, I'm doing it for Toby and Emily! | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
Look what Mummy's doing! | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
Yeah. Toby, Emily, you might want to hide behind the sofa for this. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
So, let's see if anyone can show us who's the daddy. Or the mummy. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
Alison's off first. Comes down to earth with a bang! | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
Watch and learn, kids, this is textbook slipping! | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Windmill arms, high kicks, finish with a grimace. Perfect! | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Whilst Colin just surfs it in style. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Nasty! Looks like three children is your lot, Nigel! | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
-Yeah! -I'm here! | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
Yeah. Yeah. Whoo! Whoo! Yeah. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:55 | |
So there you go, kids, your dad did well! | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Not well, but he finished. You can be proud! | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
There are only five contestants left to go in the Qualifier. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
For those waiting in the wings, the anticipation must be unbearable. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
This is Perran, he's a pastry roller from Cornwall. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
And apparently, quite a talker. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
You are just oozing cool. Are you excited about the course today? | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
-Yeah. -Have you been in, you know, really hard training? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
Yeah. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
-Really looking forward to it, then, are we? -Yeah, man! | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
I think we've covered everything. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
I am the master of Total Wipeout! | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
That looked painful! | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
Still, first time that hair's seen water for a while. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
This is impressive stuff. He's a man of few words, | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
who obviously likes to let his actions do the talking. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Perran approaches the Big Balls. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Perran - part Cornishman, part Wookiee, all wet! | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
But Perran isn't down for long, and swings home | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
in one minute 30. I'm sure he's got a thing or two to say about that! | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Three words to describe that course? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
Tough... | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
I was about to say the same word again! | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Erm...yeah, tough... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
I can't think of any other two! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Tough, challenging... | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
..um...word to describe is not what it looks like. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
Um... | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
No, I don't know. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:38 | |
Each of our 20 lucky competitors has to face the dreaded Sucker Punch, | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
and so far today, all have failed miserably to make it across. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
With just four competitors to go, | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
will 21-year-old Irish student Adrienne | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
be the first to stay out of the mud? | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
Quite simply, no. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
She does take two blows to the face before going down. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
Yeah, that did it! | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
34-year-old personal trainer Cathy is next. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
I'm here to show you guys how it's done! | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
Cathy's a personal trainer, so she's fit, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
but will she be able to beat the Sucker Punch? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
Like so many before, | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
Cathy gets up close and personal with the wet, brown stuff. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
By which I mean, she's fallen in the mud. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
Next to try his hand at the fists is cinema projectionist Ben. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
Pain is temporary! Failure is forever! | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Yes, and camouflage is for soldiers, not cinema projectionists. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
Come on, keep going! Ben takes his turn on the Big Balls. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
Having got across the first and second, | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
he just gets fingertips to the third, | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
it looks so close, and that is the best effort so far today. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
Our last competitor, looking for a place in the top 12, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
is 27-year-old radio DJ, Jon. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Taking on the Sucker Punch now. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:19 | |
Once was enough! | 0:24:23 | 0:24:24 | |
Oh, man, it's muddy! | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
That would be the last thing on my mind right now. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
A punch like that first one would bring a tear to most men's eyes! | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
It took the second one to knock him off. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
Big Balls, here I come! | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Jon's shouting at the Big Balls, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
employing his abilities as a radio presenter. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
