0:00:02 > 0:00:05Buenos Aires, Argentina. London, England.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08Minsk, Belarus. These are all cities in the world,

0:00:08 > 0:00:13but only one of them plays host to the mighty Total Wipeout obstacle course,

0:00:13 > 0:00:18where 20 British men and women, including a fireman, a funeral director,

0:00:18 > 0:00:24and a line dancing coach are about to put their brains and bodies to the test. One will win.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28But far more entertaining will be the 19 who don't.

0:00:28 > 0:00:29This is a Total Wipeout!

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let the games begin.

0:00:35 > 0:00:42Welcome once again and I'm afraid this is the last show in the series but don't cry for me, Argentina -

0:00:42 > 0:00:47at least not until you've seen a few more plucky Brits bumping into things and falling over.

0:00:47 > 0:00:52For one of those accident-prone contestants, there's a £10,000 prize.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Let's look at what they'll be falling off today.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58The Qualifier, that's gonna hurt.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01The Sweeper, that's really gonna hurt.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Dizzy Dummies, that's really, really gonna hurt.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06And finally, the Wipeout Zone.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11That's gonna hurt, too, but at least someone wins.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15The one bit everyone gets a go at is the Qualifier.

0:01:15 > 0:01:21For some of them, it's also the only bit they get a go at. Only 12 can progress to the next round.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Here's what they've got to beat.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34They're back, the Topple Towers. Never before have foam blocks been so terrifying.

0:01:34 > 0:01:39Next, the Sucker Punch, otherwise known as the Muddy Swiv.

0:01:39 > 0:01:45Then it's everyone's favourite, well, everyone but our contestants, it's the Big Balls.

0:01:45 > 0:01:51And back by popular demand, again, excluding the contestants,

0:01:51 > 0:01:52is the Leap of Faith.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59Some people have said it's not my job to laugh at the contestants and they're right.

0:01:59 > 0:02:04It's Amanda's job and she's on the course right now with the first of today's competitors.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09I'm joined at the top of the Total Wipeout course by the beautiful Cassandra.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Is there anything you're not afraid of?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13No, I'm a trained beautician.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16I'm hoping to get a free mud pack out there.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20- If you win, what would be your victory dance?- It would be...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22MUSIC: "Can't Touch This" by MC HAMMER

0:02:22 > 0:02:24# Can't touch this! #

0:02:24 > 0:02:26You cannot touch that.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Good luck, Cassandra. - Thank you very much.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30# You can't touch that! #

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Get ready to watch me rock and roll around this course.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37- HORN BLOWS - Cassandra is from Broadstairs in Kent.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40She was a runner-up in Miss Broadstairs 2000.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Will she achieve similar success today?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46She's out of the water and on the move...

0:02:48 > 0:02:49..ish.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Flapping her way round to the Topple Towers now.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59OK...

0:02:59 > 0:03:03D'oh! Here goes the mud pack.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07# Can't touch this! #

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Catches every contestant by surprise, this one.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Gets more of a chin pack, right now.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16A very specific area she's targeting. Oh, dear!

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Onto the Sucker Punch. Or as Cassandra sees it,

0:03:23 > 0:03:25a firm all-over body massage.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Come on, Cassandra.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Oh! There you go, it's good for you!

0:03:33 > 0:03:34# Stop, Hammer time! #

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Quite a gentle landing in the mud there.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Sat down gracefully.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Where's she gone? Here she is!

0:03:46 > 0:03:50I'm not saying anything at this point.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58This is slippy! Man, them's some Big Balls.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Yes, Cassandra, them are indeed some Big Balls.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Will she be the fourth person ever to cross them?

0:04:04 > 0:04:06- HE LAUGHS - Oh!

0:04:06 > 0:04:09No, she won't! No.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Did she actually kick herself in the head there?

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Good skills. Not many can do that.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20The clock is still ticking as Cassandra climbs

0:04:20 > 0:04:23up the ladder to head for a swing

0:04:23 > 0:04:25on the Leap of Faith.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Still not saying anything.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29No.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34OK, here we go. First swing of the day.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39The run, the swing and now the landing...

0:04:43 > 0:04:45..Ooh, dear.

0:04:45 > 0:04:51That's a fantastic G-string and one heck of a rope burn for Cassandra.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Still, Cassandra manages to reach the finish

0:04:54 > 0:04:57in a surprisingly good time of 3 minutes, 53.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59That's not bad.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05# You can't touch this. #

0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm joined at the start of the Qualifier by student Chris.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12I take it you'd normally be in bed at this time of day?

0:05:12 > 0:05:17- What do you study?- Physics and I'll use the laws of physics to my advantage on this course.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21That, Chris, is really cool(!)

0:05:21 > 0:05:25I'm going to bounce, pounce and trounce this course. Come on!

0:05:25 > 0:05:32Hang on, what did he just do there? Is that some sort of secret physics thing?

0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Come on!- He did it again! What's that?

0:05:37 > 0:05:38It might help. He's away.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43Aw, shins! Pretty fast, though.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49That's a fast start. The Topple Towers.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Wow! Absolutely flying over them.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55He flew over the FIRST set, anyway.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57He's a sprightly young thing, isn't he?

0:05:57 > 0:06:02Will Professor Chris's knowledge help him defeat the Sucker Punch?

0:06:04 > 0:06:05Very much not.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11I think his head nearly came off then.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15The Sucker Punch has taken the wind out of his sails a bit.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Come on, professor.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19The Big Balls await.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Here comes Chris. Bounce, pounce...

