0:00:02 > 0:00:06Buenos Aires, the vibrant heart of South America.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11An elite band of intrepid men and women, including a lorry driver,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14a prison officer and a professional face painter
0:00:14 > 0:00:17have been sent to Argentina. Their mission?
0:00:17 > 0:00:20To use all their reserves of courage, strength and guile
0:00:20 > 0:00:23to overcome the greatest, most terrifying
0:00:23 > 0:00:27and completely Argentinian obstacle course in the known world.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let the games begin.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Welcome to Total Wipeout.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40A brave band of Brits are here to fight tooth and nail
0:00:40 > 0:00:44for a £10,000 cash prize and the title of Total Wipeout Champion.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48But in their way are four rounds of pain and mud
0:00:48 > 0:00:52and spinning and falling off stuff.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I honestly don't know why Jeremy Paxman turned this job down.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58This is how today's contest is going to work.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The Qualifier. It takes guts.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05The Sweeper. It takes necks.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Dizzy Dummies. It takes your self respect.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And the grand final, the Wipeout Zone.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15It just takes the mickey.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20If, as a Total Wipeout contestant, you should hurt yourself,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24and they pretty much all do, the person you need on hand is a medic,
0:01:24 > 0:01:28or an ambulance driver. A plumber with a bag of plasters.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31What you get on Total Wipeout is Amanda Byram,
0:01:31 > 0:01:33with a GCSE in fun-poking.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37so let's join her at the top of the Qualifier, with the first victim.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I said "victim", that came out, didn't I? I said that then.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So Tori, our lass from Newcastle, joins us now.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You're about to take on the wrath of the Qualifier.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Has anybody given you any advice on how to tackle this course?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Yeah, my brother has gone through everything with me in depth,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58particularly the Sucker Punch wall
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and his best advice for that was just to take the punches.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02SHE LAUGHS
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So your brother doesn't really like you then, does he not?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08This is his dream come true!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12This for all the Geordies! I'm gonna make ye's proud!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16So, Tori's first obstacle is brand new on Total Wipeout.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18She'll have to cross two treacherously slippy logs
0:02:18 > 0:02:21while being hosed down by high-pressure water jets.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The Argentinians have cleverly labelled it "Log Off".
0:02:27 > 0:02:31So it's a trip down the ramp for 31-year-old Geordie lass Tori
0:02:31 > 0:02:33and she's straight into this first obstacle
0:02:33 > 0:02:35our first contestant to have a go.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42She looks a little bit wobbly.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'm not surprised, this does look...
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh! It's tricky. It is tricky.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49She looks like I look on Saturday night.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51If only I could think of some metaphor
0:02:51 > 0:02:55to describe how easy it is to fall off...these logs.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So it's a short journey to the pontoon.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Pon-toon army! You see? OK.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Remember, time is everything here
0:03:02 > 0:03:05so let's see if Tori can do this one a little bit better.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Oh. No.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08Yeah, that wasn't good.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Don't worry, Tori. Next up is the Sucker Punch. So vicious,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15it's like nailing 11 Ricky Hattons to a wall.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18This is the moment Tori's brother has waited a lifetime for,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21so let's see if she can avoid ending up in that Newcy Brown.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Oh, ho, ho!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Ho. If you missed it, Tori's brother,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33here it is once more.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35And again. And again. And again.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Yeah. Every detail.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44The clock is still ticking and the Newcastle lass needs to haul herself
0:03:44 > 0:03:47out of that mud if she wants to qualify for the next round.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Come on, Tori, you can do it!
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Yes, come on!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Don't worry, Tori, you still have time
0:03:54 > 0:03:57to make your Geordie comrades proud of you...
0:03:57 > 0:03:58on these.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's the Big Balls.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What will a Geordie do, faced with these?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11I am knacked!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Yeah!- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Right...- Calming thoughts. - ..Now then.- Yes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Preparing...
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Ooh, a run up. Good sign.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Woo!- Ooh!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I have to admit that wasn't quite what we had in mind.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28I imagine it's probably everything Tori's brother's been dreaming of.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34It is time for a Total Wipeout first.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Tori is the first competitor to attempt the Lunar Landing.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40As a tribute to early space pioneers,
0:04:40 > 0:04:45they've created something that will mimic the pin-point accuracy
0:04:45 > 0:04:47of the Apollo space missions.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Imagine firing three men in a cigar-shaped tube
0:04:49 > 0:04:52at a small rock a quarter of a million miles away.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Well this is harder.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Oh dear me.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00It's one small swing for man,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03one giant face smash for Tori!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Ow!- Wow!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Yeah, that's Geordie for "Ow".