He hits the second ball and manages to get a finger across to the third | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
and a face full of rubber! | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
And then Jon manages to pioneer a brand new Total Wipeout move - | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
I shall christen it "The Scorpion." | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Jon struggles to the finish line in two minutes, 27 seconds. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
But he needs to be one of the fastest 12 | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
to get through to the next round. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
Here we have our final leader board. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:29 | |
So, congratulations to today's top 12, | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
because they're one step closer to clinching that £10,000 prize. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
Now it's time to turn up the heat. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
By which I mean, let's make more people fall off stuff. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
Bring on the Sweeper! | 0:26:01 | 0:26:02 | |
All our 12 remaining Brits have to do now | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
is stay balanced on their podiums while that big sweeper arm | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
tries to knock them off, as it rotates faster and higher with every revolution. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
The first six to fall in the water are eliminated. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
But the sweeper will keep knocking people off | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
until we have our last man or woman standing. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
And their prize is a psychological edge going into the next round. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
On podium one, it's a pumped-up and confident Yvonne. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
First to jump, last to fall! | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
You're having a laugh! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Next to her, on podium two, it's action man Johnny. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Sian and Cathy, you're going down! | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
On podiums three, four and five, | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
it's Shouty Chris, Colin and gymnast Sian. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
I may be the youngest, but I'm going to show you how it's done! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
On six and seven, it's Cathy and Headband Dan. | 0:26:55 | 0:27:00 | |
If I get through the Sweeper, I'll be ten grand richer! | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
Last six, baby, come on! | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
And next to Dan, our Wipeout WAG, Helena. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
I might have came 12th in the Qualifier, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
but I'll be the last woman standing! Whoo! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
Aaah! | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
On podiums nine and ten, it's DJ Jon and MC Phil! | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
The Sweeper looks so demanding, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
but I'm praying I'll be the last man standing! | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
And to round things off, on podiums 11 and 12, | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
Ben and Perran. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
Perran there, just realising he's left the gas on. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
So, only six people go through to the next round, | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
let's see how they get on. Amanda! | 0:27:40 | 0:27:41 | |
-Are you all ready up there? -Yeah! | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
Yeah, they look absolutely terrified. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
Three...two...one... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
Slow and steady to start. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
Disaster strikes for Colin, his legs have gone a bit too crazy! | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
C'est la vie, c'est la guerre! | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
Yeah, c'est la you're out, Colin! | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
Seconds later, footballer's sweetheart Helena becomes one wet WAG. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
I'm not the last woman standing. First one down! | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
I tried my best, that's the best I can do. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
That's the best you can do?! Phil makes a right mess of it | 0:28:48 | 0:28:53 | |
and nearly takes Ben out. Luckily, Ben hangs on. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
# When the world leaves you feeling blue... # | 0:28:56 | 0:29:00 | |
Phil, you just lost all that credibility you built up! | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
# I will be there for you... # | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
Nine contenders are still in the game - | 0:29:05 | 0:29:10 | |
Yvonne, Johnny, Chris, | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
Sian, Cathy, Dan, who's now diving too, | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
Jon, Ben and Perran. But only six can go through | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
to the next round, so we still need some more tumbles. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
I did it! | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
Come on, people, you're all wearing life jackets. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
Be a shame not to use them. Fall off! | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
This nine are doing incredibly well. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
CHEERING | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
And still they go! | 0:29:44 | 0:29:46 | |
This nine are just refusing to fall off! | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
Yes! Yes, yes, yes! | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
Yeah, that's why we call him Shouty Chris. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
Yvonne, this one, you're going down! | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
Oh, that's the spirit, Johnny! | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
And the Sweeper just keeps on getting faster...and faster... | 0:30:03 | 0:30:08 | |