0:06:23 > 0:06:25And oh, my, did he trounce.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29He may have left his face on the ball.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34Newton's third law of motion states to every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Go back for your face there(!)

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Just the Leap of Faith now.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44Oh, yes, oh, no!

0:06:51 > 0:06:55Yeah, Chris illustrating perfectly Newton's second law of motion -

0:06:55 > 0:06:58force = mass x acceleration.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Chris finishes a punishing physics lecture in one minute, 50.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Meet 32-year-old London PA Helen.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14Her hobbies include skiing, weight boarding and mountain biking.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18I'm a lean, mean, Total Wipeout machine!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- HORN BLOWS - Good..! Here she goes.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Ow! Not a good start!

0:07:26 > 0:07:29She's going to have a headache for about four weeks.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's... Ooh!

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Will she battle through, though?

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Yes, head-butt Helen is up and onto the Topple Towers...

0:07:38 > 0:07:40and straight off them again.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43She's gone.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44She's hiding.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Helen was Sportsgirl of the Year four years in a row at school.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Come on, Sportsgirl of the Year.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56- You can make mincemeat of the balls.- Oh, geez!

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Oh...oh!

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Oh, dear.

0:08:06 > 0:08:11# She dives under the sea into the world below

0:08:11 > 0:08:13# Where beauty and mystery

0:08:13 > 0:08:17# Can always be found. #

0:08:17 > 0:08:20Next to go, 39-year-old James the undertaker.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25He can do 75 press-ups, 16 pull-ups and this...

0:08:28 > 0:08:29..None of which will help here.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36The Big Balls... Ooh, no, he's gone for the face plant.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Wasn't as good as Professor Chris's, but it was good.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42James is a father of two.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45His kids will be proud because this time he's really fast.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Can he be first on to the podium? He's got to land it.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Can he? No. There's your answer.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Despite that wonderful rope burn,

0:08:58 > 0:09:02James clocks up the fastest time so far today, one minute, 37.

0:09:06 > 0:09:12The next unwitting competitor is 32-year-old support worker Kerry from Sussex.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18I hear your name could be the key to your success today.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Yes, my name is Kerry. # K is for kick, the Mai Tai type.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24# E is for enthusiasm, Energy and hype.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26# R is for run. Run Kerry, run.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28# R is remembering the sets To be done.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31# Y is for yes. Yes, yes, yes! #

0:09:31 > 0:09:35I feel a bit strange after that. I don't know how to take it.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Right, the Sucker Punch.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Here we go...

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Keeping your balance... Oh! that came out of nowhere!

0:09:46 > 0:09:51That was personal. So the Sucker Punch claims another victim.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54There's a pattern emerging. See if you can work out what it is.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Boxing coach and personal trainer, Tayah...

0:10:00 > 0:10:02..Sucker Punch wins.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Warehouse supervisor, Sundy...

0:10:06 > 0:10:09..Sucker Punch wins.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Soldier Mark spent 12 years in the army...

0:10:14 > 0:10:16..Sucker Punch wins.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32After 151 bouts and 143 victories,

0:10:32 > 0:10:38the Sucker Punch is the undisputed MDF champion of the world.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'm 31, I'm from Belfast.

0:10:40 > 0:10:46I'm here to prove that I'm not a lamb, I'm a ram and I'm going to take this course by the horns.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48That was a really good sheep metaphor, Joe.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Come on.- Yes,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Joe is off down the ram...p.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57He's in the water...

0:10:57 > 0:10:59He is out the water and onto the pontoons.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03OK Joe, let's go. Speed now.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Where Joe just fell, we haven't named that.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's just a flat surface.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17The Topple Towers... Oh, dear.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25I saw that coming, to be honest. I think Joe did too.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Onto the Sucker Punch.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30His pace has slowed to a trot now.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38No!

0:11:42 > 0:11:47A lesser man would have thrown in the towel after a punch like that.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48That connected.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53But not our Joe.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Come on.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Come on, Joe.- Yes, come on, Joe.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01It's like that Rocky film...

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Sort of.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Will Joe make the Big Balls?

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Come on, Joe. I love this guy, I want him to make it.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Come on, look at the grit, determination.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- You can do it, Joe. - You can.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oh, yes, you can.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21- You've still got time to get to the bookies if you fancy. - Catch your breath.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Walk backwards and take a running jump.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30He's reaching deep inside.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32He's going to do it.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Amazing stuff! To see a human being push themselves that far.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Are you all right?- Yes. - Keep going!

0:12:55 > 0:12:57You are on a roll.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Come on, Joe, you're doing this for

0:13:04 > 0:13:06everyone and anyone who's ever struggled with anything.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13Crawling to the Leap of Faith...

0:13:13 > 0:13:14This is moving.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Look at him. Joe, now an example to every man, woman and child

0:13:20 > 0:13:24in this country, because when the going gets tough, does Joe give up?

0:13:24 > 0:13:28No, he gets going and he still is.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33Just a swing now, the Leap of Faith, a land on the podium. What a guy.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36A man who battles through thick and thin, a man...oh.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38He fell off the rope.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41What a hero.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48There he is!

0:13:51 > 0:13:56Sheepish Joe with an epic time of five minutes, 19.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02That is exactly what Total Wipeout is all about.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Where does that put sheepish Joe on our leaderboard? Will he be top?

