0:00:02 > 0:00:05Buenos Aires, Argentina, and if you take that road there,
0:00:05 > 0:00:08then second left by a statue, you will get to...
0:00:08 > 0:00:11the Total Wipeout course, where today 20 of the bravest Brits,
0:00:11 > 0:00:17including a traffic warden, a hairdresser and, may the Lord be with him, a reverend,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20are about to put their bodies on the line
0:00:20 > 0:00:24and test themselves on the toughest obstacle course ever built,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27ever in the history of the world... ever!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Some will fail,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33most will fail, and only one will win.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34This is Total Wipeout.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Hello and welcome to a brand-new series of Total Wipeout
0:00:38 > 0:00:42where 20 normal British folk once again go toe to toe
0:00:42 > 0:00:45for a £10,000 prize and that warm, fuzzy feeling
0:00:45 > 0:00:48that comes with being a Total Wipeout champion.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50It's probably the bruising!
0:00:50 > 0:00:55You may have noticed that things here look pretty much the same, but let me tell you something.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59The Total Wipeout course most certainly isn't. Here's what's in store.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The Qualifier - it's new and improved.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08The Sweeper - it's new and more dangerous.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Dizzy Dummies - it's dizzier and dummier.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And the Grand Final, the Wipeout Zone -
0:01:14 > 0:01:16now even more wipeout-ing.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20So the course is new and improved,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23as is my co-host, Amanda Byram, who's...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26new and improved in some way, too.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Let's join her on the course where she's offering her help and support
0:01:30 > 0:01:33to the first of today's 20 brave contestants.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So I'm here now at the top of the Qualifier with Judi,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46who is a self-employed fraud investigator, so Judi,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- does that mean you can tell if I'm lying?- Hopefully, yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Well, let's test you. You are going to fall off the big red balls.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57You're lying, because I'm going to get across the big red balls!
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Good luck, Judi.- Thank you very much.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I might be small,
0:02:04 > 0:02:09but it's less far to fall! Bring on the big red balls!
0:02:09 > 0:02:10KLAXON
0:02:10 > 0:02:14So, 55-year-old fraud investigator Judi from Burton-on-Trent
0:02:14 > 0:02:17is first to take on the Total Wipeout Qualifier today.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21First up is a brand-new obstacle, Dodgeball,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25featuring the 1976 Argentinean Olympic dodgeball team,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29brought out of retirement as a result of the credit crunch
0:02:29 > 0:02:31and captained by Fidel Castro lookalike, Philippe.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34They've won competitions all over the world.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Now the only thing missing from their trophy cabinet
0:02:37 > 0:02:40is the head of an Englishman. How will Judge Judi fare?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Come on, man! Whoa!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Oh-oh!- Oh!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Ooh! Well done, Judi.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You managed to take the pace off the ball with your head!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Note to other competitors, though, these guys are good.- Score!
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Having taken an early swim,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Judge Judi must now get back on the pontoon as quick as she can
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and face another aerial assault. Go on, Judi... Oh!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The great thing about these guys, it doesn't matter if it's a man,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15woman or passer-by, they just want to hit it with the ball.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Anyway, Judge Judi about to finish.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yes, she's made it through being hit with balls,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24so why not get hit with punches? It's on to the Sucker Punch.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27The object here - quite simple - make your way to the other side
0:03:27 > 0:03:31without being hit by one of the 22 hydraulic boxing gloves.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Sounds easy, but... Well, Judi proving that it really isn't.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- A thorough investigation of the mud, though!- Come on, Judi!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41OK... She's made it out
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and must now face her toughest challenge yet...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48..the big balls.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Here we go.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Come on, kitty, kitty, kitty!- Eh?!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Is she calling the sheepdog? That's not going to help!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Anyway, I combined all the previous efforts attempted on Total Wipeout
0:04:03 > 0:04:07to work out the best way across and I came up with this.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Let's see what Judi comes up with.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17No, not even close! It is surprising how many people
0:04:17 > 0:04:21opt for the stunted-jump- hit-your-face-and-plummet technique!
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Oh, it's great to be back!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Judi must now make the long swim to the ladder,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29costing her more valuable time. Remember, only the fastest 12
0:04:29 > 0:04:31will make it through to the next round.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Come on, Judi!- Yes, Judi!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Come on!- Yes, up the ladder for the final obstacle -
0:04:40 > 0:04:44the Giant Strawberry... Sorry, I mean the Wrecking Ball.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47All she has to do is grab hold of the strawberry
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and swing across to the platform to stop the clock.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54We haven't seen any competitor try this obstacle yet.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55This is a first.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Whoo!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02How will it work?
0:05:05 > 0:05:10No, we're still none the wiser on how to do the Giant Strawberry!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Good leap, but she seemed to forget to use her hands.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Easy mistake, really(!)
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Right, Judi must now swim round to the platform and climb the steps
0:05:18 > 0:05:22to finish while the clock keeps ticking until she gets there.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24And she's done it!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- Yeah!- 4 minutes 15 seconds.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Will that be enough to see her into the top 12?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Joining me now at the top of the Qualifier is Phil. Now Phil,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- do you think you have what it takes to get through that Qualifier? - Certainly do.
0:05:39 > 0:05:45I've been doing a bit of cycling, I'm feeling good, I'm feeling fit and I'm raring to go.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Cycling?!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well, that'll definitely help.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50KLAXON
0:05:50 > 0:05:52He's off. Oh, very casual!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Let's hope he's not so casual on the rest of the course.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57He's forgotten his bike, look?
0:05:57 > 0:06:0038-year-old Phil is a business analyst from Manchester.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Should maybe analyse his walk here...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- It's a bit like a baby deer. - Come on, boy!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Fidel and the boys now sensing fresh prey for their dodgeballs.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Ow!- That's what you get for being cocky, Phil!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Well, he did pretty well to dodge the small red balls.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22How will he fare dodging the small red fists?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Yep, he's doing pretty well.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Could we be seeing early success on the Sucker Punch wall?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33No! No! I'm... Sorry!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Casual Phil makes his way up to the big balls now.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41He's got a determined look.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46What was that?!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's unorthodox, but still casual.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Yeah, just relax!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But this is still a good time.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01What Casual Phil has to do is cross the pool
0:07:01 > 0:07:06on the Wrecking Ball to finish. His cycling might come in handy here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, he can't hold on!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Come on!- Casual Phil has finished in a very respectable time, though.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- 2 minutes 40.- Yeah!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Yeah...yeah...yeah!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Yeah, I think he might have felt that...just a little bit(!)