Ooh! It's a disaster for DJ Jon! | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
I'm so annoyed with myself. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:12 | |
You know what? I could still be up there. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
Yeah. Judging by that, Jon, your teeth could still be up there! | 0:30:16 | 0:30:21 | |
With every revolution, the Sweeper speeds up. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
Eight contestants still standing now, but only six go through. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:28 | |
Headband Dan's barely got time to stand before he's back down, | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
but not out. Does anybody want to fall? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
Yvonne's gone! And Chris, too! And that's lights out for Cathy. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:54 | |
Headband Dan collects the sweeper in the chest, didn't stand a chance. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
Off the podium. But I think he's done the maths here. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:05 | |
He's celebrating, because he's seen six have already gone down, | 0:31:05 | 0:31:09 | |
that means he's in the final six to go through. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
Ever sympathetic Amanda there, really feeling for Dan's pain(!) | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
But that was carnage! Let's slow this down, | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
and see exactly what's going on. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:21 | |
Down goes Yvonne, that's seven left, | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
then Chris goes down - we have our final six. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
Then just behind him is Cathy. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
She goes down, but she hits the water after Chris, | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
that means she goes through to the next round. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Chris and Yvonne are out. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
I was so scared up there, I was terrified! | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
I thought, "I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this!" | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
It just caught the tip of my toe. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
I just think, in one more sequence, I'd have made it. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
Last man standing, come on! No bird's going to beat me! | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
You'll have to forgive Johnny, he's only nine years old. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
No bird's going to beat me! Come on! | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Justice, ladies and gentlemen, is served up, Total Wipeout style. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:15 | |
He's gone! | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
So, Sian, Ben and Perran are left. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
Who will be our last man standing? | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
No wonder Sian didn't clear that - it's up to waist height on her! | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
Aagh! That looks nasty. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
Funny, but nasty. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:40 | |
We started with 12, we're down to the last two. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
Hold your horses! | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
I think...yeah, Perran has definitely just fallen off. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:55 | |
That makes big Ben our last man standing and Sweeper king! | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
So, 12 are now six. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:03 | |
Let's remind ourselves who they are and how they got here. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:07 | |
First up, it's our number one Qualifier and fashion icon, Headband Dan. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:12 | |
Let's have a go! | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
Next, it's the pint-sized pixie from Wales, gymnast Sian. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:19 | |
You ain't seen nothing yet! | 0:33:19 | 0:33:20 | |
Then there's action man Johnny. Truly, a man for the new millennium. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:27 | |
No bird's going to beat me! | 0:33:27 | 0:33:28 | |
Yeah. Then, there's personal trainer and mum of three, Cathy. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:33 | |
I'm here to show you guys how it's done! | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
And we've got Cornish pastry roller, chatty Perran. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
I am the master of Total Wipeout! | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
Stranger to the barber, but a master nonetheless. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:46 | |
And finally, there's camouflage-wearing cinema projectionist, big... | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
-Pain is temporary! -..bad... -Failure is forever! -..Ben, the Sweeper king. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:55 | |
These six have been through a lot. But it doesn't get any easier, | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
so let's give them a huge amount of encouragement, | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
as we watch them falling over and getting wet. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
Let's move on to the Dizzy Dummies. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
Here's how it works - we spin the competitors round and round | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
and when they can barely walk, we ask them to battle across obstacles | 0:34:17 | 0:34:21 | |
that would be difficult enough if you weren't dizzy. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
We run the game three times, and each time, | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
the last person across will be eliminated, | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
leaving us with our three finalists. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
Quite simply, the object of the game is don't come last! | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
The first obstacles are the Tippy Tables, | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
and then it's on to the Dock Maze. All clear? Let's get spinning! | 0:34:38 | 0:34:44 | |
Off they all go, 40 seconds of high speed spinning. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