0:14:05 > 0:14:08He has just been pipped by James,

0:14:08 > 0:14:13Chris, Tayah, Mark, Helen, Sundy, Kerry and Cassandra.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Still love him, though.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Let's press on.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Do you have any particular strengths you can bring to the course today?

0:14:22 > 0:14:23Not particularly, no.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25OK.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Oh, well, perhaps 23-year-old Reza from Milton Keynes

0:14:31 > 0:14:36will discover a new strength today on the Total Wipeout course.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43He suffered on the way there but he's still got something left.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Oh, stealth.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57I don't believe this. We have been here before.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59He looks like he has the making...

0:15:02 > 0:15:04..Really have been here before.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I thought he was going to do it.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Tough luck.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13This is 20 year-old barmaid from London, Yuki.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21She's quick across the Topple Towers. That is very impressive.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23And the second set.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25That is the best we have seen today.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29Come on, Yuki. The Sucker Punch.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Timid start...

0:15:36 > 0:15:37..not so quick there.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Royston, what do you do for a living?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45I run a consultancy training business

0:15:45 > 0:15:50and I work with organisations to inspire their people to be the best that they can be.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54How are you going to inspire yourself to be the best you can be out on that course today?

0:15:54 > 0:15:59I'm going to apply the principles I teach in the marketplace. Number one, visualisation.

0:15:59 > 0:16:04- OK, let's visualise along with Royston.- Visualisation...

0:16:04 > 0:16:06OK...

0:16:08 > 0:16:12Yeah, you didn't visualise that, did you, Royston?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I've already seen myself at the finish line.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20OK.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Visualising...

0:16:28 > 0:16:32..that's not what I'd got.

0:16:33 > 0:16:39That's amazing. I actually visualised Royston making a clot of himself on national TV.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Oh, Royston!

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Can you do that again?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48No, I meant the falling bit.

0:16:48 > 0:16:55Just for Amanda and for all of Royston's friends and family.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Here comes Dave the fireman, our 13th competitor.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03So far no-one has completed the Leap Of Faith,

0:17:03 > 0:17:05so can he show Royston how it's done?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08The launch...

0:17:10 > 0:17:13and stop the clock... No, start it again.

0:17:17 > 0:17:23Dave is a fireman. Let's hope he handles a hose better than he handled that rope.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25That went well(!)

0:17:26 > 0:17:31Now for today's oldest competitor, 55-year-old Anne.

0:17:31 > 0:17:36I run a cleaning business, I teach aqua fit and, in my spare time, I teach line-dancing.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Five, six, seven, eight...!

0:17:38 > 0:17:41MUSIC: "Cotton-Eyed Joe" by Rednex

0:17:41 > 0:17:46I apologise for the music, really, I do.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's a BBC regulation, if somebody mentions line-dancing,

0:17:49 > 0:17:52we legally have to play this.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Step, two, three,

0:17:55 > 0:17:59fall in the mud, two, three. It's going well. Oh, dear.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01The Topple Towers claim another victim.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Second set now...

0:18:07 > 0:18:10So how will our fitness instructor do on the Sucker Punch?

0:18:18 > 0:18:22At least we get to see her aqua fit skills in action there.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Ouch!

0:18:25 > 0:18:29It must feel personal, out of spite, but it's not.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Anne runs her own business.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32OK, line dance fans.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36A line-dancing class and also keeps fit. She must be pretty agile

0:18:36 > 0:18:39so perhaps she can be the first to beat our Big Balls today?

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Come on, Anne.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44She's composed, I think she can do... Oh, no,

0:18:44 > 0:18:46she can't. She fell in.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51# If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe... #

0:18:51 > 0:18:55That's a beautiful move as she enters the water.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Nearly there, Anne. - Come on, Anne.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03One last bit.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Step, two, three, four, run, two, three, four, leap, two, three, four,

0:19:06 > 0:19:09and then land...

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Yeees, she's landed on the podium, I don't believe that.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15The first to land on the podium today.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Let's take a second look at the leaderboard.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20James the undertaker is at the top of the table

0:19:20 > 0:19:23followed by Professor Chris and Dave.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Royston has stepped in at four,

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Tayah, Mark, head-butt Helen in 9th.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Poor old cotton-eyed Anne and sheepish Joe

0:19:33 > 0:19:36have fallen off the end of the leaderboard.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Princess Cassandra is hanging in there in 12th.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42So, we've had 14 contestants, let's see, hang on...

0:19:42 > 0:19:44"Cotton Eyed-Joe" PLAYS

0:19:44 > 0:19:47- ..is there a reason that music is still playing? - MUSIC STOPS

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Thank you. Let's go back to the course.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54We join 19-year-old student Michelle on the Big Balls.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58She seems to be weighed down by some seriously over-sized clothing.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Like a true Brit, rolls up her trouser legs...

0:20:02 > 0:20:03and goes for a paddle.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oh, dear.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14I think the pool might need a top-up.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Now, this is Martin from Loughborough.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21In his spare time, he's a gymnast, which bodes well.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Oh, wow. That was, staggering.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27A near perfect 10.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's... Look at that!

0:20:34 > 0:20:36That was brilliant!

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Emerging from the swamp is sporty Sophie.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45She's at rower, she's a runner, she's a cyclist...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Come on! You big, wet ball!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51And she's scaring me right now.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Show me what you've got! Wah!

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Ooh! And she's performed a perfect vertical entry, there.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Let's watch that again.