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Here to bring a bit of class and sophistication
0:07:26 > 0:07:30is posh princess 18-year-old student from Norfolk, Jemma.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34That course is not going to beat this princess! Bring it on!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Um-hum. Regardless of that accent,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm confident she'll be one tough cookie
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- and tackle this like a Marine! - She's going to be a screamer!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Go away, go away! - SHE SCREAMS
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- Go away, stop it!- "Go away" - that'll help(!)
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Oh, I can't believe they haven't stopped(!)
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Ow!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- Genuinely cruel! - Come on, Jemma!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Jemma now tries her luck on the Sucker Board.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04She should be good - her daddy bought her a replica of the course.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05She's practised.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09She's doing very well. Go on, Jemma! Oh...!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Oh, it's bracing and good for one! Oh...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Do I get out here?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Yeah!- Oh.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20As opposed to where?
0:08:20 > 0:08:25So how will Princess Jemma fare on the big balls?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30- Ugh!- Ah! Have we underestimated her?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Has the personal Wipeout tutor her daddy paid for come in useful?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Good girl.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- Ooh!- No! No, not at all! - RICHARD LAUGHS
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Ah!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I'm not sure if she's just been told that the water's not bottled
0:08:46 > 0:08:48or that her trust fund has run out!
0:08:48 > 0:08:54Just breathe. You're fine. Keep going, it's all about speed.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Now, it may look like Princess Jemma is going slowly,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01but under the water is her butler carrying her on a silver tray(!)
0:09:01 > 0:09:04She did eventually finish in a time of 3 minutes 56.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Another run scuppered by the big balls!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08That was really hard!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11This next contestant might be calling on some assistance
0:09:11 > 0:09:13from a higher power when he takes to the course.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16He is 52-year-old church minister Peter,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20and he is of course in touch with the big fella on a regular basis.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Say your prayers, Peter!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26In the name of the Father, in the name of the Son,
0:09:26 > 0:09:30and in the name of the Holy Spirit, so help me, God!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I think that might be cheating, Peter!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Let us pray that St Peter makes it past the dodgeball boys.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Right.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Now, boys, don't forget I'm a man of the cloth.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44If you get me, you've had it!
0:09:44 > 0:09:48You'll only make them angry! He's threatened the ball boys.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50They show no favouritism and no mercy.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well, that wasn't very nice!
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Oh!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Get off! Right, hold on!- Peter used to be a professional referee
0:09:58 > 0:09:59before joining the Church,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02so will be used to being abused by grown men with balls.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05He's doing pretty well, though.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Look at that!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Biblical story unfolding in front of us!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12He's taken a dive, and quite a spectacular one, too.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Let's have a look. Oh!
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Yes!
0:10:16 > 0:10:21# Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah... #
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Is that to inspire us...or him?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25On to the big balls for St Peter.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- This is it!- He's ready.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Ooh, that is quite a fall!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35And they say God moves in mysterious ways!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38No, no explaining that, and no divine intervention
0:10:38 > 0:10:41going to stop St Peter collecting a face full of rubber.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Hallelujah!- Here endeth the lesson.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46St Peter finishes in a time of 5 minutes 4 seconds.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Sadly, it is the slowest time so far today.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53This is 25-year-old James from Kent.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58He's a nuclear safety engineer, so, basically, he's Homer Simpson.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Unlike Homer Simpson, however, James thinks he's a bit of a genius.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- For all the nerds and boffins, this is to show we're not all square.- Ah!
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Apparently, James has asked us not to take the mickey out of his job.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14That's awkward(!) Anyway, smarty-pants James
0:11:14 > 0:11:16says he's worked out his chances of winning.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18He reckons it's around 1 in 20.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Genius! Apparently, nuclear James's party trick is wiggling his ears.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Note to self - don't go to James's party.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Right, come on, then, fella. This is it,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31the big balls, here we go! Ooh!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I wasn't expecting that!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Now, this looks promising!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yes, yes...no!
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Ooh!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Sadly, this nuclear engineer
0:11:42 > 0:11:47has gone into meltdown and fallen just short of the platform.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50That was impressive, although pretty jammy, I suspect!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53After a swim and a climb to the finish,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56he's glowing and, for once, it's not caused by his job!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Nuclear James records the fastest time of the day so far -
0:11:59 > 0:12:002 minutes and 8 seconds.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05As I've said before, the Total Wipeout course does not discriminate in any way.
0:12:05 > 0:12:12It is happy to chew up, mangle and spit out men and women of all shapes and sizes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15And I do mean ALL shapes and sizes!
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Meet the unusual suspects.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Chris is a 6ft 8in traffic warden from Bury.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Kelly is a student from Middlesbrough. She's 4ft 11in.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29That's Kev, a policeman from Stevenage, and he's 6ft 4in,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33and that's Hazel. She's a sales administrator from Reading
0:12:33 > 0:12:38and is 4ft 11in. Let's see if size really does matter.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42# She's a perfect 10 but she wears a 12
0:12:42 > 0:12:45# Baby, keep a little two for me. #
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Daddy Cool, and I'm here to rule!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49KLAXON
0:12:49 > 0:12:51# ..Bustin' out of the seams
0:12:51 > 0:12:55# It's still love in the first degree
0:12:55 > 0:12:58# When he's at my gate
0:12:58 > 0:13:00# With a big, fat eight
0:13:00 > 0:13:05# You want to see this smile on my face
0:13:05 > 0:13:07# And even at my door
0:13:07 > 0:13:10# With a poor, poor four
0:13:10 > 0:13:13# There ain't no man can replace
0:13:13 > 0:13:15# Cos we love our love
0:13:15 > 0:13:18# In different sizes
0:13:18 > 0:13:20# I love her body
0:13:20 > 0:13:22# Especially the lies
0:13:22 > 0:13:24# Time takes its toll
0:13:24 > 0:13:28# But not on the eyes
0:13:28 > 0:13:30# Promise me this Take me tonight... #
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's hear what Kelly's got planned for the big balls.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- I'm going to do a bit of a special on the red balls.- What's the special?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I'm going to do a handspring over them,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43so you land on your feet, then you go on your hands, then back on your feet.
0:13:43 > 0:13:51Ambitious! Does anyone else think this might not go entirely well? No!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Yeah, that's not worked!
0:13:57 > 0:14:01How about traffic warden, Chris? How will he do?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04No! What about constable Kev?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Er, no, no!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Maybe Hazel's got it sussed!