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Tori demonstrating why the Geordie space program
0:05:11 > 0:05:12never really got going.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16So, having failed to be the first human
0:05:16 > 0:05:18to set foot on the Lunar Landing,
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Tori drags herself on to the pontoon and the clock stops, showing 4.17.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Will that be fast enough?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Next up, epic twin combinations don't come much bigger than this.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Here come Dan and James from Hull.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Sorry, no. Um, James and Dan.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Or is that Dan? Anyway, they're from Hull!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I'll take you down to Chinatown and I'll be driving the rickshaw.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Givin' it all this!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Let the course do the talking! - Oh, the course will decide.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50All I can say to you boys is may the best twin win.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52BOTH: That'll be me then!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Up first is Dan.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I think. There's massive rivalry between these two,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00but who will come out on top as they approach the Log Off?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Micro-biologist Dan is five minutes older than his twin
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Oh! Right now, 100% more underwater.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Here's James.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13And... Oh, same place! Spooky!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15That's exactly what Dan did!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Yeah. So it's neck-and-neck as we approach the Sucker Punch.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So it's neck-and-neck as we approach the Sucker Punch.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29One of them just got punched!
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- A pattern emerging here.- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- On to the Big Balls now. - Balls!- And it's Dan.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Great work!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Please, James, just do SOMETHING different.- Come on!
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Yes!
0:06:47 > 0:06:51OK, I'm beginning to see these guys really are identical twins.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Will Dan be the first human twin to set foot on the Lunar Landing?
0:07:01 > 0:07:02No. No, he won't.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08OK, I'm going to take a wild guess that James will also swing forwards,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11miss the podium then miss it again on the way back
0:07:11 > 0:07:12and fall in the water.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14See? I'm getting good at this.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Now, let's go over to Amanda and see who was quicker.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I know which one of you was faster!- Oh!- She knows!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Do you want to know? - Yeah, I wanna know.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Dan, you were faster!- Oh, yes!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Someone check the clocks
0:07:30 > 0:07:33because there's been some kind of terrible mistake.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Next up is 24-year-old Harriet from London.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Harriet's middle name is Lettice.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Out of interest, mine is Salad Nicoise.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Harriet, are your family back home all really supportive of you?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49My grandma is supportive of me. Thank you, Grandma!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Obviously your granny hasn't seen the show.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Harriet's hobbies include drawing, reading
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and explaining to people why her middle name is Lettice.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I think she needs a rinse.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Ooh!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Ooh! Oh, no, it's slidey!
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Don't worry, Harriet's grandmother, that's not facial hair,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14it's just her lucky mud beard.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And, as you can see, Harriet looks really happy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- This is what I came for! - Why she looks so happy,
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I'm not entirely sure because this next bit is incredibly dangerous.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24- Oh, my God.- Yes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Oh, my God!- Yes. Well, go on.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Yes, go!
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Yes!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Enough with the preparation already.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Yes! Ooh. Oh.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Ooh!
0:08:37 > 0:08:38SHE SQUEALS
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Oh, she's shaved the beard. More of a sort of goatie now.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51OK, up the ladder.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Come on, Harriet!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Right, the Lunar Landing.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Come on, Harriet, I want to see somebody land this thing today.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Could it be you?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Think you might need to stand up for this one, Harriet.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12OK.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Oh!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17That wasn't quite right!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19SHE LAUGHS
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Was that quite right? I'm not sure.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Anyway, little gem Harriet reaches the pontoon in 6.33.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- SHE SQUEALS - Yes!
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Finally!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Maybe Harriet should have entered her gran instead.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38But, to put it scientifically, the Qualifier is chuffing hard.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40In his book, The Origin Of Species,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Charles Darwin ascertained that through natural selection,
0:09:43 > 0:09:47only the 12 fastest competitors will make it through to the next round
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Well, it's not exactly what he ascertained
0:09:49 > 0:09:52but it's what he was getting at. Anyway, let's crack on!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Meet Carol, she's an assistant martial arts coach.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Meet Paul, he's a lorry driver.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03And Fiona, she's a prison officer.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06What do all these three have in common?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12They seem to think that Total Wipeout is some kind of jolly.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Well, Carol, Fiona and Paul,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20I don't think the Argentinians are going to like that.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Here I come! Dig deep! Come on, you can do it!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45OK, balls. I'm here, let's go.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16THEY GASP
0:11:20 > 0:11:21What a killer!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Oh, my God.- I'm done.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Um, it's just a guess, but I think she's knackered.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Meet Cris, originally from the Philippinesand Steve from London.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54They're both really hard.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Ooh. My money's on Cris.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Get ready for thriller from Manila!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- What?- I think he said he's the thriller from Manila.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06So, prepare to be thrilled.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Cris now lives in Northumberland
0:12:08 > 0:12:11He's a lifeguard, a gym instructor and has a black belt in karate.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16All of which make Cris really hard.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I'm 45 years old, right?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Never too old, never too old. Just keep going, man!