0:21:01 > 0:21:08She takes a leap, screams, high-fives the ball, starts crying and into the water. Nice.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10She got a lot done in a short time.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15We join sales consultant Grant at the balls now.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Making his approach. The key moment.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24Woo. Amazing stuff!

0:21:24 > 0:21:28I believe we have ourselves the first Total Wipeout human pinball.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30There we go.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32MUSIC: "Pinball Wizard" by The Who

0:21:32 > 0:21:36# I just handed My pinball crown to him... #

0:21:39 > 0:21:41We've spent a lot of time with the Big Balls

0:21:41 > 0:21:45over the last eight weeks and I for one am really going to miss them.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48# Seen you cry, seen you smile, I've watched you sleeping for a while

0:21:48 > 0:21:52# I'll be the father of your child

0:21:52 > 0:21:55# I'd spend a lifetime with you

0:21:55 > 0:21:57# I know your fears And you know mine

0:21:57 > 0:22:00# We've had our doubts But now we're fine and I love you

0:22:00 > 0:22:02# I swear that's true

0:22:02 > 0:22:05# I cannot live without you

0:22:05 > 0:22:09# Goodbye, my lover Goodbye, my... #

0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Wah!- Woah!

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Thanks, Big Balls, but before you're deflated and stored in a box

0:22:17 > 0:22:19at the back of the Total Wipeout garage,

0:22:19 > 0:22:22you've still got two more contestants to humiliate.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Woman!

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Its 28-year-old fitness officer, Susan.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32How can you be a fitness OFFICER? What is she? Colonel Susan?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Oh, that is very impressive indeed.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Great work from the Colonel.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44James the undertaker has the fastest time, one minute 37,

0:22:44 > 0:22:46but Susan is closing in on it.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49This is amazing stuff.

0:22:49 > 0:22:54One minute 37, I don't believe this! Susan is joint leader with James.

0:22:54 > 0:22:59- Come on!- Total Wipeout, I'm going to eat you alive. Come on!

0:22:59 > 0:23:00HORN BLOWS

0:23:00 > 0:23:0525-year-old designing engineer Lee, he's last onto the Qualifier

0:23:05 > 0:23:09and he's got some quick times to beat. But he's quick.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Very much in control...agh!

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Ow!

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Ow. Ow. Ow...

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Ow.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27He's carrying on after that!

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Someone give him a medal.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34We've got Colonel Susan and General Lee now.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40No! Urgh!

0:23:41 > 0:23:44Onto the balls for the next thing.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Amazing. He's on the second. How can he...?

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Onto the third! Come on, Lee! What's left of you, man.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Battle on. This is heroic.- So close!

0:23:56 > 0:24:01This is a phenomenal time though, I think Lee could be in the lead here.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04A lot of pain, but in the lead.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07If he manages to land on the podium, he will go into the lead.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Come on, the General.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Oh! You have got to be kidding! No! - Orff!

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Still, the water will be soothing.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Only three seconds behind James and Susan.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Let's have a final look at the leaderboard.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35That is a Total Wipeout first.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Undertaker James and Colonel Susan tie in joint first place,

0:24:39 > 0:24:41closely followed by General Lee.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Professor Chris, gymnast Martin and Dave in 4th, 5th and 6th.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Step Meister Royston in 7th.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Mark just sneaks through in 12th.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55So, we now have our 12 competitors to go through to the next round.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58And that's the last of the Qualifier for this series.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00If you want to have a go at the Qualifier,

0:25:00 > 0:25:06what you need to do is fly over to Argentina, slip Eduardo a few pesos and hop over the security fence.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09If I were you, I'd take a towel. Anyway, onto the next round.

0:25:14 > 0:25:19The Sweeper's never nice but in this final week you really don't want to fall off, trust me.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22That water is now eight weeks old. There's things living in it.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27so we're looking to whittle the field down to the six who'll go through to the next round.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31As ever, the game won't stop until we've found our last man standing.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34For that person, a round of applause. For everyone else,

0:25:34 > 0:25:36a round of inoculations.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43So, standing tall on podium one, it's James the undertaker.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47This lot need to hold my hand, I'm taking them to school, because I'm their daddy!

0:25:47 > 0:25:51Don't understand that. On two and three, General Lee and Colonel Susan.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's the sure ones you've got to watch, baby, yeah.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56On four, it's step Meister Royston.

0:25:56 > 0:26:02It's time to raise that bar, my feet are like glue, this podium is my stool. Bring it on.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06On five and six, it's barmaid Yuki and Tayah.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11On seven and eight, Dave, who still hasn't got a nickname, and gymnast Martin.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- And on nine, it's soldier Mark. - Stand firm, strike hard!

0:26:15 > 0:26:20Great advice. On ten and 11, it's sporty Sophie and stealthy Reza. Being stealthy.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Last, with the least dress sense, it's Professor Chris.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Good luck, guys, you'll need it when you're biting rubber.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32It's the Sweeper. Are you all ready?

0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Come on!- Come on, let's do it! Three, two, one...

0:26:36 > 0:26:40HORN BLOWS

0:26:43 > 0:26:46So, the final Sweeper of the series gets under way.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51Will this be a long battle of attrition or will they start dropping like flies?

0:26:54 > 0:26:59Oh! Soldier Mark goes for dropping like a fly.

0:26:59 > 0:27:05He's hit by the sweeper. He manages to hold on to the podium for ages and then gently rolls forward.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08All the boys back at home, first off, what a loser.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'll just have to take the stick.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14So, unfortunate.