0:14:12 > 0:14:13Ah!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Whoo!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19# ..I love her body Especially the lies
0:14:19 > 0:14:21# Time takes its toll
0:14:21 > 0:14:24# But not on the eyes
0:14:24 > 0:14:26# Promise me this
0:14:26 > 0:14:30# Take me tonight... #
0:14:30 > 0:14:33SHE SCREAMS
0:14:33 > 0:14:35That was brilliant!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38A fantastic finish there from Kelly,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42and she becomes the first person to land the wrecking ball today.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46So the first leader board looks like this. Tiny Kelly is in top spot,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Nuclear James is 2nd and Casual Phil is 3rd,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Constable Kev is 4th, Tower of Chris is 5th
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and Princess Jemma is 6th.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Judge Judi is 7th, St Peter is in 8th,
0:14:57 > 0:14:58and Hazel is 9th.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Tonight, one contestant will be crowned Total Wipeout Champion
0:15:02 > 0:15:07and walk away with £10,000, but all will not be lost for the two losers.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Well, it will, they'll have lost, but all three finalists,
0:15:11 > 0:15:12the winner and the losers,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16will return at the end of the series to compete in a grand final,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19where the champion of champions is going to be crowned.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Now, for this series, the BBC said to me,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25"We'd really like you to visit the Total Wipeout course for yourself,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28"maybe record a series of reports."
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I immediately replied, "No, it's in Argentina, that's miles away!"
0:15:32 > 0:15:37So they said, "You do understand that your job could essentially be done by a trained monkey?"
0:15:37 > 0:15:42So, here's my first report from Argentina on the do's and don'ts of Total Wipeout.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Do you ever contemplate the majesty and wonder
0:15:51 > 0:15:54of this universe in which we live?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Nah! Neither do I!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Do you like to laugh at people falling off these bad boys?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Yep, so do I.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04These, then, are my do's and don'ts for success on the big balls.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Don't taunt the big balls...
0:16:07 > 0:16:08they don't like it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The balls, they don't do nothing for me!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Come on, you big fat balls!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Come on, then, you big red balls!
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Do find a unique and original way to fall off.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Do you know, I think I could do this!
0:16:32 > 0:16:38Don't just run as fast as you can and hope it'll all turn out right in the end.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40It won't!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You know, I'm serious about this. I'm going to have a go.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Don't ever, ever stop believing.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Yep, as I thought!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17All down to confidence. Easy!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27So, having proved it's really not that hard, let's see if 35-year-old
0:17:27 > 0:17:32clerk from Essex, Sam, can take any of my priceless tips on board.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Oh, sadly, no.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39How about 30-year-old pub landlord from Watchet in Somerset, Ross Nutticombe?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Watch it, Ross, that looked like a face plant to me!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Does 37-year-old garden centre owner
0:17:48 > 0:17:52and mother-of-two from Nottingham, Tara, have any surprises for us?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm feeling fit, I'm feeling strong!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Wipeout course, bring it on!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Yes, there she goes!
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Oh, my word! A cartwheel off the second ball. Let's see that again.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Oh!
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Magnificent!
0:18:10 > 0:18:16Yeah, it's not really a time for showboating, though, is it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:25So it's on to the wrecking ball for Tara. Here we go.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26No.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Ross - no.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32And Sam - nearly... No!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yay!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Come on!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Yes!
0:18:39 > 0:18:44This is 45-year-old property manager Stephen, and he likes smiling...
0:18:44 > 0:18:48a lot! He also says he looks like Hugh Grant...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Mmm, as do I(!)
0:18:50 > 0:18:54I'm Smiley Sucker Punch Stephen from Weymouth and I'm doing this for me.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Very good, Stephen. - Bring on the Sucker Punch!
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Any man with his own nickname and T-shirt to match has to be good at this!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oh!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Well, that was a let-down! - My thoughts exactly!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I shall rename him Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15He's actually rubbish at smiling, too, right now!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17So, after failing on the Sucker Punch,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21how will Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen cope with the big balls?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Really badly!
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Have a seat, sir. Don't mind if I do! Oh!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Stephen now needs to get up there as quick as he can
0:19:37 > 0:19:40if he wants to get into the top 12 and go through to the next round.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Come on, just the wrecking ball to go. Keep smiling, this is it!
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Oh, ooh, yes! Well done, Stephen!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Only the second person to land on that podium today.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen - 2 minutes 37 seconds,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01which leaves him safely in the top 12...for now!
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Hooray!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05That'll put the smile back on his face!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08This is 43-year-old police diver Marion.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I'm Marion! I'm here to make mincemeat out of those Merry Men!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14There's nothing merry about those men!
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Marion is a police officer and so always on the lookout for trouble.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Now she's going to find herself in a whole heap of it now!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Not yet! Come on!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Be careful what you wish for, Marion!
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Bring it on!
0:20:28 > 0:20:32And yes, they appear to have brought it on more than sufficiently!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35We'll leave Marion to it while she tries to solve the crime.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38My deduction is that it's the Castro lookalike that did it
0:20:38 > 0:20:41with the red ball on the giant obstacle course.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Another glance at the leader board
0:20:43 > 0:20:46sees Tiny Kelly still up there in 1st place,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48with Nuclear James in 2nd
0:20:48 > 0:20:49and Cartwheeling Tara in 3rd.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen is 4th,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Constable Kev, 6th, CSI Marion made it out of the water and is 7th,
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Tower of Chris is 8th,
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Princess Jemma is 10th and Judge Judi is 12th.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06So far, 14 competitors have faced the awe-inspiring dodgeball team,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10captained by the enigmatic Fidel Castro lookalike.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Never have so many been hit by so many, thrown by so many,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18mostly moustachioed dodgeball players, across...
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It's never happened before!
0:21:53 > 0:21:58How will 27-year-old account manager from Reading, Karima, fare
0:21:58 > 0:22:02when faced with a barrage of high-velocity balls aimed at her head?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- Be nice to me! No, no, no, no!- Oh!
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Sadly, Karima has elected to fend that ball off with her skull!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Be nice!- They don't know the meaning of the word "nice", Karima!
0:22:15 > 0:22:16They speak Spanish.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Off the face!
0:22:26 > 0:22:30This young lady is 27-year-old PE and maths teacher
0:22:30 > 0:22:32from Stoke-on-Trent, Claire.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Believe, achieve, succeed!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Not her words but the words of her school motto.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Thankfully, Claire has remembered her sports kit
0:22:42 > 0:22:46or else she'd have to do the course in her vest and pants.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Claire's doing quite an incredible job of avoiding the balls.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52It's like she's wearing a magic deflector kit!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Ka-pat!- Whoa!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Ooh, spoke too soon! Fidel on form today!