Six people in a human centrifuge. Rather them than me! | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
-Aaargh! -Somebody's screaming. I think it's Ben. | 0:34:55 | 0:35:01 | |
-Ben does not look good! -Oh, he'll get better. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:05 | |
Eventually. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
And they're off! Sian's first out of the blocks, | 0:35:07 | 0:35:12 | |
Johnny's got other ideas. Ladies first, Johnny? No, thought not. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
Johnny makes a dash for it and crosses the line. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:24 | |
Sian, Perran and Cathy have all slipped into the water. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:29 | |
Dan, now, out in front, on his own. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
And he dives over the finish line. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
Perran, there, he doesn't hang around! Will he...? | 0:35:44 | 0:35:47 | |
Yes, he has, he's made it! | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |
So, Sian, Cathy and Ben are left. Sian's got the tables to herself. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:54 | |
And she's safe! | 0:35:54 | 0:35:57 | |
Last one over's out, remember that! | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
So, either Cathy or Ben will be eliminated. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
Ben does his best to upset the table, | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
but only succeeds in falling in himself! | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
That could be curtains for our Sweeper king. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
ALL: Cathy! Cathy! Cathy! | 0:36:12 | 0:36:15 | |
There's only one place up for grabs. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
Cathy's made it, it's hers! Ben is eliminated. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
Ben, so close but so very, very far! Where did it all go wrong? | 0:36:24 | 0:36:29 | |
I just couldn't get a grip. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
Went onto it, but just slipped, couldn't get a grip. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:35 | |
-Did you think you might have beat her across? -No, far from it! | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
Five left, and one more is about to be eliminated, | 0:36:39 | 0:36:43 | |
this time by the Dock Maze. Our competitors are strapped in. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
The Dizzy Dummy is primed. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
And apparently, they've all had Scotch eggs for lunch. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
I can't believe we're doing this again! | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
So, off they spin, once again, round and round and round they go, | 0:36:54 | 0:37:00 | |
for 40 sickening seconds. I feel ill just watching! | 0:37:00 | 0:37:05 | |
Johnny's out first, closely followed by Sian. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
Headband Dan dives in, and takes Sian and Perran out as well. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:24 | |
That leaves Johnny out in front to cross the line. Go on, Johnny! | 0:37:26 | 0:37:32 | |
Will he? Yes, he has! Still without a drop of water on him. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:35 | |
Sian's back at the start. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
Watch out, cos here comes Dan. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
Dan all over Perrin like a cheap suit. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
Or a dodgy hairstyle. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
Sian just inches from the line. ..Oh, she's fallen in! | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
Cathy and Headband Dan on the same block. Perrin jumps on with them. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
Surely this now can end only one way. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
That way. Now Perrin is stranded miles away from the last block. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:05 | |
What can he do? | 0:38:05 | 0:38:06 | |
That was an astonishing leap. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
A fine effort, but no cigar. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
Just a mouthful of wet hair. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
Sian has done a clever thing - wait for the pontoons to float back together again. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:22 | |
-She is across. She's done it. -CHEERING | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
So three are left - only two can continue. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
Perrin spots a gap round Cathy, but they both end up in the water. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
Dan now holding on for dear life. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
And Headband Dan crawls over the finish line. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
I think he's relieved. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:40 | |
Only Perrin and Cathy left. The last one across will be eliminated. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:45 | |
Perrin makes a run for it. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:47 | |
And leaps for the line like a Cornish kangaroo. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
And he's made it! He's made it! Cathy is eliminated. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:55 | |
Cathy, you've such a competitive streak in you. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
Do you feel gutted right now? | 0:39:00 | 0:39:02 | |
Yeah, I'm gutted, I'm gutted. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:03 | |
Listen, you've been wonderful, but those strong legs of yours couldn't get into the next round. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:08 | |
-But well done, Cathy. -Thank you. -OK. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:11 | |
Although Cathy and Ben have both been eliminated, | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
we still need to lose one more competitor. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
So the stragglers must strap themselves back in. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
And the Argentinian bloke that powers the Dizzy Dummy needs to get back on his bike. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
So it is the last spin for this lot. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
The loser will be kissing goodbye to any chance of winning the £10,000 prize money. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:32 | |
Remember, only the first three will go through to the Wipeout Zone. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