0:27:14 > 0:27:19I can hear toes hitting that sweeper it's so close.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21But they're all staying on.

0:27:21 > 0:27:2411 still in play.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28The loser's pen, there, full of losers.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Although the official BBC term is success deficient.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Got 11 sturdy contestants.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Need to knock a few more off.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39This is impressive.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41The sweeper getting faster and higher all the time.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Who's going to be next to go?

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Higher!

0:27:48 > 0:27:50This is amazing. There are all staying on.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53It's getting higher.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55So is the exchange rate.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57We're paying these Argentinian cameramen in Euros.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Woo-hoo!

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Come-on!

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Oh! Sophie!

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Sporty Sophie's gone. At least she wasn't first off.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23I clipped it a couple of times on the rounds

0:28:23 > 0:28:29the rounds before and I think it just took my feet from under me and I went in. Gutted.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34So, we're down to our last, what, 10, are apparently still on.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Oh! Susan!

0:28:41 > 0:28:47James, Lee, Susan, oh, Susan, Ukie and Tia.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50All the girls in one spin.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52Ow!

0:28:52 > 0:28:55That hurt when I slapped the water.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59I'm disappointed to be knocked out now but it's the way the cookie crumbles, eh?

0:29:00 > 0:29:08Ukie not even close to getting over that time and she bettered Susan's 180 with a 270 degree flip.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Ow!

0:29:10 > 0:29:12I just couldn't jump that high.

0:29:12 > 0:29:16Next thing I knew, I was in the water.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20But, you know. Oh, well.

0:29:20 > 0:29:26Next to fall, Tia, and that was not pretty. Makes your eyes water.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Ow!

0:29:29 > 0:29:33Just thought, I'm going in, and I just did. I smacked my face going in but I'm OK.

0:29:33 > 0:29:41I'm all right. But it's a shame none of the girls got through but, fair play to the boys, unfortunately.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44So our last girl is out.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47James, Martin, Dave, Chris,

0:29:47 > 0:29:50Lee, Reza and Royston all remain.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52One more to go, people! One more.

0:29:54 > 0:29:59Ooh, Stepmeister nearly off! Very close.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07Oh, no, Royston's in. Visualises jumping.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Perfect. Then visualises landing in the water and being eliminated.

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Mission accomplished.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15It's the way the game goes, isn't it?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17I'll go home disappointed.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21I felt I could have done more, I would like to have got into the next round.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25You're all in! It's last man standing!

0:30:25 > 0:30:28So, we have our final six going through to the next round.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32That is getting seriously high now!

0:30:35 > 0:30:39Oh, Rez has gone, but is already through to the next round, just playing for pride now.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Professor Chris is struggling.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49If you're watching this in HD, I can only apologise for the shorts.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Sorry. Here he comes again.

0:30:51 > 0:30:56Ohh! Horrific sight! Still talking about the shorts.

0:30:56 > 0:31:00Oh, a dive-in for no nickname Dave.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03And General Lee.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07Final two, then. James, the undertaker, and gymnast Martin.

0:31:07 > 0:31:12That bar is very, very high now, and very fast.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Martin has a little sit-down.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16Not the time.

0:31:19 > 0:31:24Martin's in, which makes James the undertaker our last man standing.

0:31:27 > 0:31:33Savour the moment. He's the eighth and final member of that exclusive

0:31:33 > 0:31:38people who haven't been knocked off the sweeper club and can wear his cocky smile with pride.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40You know what comes next. It's Dizzy Dummies.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48I've already explained how Dizzy Dummies works

0:31:48 > 0:31:53seven times this series, so rather than go through it all again, I'll just cover the key points.

0:31:53 > 0:32:00Spin, spin, spin, maybe vomit, spin, run, cross some obstacles, qualify, last one there loses.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03That kind of covers it.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08And that was a much quicker explanation than normal.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12In fact, I've got a few seconds to spare, so...

0:32:15 > 0:32:18OK, let's see who's on the Dizzy Dummy.

0:32:18 > 0:32:20- I'm going to eat you alive, come on! - General Lee.

0:32:20 > 0:32:26He's a design engineer, and he may want to redesign those topple towers with more padding on the corners.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30James, the undertaker, and joint fastest in the qualifier, and our last man standing.

0:32:30 > 0:32:34- James is the man to beat. - I'm taking them to school because I'm the daddy!

0:32:34 > 0:32:38I'm going to bounce, pounce and trounce their scores!

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Professor Chris, who's a physics student.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Gymnast Martin, hot on James's heels.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47He's been looking pretty spectacular so far.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Then there's no nickname Dave, who's a fireman.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Oh, we could have called him Fireman Dave.- That went well.- Too late now.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56And, finally, stealthy Rezzer.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00It's always the quiet ones you've got to watch.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02It's Dizzy Dummies.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Are you already?- No! - Yes!- Well, tough!

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Three, two, one!

0:33:10 > 0:33:16This is the eighth show, and so far, no-one has chundered on the Dizzy Dummies, so let's be proud, Britain.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20We may be a small nation, but we have stomachs of steel.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24Still spinning, still spinning.

0:33:24 > 0:33:29Ooh, feel sick.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31OK, we're stopping.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Ooh, General Lee makes a dash for it.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Oh, no!

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Stealthy Rezzer makes a dash for it.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Less amazing stuff.

0:33:44 > 0:33:45Oh, no...