0:22:56 > 0:23:02This is bouncy, stretchy 25-year-old recruitment officer from Sheffield, Becky.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I'm going to get across those balls, beat all the boys and win it! Whoo!
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Yes, well, off you go, then.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16She's quick...and she's made it across unscathed.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Becky is the only person observing the "dodge" part of "dodgeball"
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- and is showing the rest how it's done.- Come on, Becky!
0:23:24 > 0:23:26That's clear. On to the Sucker Punch.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Ouch, ouch and again.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Those punches literally bouncing off her. Oh, apart from that one.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Spoke too soon!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Ooh!
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Right, moving on to the big balls.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Come on, big red ball!- Yes.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Let's see if Becky's bounciness and stretchiness helps at all.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Here she goes.
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Ooh!
0:23:52 > 0:23:56A very good effort, determined and finished with
0:23:56 > 0:23:58a rather graceful dive.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02That is a very impressive 1 minute 46,
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- which now makes Becky the fastest competitor today.- Well done!
0:24:09 > 0:24:13# The look of love
0:24:15 > 0:24:18# Is in your eyes... #
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Now, who's this? He doesn't look very happy.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25I'm strong, I'm tough, now watch me strut my stuff! Come on!
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Yes, well, seems like a rather manly chap.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Oh, no, that's more like ballet to me.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34CREAK!
0:24:34 > 0:24:37A little birdie tells me, Ben,
0:24:37 > 0:24:41that victory isn't the only thing you're looking for at Total Wipeout. Would that be true?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- I've seen a couple of shows, and you've got a lot of good-looking girls on here...- Is that right?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49KLAXON
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Don't you just hate friends who think they're funny?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55This is in fact 20-year-old student from Market Harborough, Ben.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58He's up...and away.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Ooh! Struggling to find his feet a bit here.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Ooh!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Ah, keeping very low.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11They can't knock you over if you're already over!
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Oh!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Come on, Ben!
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Helpful words, as always, from the ever-supportive Amanda.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Now, the Sucker Punch. Ooh!
0:25:23 > 0:25:26He's doing very well. Ooh!
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Could he be the first across today?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33No... Oh.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Right, on to the big balls for Big Ben who will be good at this,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43because he's a trampoline coach. So let's see how the experts do it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, dear!
0:25:53 > 0:25:56As I thought, much like everyone else!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Yes, no trampolining going on at all!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Just the wrecking ball to go.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12# I'm not going to take it easy You won't get away tonight
0:26:12 > 0:26:14# Mr Loverman
0:26:14 > 0:26:16# You know it is Mr Loverman
0:26:16 > 0:26:19# Mr Loverman
0:26:19 > 0:26:21# Shabba! #
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Amanda, concentrate, yeah?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Here he goes.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Yeah. That was perfect - if the object was to belly-charge
0:26:32 > 0:26:34the wrecking ball. He won...!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36But it doesn't help his time.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Love Shed Ben finally makes it to the finish line
0:26:39 > 0:26:41in a time of 3 minutes 51.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I am going to have to bite the bullet
0:26:43 > 0:26:45and say, "Yeah, it was too much for me."
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Yeah, it was.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's great to come out here,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51and what an opportunity for anyone.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's one of the best things to do in the world.
0:26:54 > 0:27:00ONE of?! The penultimate contestant is 24-year-old shop supervisor Jack, from Leamington Spa.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02This is for all the freckly foxes out there.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Watch me rip up this course!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Mmm... I fear that Jack may clash with the big red balls!
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Still, we'll see! Now, he says he's a sporty chap
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and lists his strengths as jumping and climbing.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Ah, ooh, ow!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21He can add attracting dodgeballs to his CV as well,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25although in my experience, it doesn't really help you get work. He's in! On to the big balls
0:27:25 > 0:27:29where his jumping skills should come into their own. That is a clash!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33What was that?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Literally ran across the balls and got a hand onto the fourth one.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Good effort, Jumping Jack.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Just the wrecking ball, to finish what is a seriously quick run.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Launch...oh, there you go.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51No, not quite! That's going to cost him valuable time.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Jumping Jack crawls to the finish line in a time of 1 minute 43,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58and that is now the quickest time today.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So, 19 down and only one left to go.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05He's been waiting in the Argentinean sun all day for his chance,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07and it's finally arrived.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12This is 37-year-old hairdresser from Lancashire, Jonny. Hold on a minute.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Is there something wrong with the screen? No, that is just his tan.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- So we're here now with Jonny from Lancashire. Hi, Jonny!- Hi, Amanda.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24- If you won, what would you do with the money?- The wife wants to get a new conservatory,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28and I want to get the latest sunbed so I can be even browner than I already am!
0:28:28 > 0:28:31All I can say is that that is tan-tastic!
0:28:31 > 0:28:32- Tan-tastic!- Good luck, Jonny.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37- Thank you.- Yeah, he's going to need it if he wants to get into the top 12.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Here's...Jonny!
0:28:41 > 0:28:44OK. He looks like he means business and he's off.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48How will the man in the orange skin fare against the men in red suits?
0:28:52 > 0:28:53Oh!
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Oh, not very well. That may slow him down just a little bit. He's in!
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Dodgeball boys have saved their best till last -
0:29:01 > 0:29:04a fine shot that's completely taken Sunbed Jonny out.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Come on, Jonny, the clock's still ticking.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It hasn't washed off.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12On to the big balls. Think of that sunbed, Jonny. Come on!
0:29:12 > 0:29:13- Let's do it!- Yes, let's!
0:29:13 > 0:29:15RICHARD GIGGLES
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Well, was that what you meant?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Oh, my word, his knees have totally given out.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Just folded. That is quite a fall.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Only the wrecking ball to go for Sunbed Jonny
0:29:29 > 0:29:33and he can still make it into the top 12 with a good finish,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36so come on, Jonny, this is it, everything to play for here.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- Here he goes.- Argh!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40No, he's lost his footing,
0:29:40 > 0:29:44fallen flat on his face and completely misses the ball!
0:29:46 > 0:29:48No, that didn't help.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53Jonny has made it to the finish line in a time of 3 minutes 56.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- That was horrific.- Not easy? - Worst thing I've ever done!
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- I think you knocked your tan clean off!- How did I do?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- How do you think you did?- Terrible!
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Not terrible, but not good enough, Jonny.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Here are the lucky 12 that made the cut.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Jumping Jack is our fastest qualifier,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Bouncy Becky is in 2nd, with Tiny Kelly in 3rd. Well done, ladies.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Nuclear James is 4th, Cartwheeling Tara is 5th
0:30:17 > 0:30:20and Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen is 6th.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Constable Kev is 8th, Karima the Screamer is 9th,
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Tower of Chris 11th and in 12th is "Believe, Achieve, Succeed" Claire.