-Slowing to a stop. -KLAXON | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
-And they're off. -Here they go. One last attempt. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
Oh, my God! | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
Oh, disaster for Johnny as he takes a dip in the water | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
for the first time. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
About time too. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
Headband Dan has made a right mess of it which leaves Sian with a clear roll across the tables. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:58 | |
And she's across the first table. And the second! | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
And she's through to the Wipeout Zone. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
-Go, Sian! -We have a woman in the final! | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
Johnny's off again. Did Headband Dan just tip the table? | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
And Dan's tipped Perrin in too! | 0:40:15 | 0:40:18 | |
Dirty but effective tactics from Headband Dan. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
-Dan, Dan, Dan! -He's across the first table. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
He's not making friends, but he is making distance. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
He's over the second and through to the Wipeout Zone. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
So Sian and Dan are already through. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:34 | |
It's Perrin versus Johnny | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
for the last place in the final. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
Perrin using all his strength to have a last go, | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
but Action Man Johnny jumps on | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
and completely upsets the table. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:46 | |
I think he may have done that on purpose. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:50 | |
Yes! | 0:40:50 | 0:40:51 | |
He springs for the line and Johnny has done it. He's in the final with Sian and Dan. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
Perrin is eliminated. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |
Where did it all go wrong? Was it the very end? | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
I just kept sliding off. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
For someone who didn't say very much at the beginning, you were full of beans on that last round. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
No problem, man. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:08 | |
Couldn't have put it better myself. Well, couldn't have put it the same way. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:12 | |
Perrin, Cathy and Ben are out. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
Sian, Dan and Action Man Johnny go through to the Wipeout Zone | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
for their chance to win that £10,000 prize. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
But before we unleash our three finalists on the most challenging | 0:41:21 | 0:41:25 | |
and downright scary obstacle course in the world, | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
let's have a look at their journey to today's final. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
Getting to the final was... an amazing achievement for me. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
Facing the Wipeout Zone tonight, I feel anxious, nervous. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
Like nothing I've done before. It'll be a tough course. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
Now we're down to the last three, | 0:41:44 | 0:41:45 | |
we're each looking at each other, knowing one person will win that 10 grand. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
And, yeah, it's a lot more competitive. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
I'm surprised Sian's here, being a girl. I expected three fit males to be there. | 0:41:55 | 0:42:00 | |
I'm pleased there's a girl in the final. It's between me or Johnny now. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
Dan and Johnny don't think I can do very well. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
And they think they've got it easy, but I'll give them a run for their money. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:12 | |
I think people underestimate me a lot. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
Sian, the little girl from Wales. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:18 | |
She's smaller, probably slower. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:22 | |
She'll not be able to keep up with our physical stamina and mental ability. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:26 | |
I'm going to do it for the girls, for Wales. I'll give it all I've got. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
I'm going to win Total Wipeout cos I'm best competitor there is. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:35 | |
I deserve to be up there and I will be the winner at the end. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
I've been confident throughout, I've been leading throughout. I'm going to roll it in the final. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:43 | |
Night has fallen in Buenos Aires. That's in Argentina. Keep up. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:54 | |
Our three finalists are readying themselves for the biggest challenge of their lives. | 0:42:54 | 0:42:59 | |
It's called the Wipeout Zone, and you've never seen anything like it. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:03 | |
Unless you saw last week's show. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:05 | |
Or the one before that. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
OK, so it's an obstacle course like you may have seen before, | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
but it's still massive and really frightening. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
This is what our three finalists - Johnny, Dan and Sian - | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
have to face. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:22 | |
First, they launch themselves down the high-speed Killer Surf. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:26 | |
Next it's a swing to the Barrel Run where they hurdle 50kg barrels | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
as they roll towards them. | 0:43:31 | 0:43:33 | |
Then it's a treacherous and slippery climb across the Waterfall | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
before leaping onto the fast-moving Spinner, | 0:43:36 | 0:43:40 | |