0:33:45 > 0:33:50While Rezzer's treading water, everybody else is sneaking past.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52The general out in front, though.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58And General Lee's across, very impressive.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00He did it without hitting, you know, anything.

0:34:00 > 0:34:04Gymnast Martin as well.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Some heroic dives.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14No nickname Dave makes it.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18So either Rezzer, Chris or James will now be eliminated.

0:34:18 > 0:34:22Oh, no! Rezzer takes a dive!

0:34:23 > 0:34:27Wow, that's one giant leap for professor Chris.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30Followed by one little one.

0:34:31 > 0:34:37Undertaker James now storming past, and he's through!

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Ooh, that's professor Chris off!

0:34:44 > 0:34:49So it's crunch time for these two. One will go through, one will be eliminated.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Rezzer, making good ground.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Here comes professor Chris.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Ooohhh....

0:34:55 > 0:35:00Disaster for Rezzer, now the professor has a chance.

0:35:10 > 0:35:15Come on, Chris. Use the law of physics, man.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18What is it this week? Can people stop doing that?

0:35:18 > 0:35:22Genuine sympathy from Amanda Byron for the first time ever, but it's not enough.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Oh, Chris, please! Stop that!

0:35:25 > 0:35:29Chris is going to be walking funny for days!

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Chris makes it across!

0:35:33 > 0:35:39And that means Stealthy Rezzer is out of the running, he is eliminated.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Bad luck, Rezzer. - Oh, Rezzer, come on in, my man.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45Where did it all go terribly wrong?

0:35:45 > 0:35:49On that final barrel. You get so close, but so far.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53So, Stealthy Rezzer's Total Wipeout journey is over.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55But there are still five competitors left, there are

0:35:55 > 0:36:00still two eliminations to go and there's still food in our contestant's stomach, all of which

0:36:00 > 0:36:03is about to change, with our second run on Dizzy Dummies.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05HOOTER

0:36:09 > 0:36:13Once again, they spin. This time round, our competitors will face the doughnut run.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21You spin me right round, baby, right round.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Amanda there, with a perfect Pete Burns impression.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Not so much the voice, but the look.

0:36:27 > 0:36:32And they're off! Let's see what happens when you combine nausea with greasy doughnuts.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35General Lee taking the initiative, and then taking a dip. Bad luck.

0:36:35 > 0:36:41James, the undertaker, next, to attempt the doughnuts. Looks good.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48Oh, but he's nearly wiped out by gymnast Martin!

0:36:48 > 0:36:51Tough play there, but fair enough.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55Everybody trying to stay in.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59And the undertaker is across and into the next round.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Oh. David's in.

0:37:07 > 0:37:16And Martin's across, so either General Lee, Professor Chris or no nickname Dave will be going out now.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19General Lee going for it.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22He's gone! Oh, he's still there!

0:37:22 > 0:37:24And he's made it!

0:37:24 > 0:37:28Chris, very close behind. He's done it!

0:37:28 > 0:37:32Which all adds up to no more Total Wipeout for no nickname Dave.

0:37:36 > 0:37:41Oh, David, a firefighter and a fighter till the very end.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44I saw you just wipe yourself out there on the last doughnut!

0:37:44 > 0:37:48I get on the first ones easy, but after that it's just a nightmare.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50HOOTER

0:37:52 > 0:37:56So, it's the last round of Dizzy Dummies, in the last show of the series.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00Don't be alarmed by the two empty places, it's just Rezzer and Dave were eliminated, remember?

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Only three can go through to the Wipeout Zone.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05We're whittling them down to those final three.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09The spinning stops. Probably not in their stomachs.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12It's back over the barrel crossing this time.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15General Lee charges off yet again.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17I say charges... Oooh.

0:38:19 > 0:38:26Professor Chris, the straggler from the previous two Dizzy Dummies, mounting a very quick challenge.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Desperate play here for those three key places.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32General Lee makes it across!

0:38:32 > 0:38:36And out of nowhere so does James the undertaker!

0:38:36 > 0:38:37No!

0:38:40 > 0:38:45- I cannot bear it!- Gymnast Martin is out, but what a finish!

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Final, baby!

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Quite pleased, obviously.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53Oh, Martin!

0:38:53 > 0:38:56I don't even know what to say!

0:38:56 > 0:38:59I watched your face, and you were watching everybody else

0:38:59 > 0:39:02and you were taking it all in, and I think you thought you had it.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06Possibly. When everyone started making it across, unfortunately for me,

0:39:06 > 0:39:10everybody else got across first time, and maybe it was a mistake to hang back.

0:39:10 > 0:39:15- Well, at least you can go home knowing that you tried your hardest. Well done.- Thank you very much.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19So, General Lee, James The Undertaker and Professor Chris

0:39:19 > 0:39:22are our three final Wipeout Zone finalists.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Finally. Let's take a look at how they made it this far.

0:39:26 > 0:39:31The whole experience has been really surreal.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34You can't put it into words, to be honest. Amazing.

0:39:34 > 0:39:39I'm here to prove that physics is cool, and that students aren't just lazy good for nothings.

0:39:39 > 0:39:46I think I'm representing the older generation, proving to them they can still do it. But mainly my two boys.

0:39:46 > 0:39:51That's who I am representing, that's what I'm doing this for, just to make them so proud of their dad.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57I think James will be the one to beat tonight.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00He's been consistently strong throughout every single round.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03The biggest competition would have to be the old man, James.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06He's been pretty outstanding so far.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08My biggest rival, I believe, is Lee.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11He's very determined, very fast, very focused.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13He's going to be the one to beat.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15I'm feeling petrified facing the Wipeout Zone.