0:30:27 > 0:30:32But before we move on, and their achievements fade from our memory,
0:30:32 > 0:30:37and their faces, what they did, what they said, their names,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40let us pay tribute to the eight gallant competitors
0:30:40 > 0:30:43who didn't make it but gave us so much joy along the way.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47MUSIC: "The Winner Takes It All" by ABBA
0:31:20 > 0:31:24It's back, but this time there's not just one sweeper arm, there's two.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Introducing the Crusher -
0:31:27 > 0:31:32the two hydraulic sweeper arms simultaneously rotate faster and faster,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36whilst at the same time moving closer and closer together.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41The competitors must jump one rotating arm whilst avoiding having their heads taken off by the other.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Starting with 12, the first seven to fall will be eliminated.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48The remaining five go through to the next round. It keeps on sweeping
0:31:48 > 0:31:51until there is one last man or woman standing
0:31:51 > 0:31:54and they will be crowned the King or Queen of the Crusher.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Let's meet the daring dozen.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01On podiums one and two, it's Tiny Kelly...
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Don't underestimate my height!
0:32:03 > 0:32:05These legs are made for jumping.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07..and Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen...
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Goodbye, Sucker Punch Stephen! Hello, Sweeper Stephen!
0:32:11 > 0:32:16On podiums three, four and five, it's Karima the Screamer,
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Cartwheeling Tara and Homer Simpson...I mean Nuclear James.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24On podiums six, seven and eight,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27it's "Believe, Achieve, Succeed" Claire,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Casual Phil and Tower of Chris.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- I want me mum!- OK, Chris.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38On podiums nine and ten, it's CSI Marion and Bouncy Becky.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Never mind Last Man Standing, I'm going to be the last woman standing!
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Yep, that's what they all say, Becky! And to round things off,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48on podiums 11 and 12, it's Constable Kev...
0:32:48 > 0:32:49and Jumping Jack.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53I'm the Red Fox and I'm going to hop over this garden fence!
0:32:53 > 0:32:58Jumping Jack making absolutely no sense there whatsoever.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We've left them waiting wobblingly on those podiums long enough.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Let's head to the course where Amanda is ready to get the action underway.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09I'm very excited, cos it's time for the Sweeper. How are you all feeling?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12THEY CHEER
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Not very convincing!
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Ready, unsteady, go!
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Off it goes. Will the Crusher prove as deadly as his one-arm predecessor?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Slow and steady to start. Oh!
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Stephen!- The Crusher claims its first victim.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Rubbish At The Sucker Punch Stephen is off,
0:33:29 > 0:33:32and that should wipe the smile off his face for good!
0:33:32 > 0:33:33He's out!
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I just lost it, really stupidly, but there you go, that's life!
0:33:39 > 0:33:44How will that early fall affect the rest of the competitors?
0:33:44 > 0:33:4711 remain. Remember, only five can go through to the next round.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The Crusher arm is really speeding up now...
0:33:58 > 0:33:59..but this lot are doing very well.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Ooh, a slip there from Constable Kev,
0:34:06 > 0:34:10but he's managed to stay on his podium. That was close, and he knows it.
0:34:10 > 0:34:1311 of the original 12 are still standing, then.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17The only faller so far is Rubbish At The Sweeper Stephen.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Come on, Chris, don't let your big feet let you down.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Chris is 6 foot 8 and he'll have to keep up the jumping and the ducking
0:34:26 > 0:34:33if he wants to stay that tall! That arm is rotating seriously fast now. Only one competitor has fallen.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36The tension up on those podiums must be unbearable.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39If they fall off now, they can kiss goodbye to that ten grand.
0:34:39 > 0:34:45Oh, they're a determined lot at this. Somebody fall!
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Still in the game are Kelly,
0:34:49 > 0:34:55Karima, Tara, James, Claire, Phil, Chris, Marion, Becky, Kev and Jack.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Crusher arm moving around at such a rate now.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09The remaining contestants barely have time to compose themselves between jumps.
0:35:09 > 0:35:15We've started off a new obstacle with the world's best practitioners of it! Round and round it goes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:23The bottom arm is gradually moving up now, making it harder to jump through the gap.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Ooh! It clipped Tiny Kelly's leg, but she's stayed on!
0:35:27 > 0:35:31Karima's gone, and Tara, and that's Claire down as well.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36This is absolute carnage! Chris is off, and what on earth was that?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Marion makes a right mess of it and falls as well.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Becky just makes it over, Constable Kev has another moment
0:35:42 > 0:35:45but manages to hold on, again.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Let's take another look at that pile-up and work out exactly who's gone and who's still standing.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57That's Tiny Kelly, just managing to stay on her podium,
0:35:57 > 0:36:02but then Karima the Screamer falls spectacularly,
0:36:02 > 0:36:07Tara miss-times her jump which sends her into a 360-degree spin, again.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Nuclear James makes it OK, but then Claire is taken out swiftly,
0:36:12 > 0:36:16followed by Casual Phil.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21Tower of Chris chickens out and he's knocked off, then CSI Marion
0:36:21 > 0:36:25thinks she's made it through and makes a complete mess of her jump.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27She's got herself in a muddle, though.
0:36:27 > 0:36:33She's not made it and is the seventh person to fall, the last person to be eliminated.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37There are only five competitors left, who will all go through to the next round.
0:36:37 > 0:36:43I don't know if I'm mistaken or not, but I think the same round took quite a few of us out!
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Nothing like stating the bleeding obvious, Karima!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50That was honestly amazing. I can't believe I lasted so long!
0:36:52 > 0:36:57I thought I was last five. I looked up and there were still five people on the podium, so I'm gutted.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59CRUNCH!
0:36:59 > 0:37:00Ouch!
0:37:00 > 0:37:04So still standing are Tiny Kelly -
0:37:04 > 0:37:10just - Nuclear James, Bouncy Becky, Constable Kev and Jumping Jack.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13All five go through to the next round,
0:37:13 > 0:37:17but who will be the last one standing and the very first King or Queen of the Crusher?
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Ooh, not Kelly!
0:37:20 > 0:37:24At 4 feet 11, Tiny Kelly didn't stand a chance there.
0:37:24 > 0:37:30The Crusher was up round her waist. She finishes with an old-fashioned face plant for good measure.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32That's one for the Total Wipeout archives.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Still, she's safely into the next round. Well, maybe not safe!