traversing the Rolling Beam and finishing with a leap | 0:43:40 | 0:43:43 | |
off the Launch Pads. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:44 | |
The fastest finalist will be tonight's winner and take home | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
the £10,000 prize. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:49 | |
They have waded through water, | 0:43:49 | 0:43:52 | |
bounced off balls | 0:43:52 | 0:43:53 | |
and spun themselves dizzy, | 0:43:53 | 0:43:55 | |
all in an attempt to get to the most difficult challenge yet - | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
the Wipeout Zone. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
And first to go is Johnny. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:02 | |
Come on, yes! | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
So ex-soldier Johnny is up first. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:10 | |
-KLAXON -No doubt desperate to beat Sian. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:12 | |
Super-competitive Action Man Johnny is off. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
Swims now towards the Barrel Run. Johnny used to be in the army, | 0:44:19 | 0:44:23 | |
so should have plenty of experience on obstacle courses. | 0:44:23 | 0:44:26 | |
Though not necessarily exactly like this one. | 0:44:26 | 0:44:28 | |
I probably should mention that walkway is covered in grease. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
And those barrels now rolling towards him weigh a whopping 50kg. | 0:44:34 | 0:44:39 | |
Ooh! | 0:44:39 | 0:44:42 | |
Johnny's adapted his style halfway through. It's less dignified | 0:44:44 | 0:44:48 | |
but still effective. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:50 | |
Don't forget, he's got to set the time for the other two to beat. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:53 | |
Now he's onto the wet and slippery Climbing Wall. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:57 | |
Ooh, that was nearly a very costly slip. | 0:44:57 | 0:45:01 | |
Maybe he's trying to keep the tension up for us watching. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:04 | |
The Spinner. He's got to leap onto it. Johnny prepares. ..He's across! | 0:45:04 | 0:45:08 | |
He makes it and, more importantly, he's got something to hold onto. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
But the longer he stays on the Spinner, the dizzier he'll get. | 0:45:11 | 0:45:15 | |
That'll make it harder for the next obstacle. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
Nice work! He's done it first time. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:22 | |
Just the Rolling Beam and Launch Pads to go now. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:25 | |
No problem there for Johnny. I'd say we could be in for a very good time. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:30 | |
Oh! He's made his first error. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:32 | |
It was all going so well for Johnny up until that point. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:36 | |
And that mistake will cost him vital seconds. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
Johnny now climbs up the ladder. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
He's got to go back up to the first Launch Pad | 0:45:42 | 0:45:45 | |
and make it to the second. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:47 | |
Oh, he's fallen in again! This is a disaster | 0:45:47 | 0:45:49 | |
for Action Man Johnny. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
Great news for womankind. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
For him, a disaster. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:54 | |
After such a promising start, | 0:45:54 | 0:45:56 | |
it's all turned into a frustrating end. This could cost him 10 grand. | 0:45:56 | 0:46:02 | |
Keeping control now. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:03 | |
Onto the second trampoline. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
He can nearly touch the finish line! | 0:46:09 | 0:46:11 | |
He's there! | 0:46:14 | 0:46:16 | |
And Johnny has done it | 0:46:16 | 0:46:17 | |
with a time of... | 0:46:17 | 0:46:20 | |
But he'll be so annoyed with himself. He made such a strong start in the Wipeout Zone, | 0:46:21 | 0:46:26 | |
but then threw it all away | 0:46:26 | 0:46:27 | |
on the Launch Pads. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:28 | |
-What happened? -I don't know. I just couldn't do it. | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
It went in too fast, too quick. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
-I expected that to be easy, having been in the army! -I can tell you right now | 0:46:37 | 0:46:41 | |
-that your time was 4 minutes and 24 seconds. -Oh, well. OK. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
Right. Next up is Dan. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:47 | |
Let's have it right! Let's go! KLAXON | 0:46:49 | 0:46:52 | |
Whoo! | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
And he's off! | 0:46:58 | 0:47:01 | |
Dan, a 22-year-old event organiser from Surrey, | 0:47:01 | 0:47:03 | |
front-crawls his way through the water. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:06 | |
Crawls his way up the beam. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:09 | |
Onto the Barrel Run where he's got to try and stay out of the way | 0:47:09 | 0:47:14 | |
of those barrels. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
Ooh! It was nearly all over before it started. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:20 | |
Dan's opting for Johnny's slightly over-dramatic leaping technique. | 0:47:21 | 0:47:25 | |
It does look effective, | 0:47:25 | 0:47:27 | |
but I suspect it costs him valuable time. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:30 | |
He's getting over, he's staying on, but it's taking time. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:37 | |
Onto the wall now, Dan feeling the full force | 0:47:37 | 0:47:40 | |
of the water crashing down on him at a rate of 2,000 litres a minute. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
Come on! Come on! | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
Support from his competitors. | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
So to the Spinner. Will he get on first time like Johnny? | 0:47:51 | 0:47:55 | |
Yeah, he does. | 0:47:57 | 0:47:58 | |
Dan is safely on. Now he's got to wait for the perfect time to leap. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:02 | |
Get the timing wrong and he's in the drink - that will cost him time. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:06 | |
Excellent judgement from Headband Dan. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:13 | |
Now Dan needs to steady himself for the Roller Beam. | 0:48:15 | 0:48:18 | |