0:40:15 > 0:40:20Competition's very strong, and one false move could be the end of it.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23The nerves are definitely kicking in for the final.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30I want to win. I want to win for the glory and not just for the money.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35The kids will be really proud of their dad tonight, no matter what happens now.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38They weren't expecting me to have got this far.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43I'd love to win. I wouldn't take part if I didn't want to win.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46It's going to be a really tight finish.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52They've been punched, bounced, swept and dizzied.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56There is only one more challenge left, the Wipeout Zone.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59This is the big 'un. The course to end all courses.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01The beast. The big Kahuna.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04The... Well, what I'm trying to say is it's really large.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14And here are the very large obstacles they have to battle.

0:41:16 > 0:41:22Killer surf, the scary, scary slope thing you slide down.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25The barrel run, the scary platform thing they drop barrels down.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29The climbing wall, the scary, wet thing you climb across.

0:41:31 > 0:41:36The spinner, the scary spinning thing you jump across.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39The rolling beam, the rolling thing you run across.

0:41:40 > 0:41:45And, finally, the launch pads, the two jumpy things you jump across.

0:41:45 > 0:41:49It's all scary. The fastest to finish will be tonight's winner.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51It's as simple as that.

0:41:53 > 0:42:00Oh, yeah, it's the Wipeout Zone, and the first contestant to tackle it tonight is Chris.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Uh-oh.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11OK, good to see some confidence there from Chris.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13HOOTER

0:42:13 > 0:42:15And the game begins.

0:42:21 > 0:42:26For any latecomers to the show, getting out of the ring isn't an obstacle.

0:42:26 > 0:42:33This beam greased just to make it a little bit more difficult. A slip there, not a great start for Chris.

0:42:33 > 0:42:38I've decided I like all of our finalists this week, I want them all to win.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40This is more like it now.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44The faster he is, the fewer barrels he has to face on the barrel run.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46They just keep on coming.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49But he is getting over them. He's at the top.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55As an extreme sports enthusiast, Chris has climbed

0:42:55 > 0:43:0044 waterfalls, so he couldn't be better qualified for this obstacle.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03It's about balance, poise, confidence and strength.

0:43:03 > 0:43:08He's just got to hang on, with the weight of water landing on him. 2,000 litres a minute.

0:43:13 > 0:43:17Remember, Chris, setting the time to beat. He's on to the spinner.

0:43:17 > 0:43:20He may be slow but he hasn't made any mistakes. Oh, no!

0:43:20 > 0:43:22I spoke too soon!

0:43:22 > 0:43:24Oh, I can't believe it.

0:43:24 > 0:43:30That's the worst possible place. He's got to swim all the way back to the wall before he can try again.

0:43:30 > 0:43:35So that's climbing up that ladder, back on to the wall, under the weight of that water.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38- That saps strength. - Hang on there.- Dents his confidence.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45OK. Second time lucky.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48A casual step on to the spinner.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Now he's got to get off it.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54Yes. Great recovery from Chris.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57And now the rolling beam.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Oooh! A tiny slip, but he's saved.

0:44:01 > 0:44:04Just the launch pads to go.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06Looking good. These are harder than you would imagine.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08People have lost it here many times.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10Yes!

0:44:12 > 0:44:16Yes! He crosses, with a time of two minutes and 34 seconds.

0:44:21 > 0:44:26Now, that might not be the fastest time we've seen all series, but it could still be a tough one to beat.

0:44:29 > 0:44:35Chris only made one major mistake on the spinner, so Lee and James have a real challenge on their hands now.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Yes, it's an opportunity.

0:44:37 > 0:44:38No, it won't be easy.

0:44:41 > 0:44:45You were looking the king of cool there at the end. How are you feeling?

0:44:45 > 0:44:47I'm gutted about that spinner.

0:44:47 > 0:44:51I thought I had it. But it slipped through my fingers.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Once I dropped, I thought that was it.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56But I had to keep on going, fight till the end.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03Here goes my clean pants.

0:45:03 > 0:45:07We now move on to James, who's nearly twice Chris's age, remember?

0:45:07 > 0:45:10Let's see how our cheery undertaker does.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17Well, at least he's out of the rubber ring already.

0:45:17 > 0:45:18Look at those arms go.

0:45:18 > 0:45:21Good start from James then.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25Up the beam, and then the barrel run.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33Wow! What barrels?

0:45:33 > 0:45:35James has set an amazing pace.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Can he keep this going?

0:45:39 > 0:45:41He's looking balanced and confident.

0:45:46 > 0:45:49This isn't a climb under water for James, it's a walk in the park.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52Dismissing the wall.

0:45:52 > 0:45:55Now he's got too transferred to the spinner. If he can make this without

0:45:55 > 0:46:00falling off, that 10,000 prize could well be his.

0:46:03 > 0:46:06He's missed his first opportunity to jump.

0:46:06 > 0:46:07Coming round again.

0:46:09 > 0:46:12And he lands it the second time.

0:46:12 > 0:46:16Great news for James, not great for Chris. Whoa!

0:46:16 > 0:46:20Looks like nothing's going to stop James! On to the first launch pad.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22On to the second.

0:46:22 > 0:46:24If he clears this now...

0:46:24 > 0:46:26He's done it!