0:37:36 > 0:37:40So, Becky, Kev, Jack and James... Oh, no, Nuclear James has gone.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44He's landed on his face instead of his feet. Not very smart.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Only three are still standing.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Becky, Kev and Jack.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57And these three are doing amazingly well.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00The Crusher arm now getting higher and higher.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Oh! Constable Kev's gone, so has Jumping Jack.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09A fine jump there from Becky, calling on all her bounciness,
0:38:09 > 0:38:14but Kev gets it very wrong, and Jack miss-times his jump, so Bouncy Becky
0:38:14 > 0:38:18is the last woman standing and the very first Queen of the Crusher!
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Go, Becky!
0:38:22 > 0:38:25So, we started with 20, then we had 12,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28and now only the five least rubbish remain,
0:38:28 > 0:38:31each of them within touching distance of that £10,000 prize
0:38:31 > 0:38:36and being crowned the first Total Wipeout winner of this new series,
0:38:36 > 0:38:38but we still need to lose two more
0:38:38 > 0:38:43and what better way to do that than to spin them all silly and make them jump over more stuff?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45It's time for Dizzy Dummies.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Here's how it works.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55Competitors spin for 40 sickening seconds on that high-speed roulette wheel.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00They're released to wander through the stumbling saloon doors or squeeze through the crazy cut-outs.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05If they somehow get past those, they must make their way across the ever-so-slippery cylinder run
0:39:05 > 0:39:07and the downright difficult doughnut run.
0:39:07 > 0:39:14The game is run twice. Each time, the last person over is eliminated, leaving us with the two finalists,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16so, to put it bluntly, don't come last!
0:39:20 > 0:39:26Just how dizzy can a dummy be? Well, this dummy is really, really dizzy,
0:39:26 > 0:39:29and I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about this.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Are you all ready?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34Yeah...
0:39:34 > 0:39:38I'm going to go ahead and say that was a no.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Three, two, one!
0:39:40 > 0:39:41KLAXON
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Let's just remind ourselves who the Dizzy Dummies are.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51First up, she's like a stick of dynamite - small and explosive.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Don't underestimate my height! These legs are made for jumping!
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It's Tiny Kelly.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02That's part-time cartoon character, full-time nuclear expert...
0:40:02 > 0:40:06For all the nerds and boffins, this is to show we're not all square.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08..Nuclear James.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Next it's the screaming Queen of the Crusher...
0:40:12 > 0:40:15I'm going to beat all the boys and win it! Whoo!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18..Bouncing Becky!
0:40:18 > 0:40:22He's the feet on the street, all 6 feet 4 of him.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23It's Constable Kev.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27# Daddy, Daddy Cool
0:40:27 > 0:40:29# Daddy, Daddy Cool! #
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Finally, he likes jumping a lot and was the faster qualifier.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40This is for all the freckly foxes out there!
0:40:40 > 0:40:42It's Jumping Jack.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47And they're off...
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Kelly's through the saloon doors first
0:40:50 > 0:40:54and on to the cylinder run and she's just hopping her way across!
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Yes! Maybe dizziness doesn't go down that low,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01because she seems completely unaffected and she's safe.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Jumping Jack, Nuclear James and Bouncy Becky
0:41:04 > 0:41:06have all come a cropper.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Constable Kev seems to be standing off and waiting for some back-up, maybe.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Come on, Kev!
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- Uh-huh!- Daddy Long Legs!
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Oh! Back to the start for Kev.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- Let's see if James can do it for the geeks.- Maybe he can, maybe he can!
0:41:24 > 0:41:28No, he can't. He's fallen! Can he push himself onto the pontoon?
0:41:28 > 0:41:32No, he can't! Back to the start for James as well.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Bouncy Becky now. Here we go.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Nope, she's in again!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Now it's Kev's turn.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Come on, Kev!
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Taking his time. Preparing. Here he goes, here he goes!
0:41:50 > 0:41:57Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... Oh, no, no! Kev's off again!
0:41:57 > 0:42:01Constable Kev agonisingly close there.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Can Jumping Jack join Kelly?
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Ooh, this looks good!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Well, not good, it looks ridiculous, but, yes, he can!
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Shop supervisor Jack is safe.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Can James follow Jack's lead? No, he can't, and that looked painful.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Now it's Becky's turn again.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23She's a strong competitor.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- She's away. Oh, no, no, ooh! - SHE SCREAMS
0:42:27 > 0:42:32And she's in again! Remember, the last to cross will be eliminated.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- This is your time.- Here he goes!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Yes, Constable Kev has made it across, and I think he's pleased(!)
0:42:40 > 0:42:43STIRRING CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:42:47 > 0:42:50I love it when we try and get moving with this show!
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Now, only Nuclear James and Bouncy Becky are left,
0:42:54 > 0:42:58and one of them will be eliminated. Becky's fallen in again.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02The Queen of the Crusher is really in trouble here. Here comes Nuclear James. He's done it.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04SHE GIGGLES
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Come on!
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Bouncy Becky, the Queen of the Crusher, is out.
0:43:10 > 0:43:16- Becky, what went wrong?- I don't know. It's just so slippy and when you're all disorientated,
0:43:16 > 0:43:19you just don't know which way you're supposed to be going!
0:43:19 > 0:43:24I suggest you take a left out of the gate and head straight for the airport, Becky.
0:43:24 > 0:43:29Now, only four are left, and one final competitor is about to be eliminated,
0:43:29 > 0:43:32this time by the Doughnut Run.
0:43:32 > 0:43:37People, names, Doughnut Run - it's not very frightening!
0:43:37 > 0:43:39"Ah, doughnut!" It's just...think!
0:43:41 > 0:43:45So these four will now be spun for another 40 seconds
0:43:45 > 0:43:49until they're so dizzy they can't think straight, let alone walk straight.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53Remember, the last one across the Doughnut Run will be eliminated,
0:43:53 > 0:43:56and the remaining three will go through to the Wipeout Zone,
0:43:56 > 0:44:00where they'll have one last chance to win that £10,000 prize.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01Here we go. They're off.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04James and Kelly out first.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06James the first to attack the crazy cut-outs.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Hang on! What's Constable Kev doing?
0:44:08 > 0:44:12Oh, looks like he's off for a spot of line-dancing!
0:44:12 > 0:44:19Meanwhile, Homer Simpson-a-like James is predictably enjoying the doughnuts.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Mmm! Kelly's fallen just behind him. James leaps.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Can he make it?
0:44:27 > 0:44:31Yes, he can! He pulls himself up! He's first to the Wipeout Zone.