But he's made light work of that. Oh, no! Disaster for Dan! | 0:48:22 | 0:48:26 | |
He's face-planted onto the first Launch Pad. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:29 | |
Out of control. A slip. I don't know what happened but that's gotta hurt. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:33 | |
The clock keeps on ticking while Dan clambers back up | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |
for another go. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:37 | |
A more gentle approach works better this time. | 0:48:37 | 0:48:40 | |
Making the leap to the second pad. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:42 | |
Dan's showing Johnny how this should be done now. | 0:48:42 | 0:48:46 | |
And he's done it! | 0:48:47 | 0:48:48 | |
In a time of... | 0:48:48 | 0:48:50 | |
-Easy! -Strong display from Headband Dan, but he doesn't know yet | 0:48:50 | 0:48:54 | |
whether he's beaten Johnny. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
That was an impressive performance. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:01 | |
A more cautious approach on the Launch Pad paid off for Dan | 0:49:01 | 0:49:04 | |
in the end, but will it be paying out to the tune of 10 grand? | 0:49:04 | 0:49:09 | |
Come on out to me, Dan the man! How was that for you? | 0:49:09 | 0:49:12 | |
It was good fun, yeah. Really enjoyed that. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:15 | |
-Win or lose now, it's the experience that it's all about. -The question is | 0:49:15 | 0:49:19 | |
are you faster than Johnny? | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
And I can tell you | 0:49:24 | 0:49:25 | |
-that you were indeed faster! -Yeah, brilliant! | 0:49:25 | 0:49:29 | |
So Dan has raced around the course and beaten Johnny's time | 0:49:31 | 0:49:35 | |
by some margin. | 0:49:35 | 0:49:37 | |
It is now a straight contest between Sian and Dan | 0:49:37 | 0:49:40 | |
for that £10,000 prize | 0:49:40 | 0:49:42 | |
and the title of Total Wipeout champion. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:45 | |
Let's head back to the start line. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:46 | |
Next to go is gymnastics coach Sian. | 0:49:51 | 0:49:53 | |
-KLAXON -She started today's qualifier | 0:49:53 | 0:49:55 | |
with some impressive flipping. | 0:49:55 | 0:49:57 | |
She needs to be flipping impressive now. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:02 | |
Making her way towards the beam. | 0:50:02 | 0:50:05 | |
These beams covered in grease makes it so hard to drag herself out | 0:50:05 | 0:50:09 | |
of the water when she gets there. | 0:50:09 | 0:50:11 | |
Sian isn't as tall as her two rivals, | 0:50:11 | 0:50:14 | |
which is definitely a disadvantage going into the Barrel Run. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:18 | |
That first barrel completely taken her out. And the second. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:21 | |
Oh, she's really struggling. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
The barrels ganging up on poor Sian. It's not fair! | 0:50:26 | 0:50:29 | |
Oh! Then, it IS the Wipeout Zone. | 0:50:29 | 0:50:32 | |
Sian now must start the Barrel Run all over again. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:37 | |
The clock, meanwhile, just keeps on ticking. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
Don't forget those barrels weigh 50kg each. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:45 | |
Ah! She's also now going for the dramatic leap technique. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:51 | |
It worked for her rivals. Works so far for her too. | 0:50:51 | 0:50:55 | |
Making her way now up across the Climbing Wall... | 0:50:56 | 0:50:59 | |
actually very quickly and picking up time here. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:03 | |
It's not over yet. She's still in this. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:06 | |
Staying smooth and in control. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:11 | |
She's made one error already. Sian needs to get across the Spinner | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
quickly now if she's to beat Dan's time. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:18 | |
She's on! | 0:51:18 | 0:51:20 | |
She's on. She's gone for it first time. She's on it. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:22 | |
She's got to get off it. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:24 | |
And she's... Oh, she's misjudged the landing! | 0:51:24 | 0:51:28 | |
It's so easy to do. | 0:51:28 | 0:51:29 | |
10 grand! 10 grand! | 0:51:29 | 0:51:31 | |
Sian managed to get both feet onto the platform, | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
but her momentum just carried her too far. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:38 | |
She's got to climb back up the Waterfall | 0:51:41 | 0:51:44 | |
and attempt the Spinner once again. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:47 | |
She's on. | 0:51:47 | 0:51:49 | |
And attempt number two - she's done it. ..Good work, Sian. | 0:51:51 | 0:51:54 | |
Oh, my word! That is spectacular! | 0:51:59 | 0:52:01 | |
But it's too little too late. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:05 | |
Sian gallantly tried her best, | 0:52:05 | 0:52:08 | |
but it wasn't enough to beat Dan on the night. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
Sian, what an incredible finish to that course! | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
That was monumental! How are you feeling? | 0:52:16 | 0:52:20 | |
Knackered! | 0:52:20 | 0:52:21 | |
How do you think you did time-wise tonight? | 0:52:21 | 0:52:24 | |
I don't think I did too badly, | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
but I think Dan did better. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:28 | |
Well, I can tell you now | 0:52:28 | 0:52:30 | |
the winner of £10,000 | 0:52:30 | 0:52:33 | |
and the Total Wipeout champion | 0:52:33 | 0:52:35 | |
this evening is... | 0:52:35 | 0:52:37 | |
Dan! | 0:52:37 | 0:52:39 | |
DAN CHEERS | 0:52:39 | 0:52:42 | |
Whoo! | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
Well done, Dan. And well done, Sian, for beating Johnny, | 0:52:46 | 0:52:49 | |
-which we all wanted to see happen. -Whoo! | 0:52:49 | 0:52:52 | |
Congratulations to headband ambassador Dan Hill-Smith, | 0:52:52 | 0:52:56 | |
who is today's Total Wipeout champion | 0:52:56 | 0:52:58 | |
and also 10 grand better off. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:00 | |
Maybe he'll spend the lot on one massive headband. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:03 | |
Join us next time for more of this... | 0:53:03 | 0:53:07 | |
And this... | 0:53:09 | 0:53:11 | |
So, from Amanda and me, it's goodbye. See you next time. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:17 | |