0:46:26 > 0:46:32A virtually flawless run, and a time of one minute 16 seconds. That's the fastest time of the series.

0:46:32 > 0:46:37Lee, who's still to go, will need to fly around the course to beat that.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40Incredible stuff.

0:46:40 > 0:46:46But James doesn't know how Chris did, so it's time for Amanda to break the news.

0:46:49 > 0:46:53I know you're doing this for your kids, and your kids must be so proud of you.

0:46:53 > 0:46:56Oh, they're going to be well proud of their dad. I love them to bits,

0:46:56 > 0:47:00and I can't wait to get home now and see them. I've done my bit.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02Time to grow old gracefully now.

0:47:02 > 0:47:08Well, it's not over yet. I can tell you, James, right now, Chris has been a brilliant contestant.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11And he's had a fighting spirit, but not fighting enough, Chris,

0:47:11 > 0:47:14because James has done better than you, he's been faster.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17I'm afraid you're going to have to go join the other guys.

0:47:17 > 0:47:18Well done.

0:47:18 > 0:47:21I'm proud of you. Brilliant, well done.

0:47:26 > 0:47:27Mum!

0:47:29 > 0:47:34That was an incredible run from James, so now it's all or nothing for Lee.

0:47:37 > 0:47:38HOOTER

0:47:39 > 0:47:44He doesn't know James's time, all he knows is he's got to go flat out.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50Lee's in the water.

0:48:02 > 0:48:07Facing the barrels now and leaping over them with ease.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08Wow!

0:48:08 > 0:48:10Makes the transfer to the wall.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13James was fast on the wall.

0:48:13 > 0:48:20Lee could do with a bit more speed here, I'm thinking, to secure that £10,000. He's being cautious.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Oh, no! He's in trouble now.

0:48:26 > 0:48:30That slip will cost him dear, quite possibly.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36The good news, he's fallen close to the ladder,

0:48:36 > 0:48:40but the bad news is Lee's already made one more mistake than James.

0:48:40 > 0:48:43That probably has cost him the win now, although Lee doesn't know that.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45Remember, he didn't see James's run.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47Now he's got to transfer to the spinner.

0:48:58 > 0:48:59A good landing.

0:49:01 > 0:49:05Up and on his feet and quickly across the beam. He slips!

0:49:11 > 0:49:13He's just pushing himself...

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Oh, disaster!

0:49:15 > 0:49:17Oh!

0:49:20 > 0:49:25Lee doesn't know what James did, all he knows is he's got to go flat out.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29You've got to admire his strength of character and strength of his nose!

0:49:33 > 0:49:35Up the ladder to tackle the launch pads again to make the finish.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38He has to finish the course. Come on, Lee!

0:49:40 > 0:49:43Launch pad one. Then the second launch pad.

0:49:50 > 0:49:55He's done it. Lee finishes in two minutes and 18 seconds.

0:49:57 > 0:50:01From beginning to end, that was a great run from Lee.

0:50:01 > 0:50:04On another show, he could well have been the winner, with that time.

0:50:04 > 0:50:09But James's extraordinary performance has denied him the £10,000.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11So, over to Amanda to break the news.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13Ow!

0:50:13 > 0:50:15Lee, come on out and join me.

0:50:18 > 0:50:21You had a couple of slip-ups there. What happened to you at the very end?

0:50:21 > 0:50:25Um...arms didn't have enough left on the wall, so...

0:50:25 > 0:50:27Obviously, I fell in.

0:50:27 > 0:50:33I knew I had to make the time up, so I bit the bullet and tried to do the two trampolines in one go.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35- Backfired a bit. - It did a little bit, I'm afraid.

0:50:35 > 0:50:41But you and James have been really close in time all day long.

0:50:41 > 0:50:44You've been really strong competition against each other.

0:50:44 > 0:50:47You made a great effort tonight, Lee, but unfortunately it wasn't

0:50:47 > 0:50:53good enough because, James, you are the Total Wipeout champion and the winner of £10,000!

0:50:53 > 0:50:55Congratulations!

0:51:02 > 0:51:06Well done to funeral director James Smith, who wins £10,000,

0:51:06 > 0:51:14and gets to join the exclusive club of Total Wipeout champions, which, ironically, costs £10,000 to join.

0:51:14 > 0:51:17See somebody after. So that's it for today's Total Wipeout.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19But join us next week for this.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23BELL TOLLS

0:51:23 > 0:51:26Oh, course, it's the end of the series.

0:51:26 > 0:51:31Well, I suppose, all that remains now is for me to say thank you to Amanda. Thank you, Amanda.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34And to say goodbye. Erm, goodbye.

0:51:34 > 0:51:39# To dream the impossible dream

0:51:40 > 0:51:47# To fight the unbeatable foe

0:51:47 > 0:51:52# To bear with unbearable sorrow

0:51:52 > 0:51:58# To run where the brave dare not go

0:51:58 > 0:52:01# This is my quest

0:52:01 > 0:52:04# To follow that star

0:52:04 > 0:52:07# No matter how hopeless

0:52:07 > 0:52:09# No matter how far

0:52:09 > 0:52:13# To fight for the right

0:52:13 > 0:52:15# Without question or cause

0:52:15 > 0:52:18# To be willing to march into hell

0:52:18 > 0:52:22# For a heavenly cause

0:52:22 > 0:52:27# To fight the unbeatable foe

0:52:27 > 0:52:35# To reach the unreachable star. #

0:52:45 > 0:52:47Is that it?