0:44:31 > 0:44:36As he pushes off, the doughnut goes backwards, but he's just about made it.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Ooh, Jumping Jack now, he's made the jump
0:44:39 > 0:44:42and joins Nuclear James in the Wipeout Zone.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46Yeah, watch out for the camera, Jack! Oh! Costs us money!
0:44:46 > 0:44:53So, Tiny Kelly and Constable Kev are left, but only one of them can join Jack and James in the Wipeout Zone.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Here she goes...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Oh-h-h-h-h!
0:45:00 > 0:45:05This jump, then, for a place in the Wipeout Zone. This is it!
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- She's like a little raggedy doll! - Oh, no!
0:45:09 > 0:45:12She'll have to try again! Oh!
0:45:12 > 0:45:14Her feet going like a cartoon character,
0:45:14 > 0:45:17and she can't quite make it back to the start for Kelly.
0:45:20 > 0:45:24Kev employing a "slide across the bonnet of his police car" technique
0:45:24 > 0:45:27as Kelly wanders back for another go.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
0:45:29 > 0:45:33Steadies himself for a final jump...
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Oh, he's fallen! Kelly's made her jump.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Can she capitalise on Kev's mistake?
0:45:40 > 0:45:45Oh, safely onto the third doughnut. This is where she fell before.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48They are very slippy.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53It must look such a long way to jump for 4 feet 11 Kelly, but she's made it!
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Tiny Kelly is through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59I could have called her Condensed Kelly!
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Constable Kev is out.
0:46:01 > 0:46:07Come here! Ten out of ten for effort. That was unbelievable!
0:46:07 > 0:46:09What happened?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11I just couldn't get any grip.
0:46:11 > 0:46:14- Did you see who you got beaten by? - Someone half my size!
0:46:14 > 0:46:19She is about as big as my daughter, but what a girl, what a girl!
0:46:19 > 0:46:24That was a truly titanic battle for the last place in the final between Condensed Kelly
0:46:24 > 0:46:29and Constable Kev, and it will be Kelly that joins Nuclear James and Jumping Jack
0:46:29 > 0:46:31in the Wipeout Zone, but let's remind ourselves
0:46:31 > 0:46:35what they've all been through en route to the final today.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42The whole Total Wipeout experience has been the hardest thing I've ever done.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48Getting to this point means a lot to me,
0:46:48 > 0:46:53because I think some people at home thought that I wouldn't get through.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Unbelievable to be in this situation, really.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59One minute I can't think straight, the next minute I'm chilled out,
0:46:59 > 0:47:01the next minute I can't think straight.
0:47:01 > 0:47:08Whilst doing Total Wipeout, I've learnt that I've got a bit more fight in me than I thought I did.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13I think I've proved to myself that I'm a lot fitter than what I thought I was.
0:47:13 > 0:47:17It does go to show that people that sit behind a desk in an office every day,
0:47:17 > 0:47:21they can really push themselves and have fun.
0:47:23 > 0:47:27As darkness falls, it will get a lot more competitive.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29That's when it's really going to kick in.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Tonight I'm going to give it 120%.
0:47:35 > 0:47:41To win in Total Wipeout would really be a lifelong dream. I'd be over the moon if I won today.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45I've done well to get to this stage,
0:47:45 > 0:47:48but this'd put the icing on the cake if I was to win.
0:47:48 > 0:47:53Yes, we're down to the final three contenders who are currently limbering up for the Wipeout Zone.
0:47:53 > 0:47:58The winner will secure that £10,000 prize and something maybe even more valuable -
0:47:58 > 0:48:03the title of the first Total Wipeout champion of the new series...
0:48:03 > 0:48:05but mostly, it's the ten grand!
0:48:10 > 0:48:15Before the three finalists take to the Wipeout Zone, let's see what perils await the plucky trio.
0:48:15 > 0:48:21First up, it's a high-speed slide down the Killer Surf, then it's a short swim to the Barrel Run,
0:48:21 > 0:48:23where a barrage of 50kg barrels awaits them.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Next up, the Argentineans found a discarded ladder in a skip,
0:48:27 > 0:48:31welded it onto the old climbing wall and called it the Monkey Bars,
0:48:31 > 0:48:37and then it's the fast-moving Spinner - hard to get on, even harder to get off.
0:48:37 > 0:48:38Then another new obstacle...
0:48:38 > 0:48:42It looks more like the insides of a giant vacuum cleaner, but it's called the Brusher.
0:48:42 > 0:48:48A quick one-two on the Launch Pads and onto the finish podium, where the clock will stop - easy!
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Well, we've waited long enough.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Let's join Amanda, who is ready to get the action underway.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57It's time now for one to get the Total Wipeout title
0:48:57 > 0:49:03and for two to get totally wiped out! First to go tonight is Kelly.
0:49:05 > 0:49:10So, first to face the new Wipeout Zone is pint-sized student from Middlesbrough, Tiny Kelly.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13She's been one of the strongest competitors all day.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Go for it!
0:49:15 > 0:49:16KLAXON
0:49:16 > 0:49:18And she's off!
0:49:25 > 0:49:29Kelly opting for the breast stroke. No, she's gone for the front crawl. Good choice!
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Now, the Barrel Run where she'll be greeted
0:49:32 > 0:49:35by a series of 50kg barrels rolling towards her.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38Don't forget, that slope is covered in grease.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40She's tearing up that slope.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Oh, she's been hit by that first barrel. That's going to slow her down.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Good recovery, though.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48She's still moving on.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51The belly flop technique working well for Tiny Kelly.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53On to the Monkey Bars now.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59- Tiny Kelly has to travel across to the other side...- Come on, Kelly!
0:49:59 > 0:50:03..whilst a torrent of cold water does its best to knock her off.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07It's got to be hard to see where you're going, but she's doing well.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16She's made it across. She's there. Now it's onto the Spinner.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Timing is everything.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21And she's timed her jump perfectly. She's on first time.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Now for the tricky bit -
0:50:23 > 0:50:24getting off again.
0:50:26 > 0:50:30She's got to choose her moment, but can't waste too much time.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Oh, no, she's bounced straight off!
0:50:32 > 0:50:36We've seen that so many times before!
0:50:36 > 0:50:41She has to climb back up the ladder, which will cost her valuable time.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43SHE PANTS
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Now for another new obstacle - the Brusher.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Kelly must time her run perfectly so she's not knocked in
0:50:51 > 0:50:53by those weird spiky bits, and she's done it.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57Well done, Kelly! This is looking like a very good time.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59Only the Launch Pads to go.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Oh, no! She's fallen in!
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Disaster for Tiny Kelly!
0:51:03 > 0:51:07Her momentum just carrying her off the end of the Launch Pad.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10This is costing her valuable time.
0:51:10 > 0:51:15Here she goes again. This is punishing!
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Oh, my word!
0:51:18 > 0:51:22Spectacular! She's completely missed the second Launch Pad
0:51:22 > 0:51:24and flown off the other side!
0:51:24 > 0:51:29That's got to be hurting, and she's got to be exhausted now.
0:51:31 > 0:51:37Yes, yes, yes! She's finally done it and in some style.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40If only she could have done that the first time!
0:51:40 > 0:51:46Tiny Kelly had such a good start and was strong for someone so little.
0:51:46 > 0:51:50She was well set for a good time, but those Launch Pads
0:51:50 > 0:51:52just got the better of her in the end.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59OK, that was an unbelievable performance.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Up until the very end, you were really solid. What went wrong?
0:52:02 > 0:52:06I tried to stop and I should have just gone for it!
0:52:06 > 0:52:12- I can tell you know that your time, Kelly, was 5 minutes and 46 seconds. - Oh, no!
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Well, good luck to the guy who wins, then!
0:52:14 > 0:52:18It's not over yet, Kelly. Next up - shop supervisor Jumping Jack.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Remember he has no idea what Kelly's time is,
0:52:22 > 0:52:24so he has to focus on getting round as quickly as he can.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Let's be having ya! KLAXON
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Yah! And he's off!
0:52:41 > 0:52:43On to the Barrel Run, where Jack's jumping skills
0:52:43 > 0:52:46should come into their own, and they are!
0:52:46 > 0:52:48He's clearly those 50kg barrels
0:52:48 > 0:52:52with ease and he's made it... Ooh! ..to the top!
0:52:52 > 0:52:56The Monkey Bars. This is all about keeping your momentum going forward.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00If you stop, it is hard to get going again.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04It's hard to stay on, let alone move forwards...
0:53:04 > 0:53:06but he is!
0:53:07 > 0:53:09And he's done it.
0:53:13 > 0:53:17Jumping Jack is straight onto the Spinner. Ooh-hoo, can he hang on?
0:53:17 > 0:53:19I think he has, yes.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22Yes, he's still on. Now he's got to time his jump just right
0:53:22 > 0:53:26or he'll end up in the water, like Kelly.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30He's done it! More A-grade jumping from Jack.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Onto the Brusher now.
0:53:32 > 0:53:36That must look terrifying, but he's made it look to us very easy.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Just the Launch Pads to go.
0:53:38 > 0:53:43We've already seen how tricky they can be. Safely onto the first one.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46HE PANTS
0:53:47 > 0:53:48Oh-oh!
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Oh, no! Never seen that done before!
0:53:50 > 0:53:53He's jumped off the back of the Launch Pad.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57That's his first mistake, and it's going to cost him valuable time.
0:53:57 > 0:54:01Now he must tackle the Launch Pads again. He's safely onto the first.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04Can he get up onto the second?
0:54:04 > 0:54:07Yes! Ooh, he's hanging on for dear life,
0:54:07 > 0:54:11but, yes, just one final jump to go, and that's it!
0:54:11 > 0:54:15Jumping Jack finishes in a very quick time of 2 minutes 11 seconds,
0:54:15 > 0:54:17and I think he's pleased.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20He deserves to be.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Jack was extremely fast from the outset.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26His jumping skills were put to full use on the Barrel Run.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29That was a very impressive performance indeed.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Come on out here.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Well done!
0:54:37 > 0:54:41- Thanks.- Whoo! Need I ask how you're feeling?
0:54:41 > 0:54:46- Tired!- So, Jack, I can tell you right now...
0:54:46 > 0:54:50that you were faster. Kelly, I'm sorry, my darling...
0:54:50 > 0:54:52- Well done!- ..you're going to have to join the others.
0:54:52 > 0:54:57So Jumping Jack has flown around the course in a super-fast time.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00That's going to take some beating. It's now a two-horse race
0:55:00 > 0:55:04between Jack and Nuclear James, who is ready to go at the start.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07This is it. Here goes!
0:55:07 > 0:55:10KLAXON
0:55:11 > 0:55:13Off he goes.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19Flies off the end of the slide and gets swimming over to the barrel.
0:55:25 > 0:55:29Remember, that slope is very slippery.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Nuclear James confidently attacks the Barrel Run
0:55:32 > 0:55:35and is doing well. Ooh!
0:55:39 > 0:55:43So it's on to the Monkey Bars...
0:55:43 > 0:55:45James crossing them with ease.
0:55:45 > 0:55:49Neck and neck with Jack at this point.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52He's cleared it. Now for the Spinner.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55He's made it on the first attempt!
0:55:55 > 0:55:58He's still well within reach of Jumping Jack's time.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01Ooh, he's over-cooked it! He's in the water!
0:56:01 > 0:56:03Again, that landing...
0:56:03 > 0:56:06He needs to get back up as quickly as he can
0:56:06 > 0:56:10to be in with a chance of beating Jack's time. Onto the Brusher.
0:56:11 > 0:56:15James runs straight across with ease. This is going to be very close.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18Just the Launch Pads to go.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20Oh, James has messed it up!
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Oh!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25His knees looked to buckle on impact at the point
0:56:25 > 0:56:29when he really needed power to get up onto that next Launch Pad.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31That's why they wear helmets.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34That fall means it's all over for Nuclear James.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36He doesn't know that he's slower than Jumping Jack
0:56:36 > 0:56:40and he must now focus on finishing. For him... Oh, no!
0:56:40 > 0:56:45Bounces backwards and into the water! He's landed it this time.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Onto the second.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Still trying, still doesn't know the truth.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56One jump to go, and he's finished.
0:56:56 > 0:57:00A valiant effort from Nuclear James, but it wasn't quite enough.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02He doesn't know that yet.
0:57:02 > 0:57:06James made a fantastic start and was in with a shout at the halfway point
0:57:06 > 0:57:10but those mistakes on the Launch Pads
0:57:10 > 0:57:13are what ultimately cost him the title.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15Oh, James, my man.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18What a performance! How are you feeling after that?
0:57:18 > 0:57:21I wish I went to practise trampolining! ..Hey, mate.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24All right, well, I can tell you right now, James,
0:57:24 > 0:57:28that Jack... ..You'd a really good performance tonight.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32James...you just weren't fast enough.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35The red fox has done it! You are the Total Wipeout champion!
0:57:39 > 0:57:43So, congratulations to 21-year-old shop supervisor Jumping Jack,
0:57:43 > 0:57:47who's ten grand richer and the first champion of this series.