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Yeah, keep going, Cris.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Well, go on then, go.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Oh, dear.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Never mind, we still have Steve,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36who's being bothered by an Argentinian wasp.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Now, Steve's a stage combat tutor,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43so let's see how he fares against Amanda.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Let's see what you're made of.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Oh, you're too good!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Yeah, never drop your guard when Byram's about.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Lesson learned. And Steve's off!
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Wow!
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Steve has said if he wins Total Wipeout he'll buy a new car.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04If he carries on like this he's gonna get one. Great balance.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Oh, and he's the first over the Log Off today
0:13:08 > 0:13:10That is amazing stuff
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Oh! Surely he should've blocked that.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Come on, Stevie!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20On to the balls. Come on, Steve.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Oh. This is looking good.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh! As well as being a combat tutor, Steve is a Thai boxer
0:13:29 > 0:13:34and using some of that finely-tuned balance, he's on to the third ball.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Come on, Steve! Grip!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Oh, no! I thought he had it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Despite nearly being the first person this series
0:13:42 > 0:13:43to cross the balls,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Nearly Steve storms through the Qualifier
0:13:46 > 0:13:48with an amazing time of 1.36.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Let's take a first look at the leaderboard.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55So, Nearly Steve is in first place,
0:13:55 > 0:14:00Karate Cris and Paul are in second and third on 2.35 and 3.13
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Tyneside Tori is in fifth.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09And Harriet Lettice is just hanging in there in ninth out of nine.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Only the fastest 12 will qualify.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Will this next contestant be one of them?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I'm joined now by the lovely Tom from Gloucestershire.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Tom, how are you?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm really excited.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24How excited are you?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Um, mega excited. I'm ready to go.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Tom is excited.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Do you think you have what it takes to get through the Qualifier, Tom?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Yes. I think I have no fear of this at all. No fear.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Tom has no fear.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44His surname is Ireland, his middle name is Danger.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I'll call him Tom Danger Ireland.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51So, straight on to the Log Off.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55And... Well, he barely logged on.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Brilliant mid-air run, though. If you were wondering
0:14:59 > 0:15:01about the goggles, so am I.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Maybe it's some kind of danger thing.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Come on, Tom. Oh, come on. Oh, yes!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Well, he's made it across.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08On to the Sucker Punch now.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Please, Sucker Punch, don't get my little Tom.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Oh! So nearly! That's the best we've seen today.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21But will he be afraid of the Big Balls?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Tom is a rock climber. He can speak Mandarin.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30But can he see through those goggles?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Might help!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Will he be afraid of the Big Balls?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37Will he see them?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38TOM YELPS
0:15:38 > 0:15:39No!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Only Tom Ireland could take the Big Red Balls just like that.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48That's Danger Ireland to you, Amanda.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Remember, this man has no fear.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Much like those early pioneers who conquered the vastness of space.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Can he swing on a rope and land on a pillar? No.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09No, no, no. Ah! Ee!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11HE WAILS
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Argh!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Oh! Well, that wasn't quite the ending
0:16:15 > 0:16:19we were looking for. Still no sign of any fear from Danger Ireland.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20And a fabulous time
0:16:20 > 0:16:22of 2.25.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I think we'll be seeing more of him.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Woo!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Done it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32So far on the Qualifier, not a single competitor
0:16:32 > 0:16:34has made it over the Sucker Punch.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36But things could be about to change.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38SHE ROARS
0:16:38 > 0:16:39See what I mean?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Tough girl Lisa hails from Wales
0:16:42 > 0:16:44and plays rugby. She's a hooker.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47She could be just the person to defeat the Sucker Punch.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Come on Lisa, for every last Welsh man, woman and child.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54For the land of our fathers. Scrum down, Lisa.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Touch, pause, engage.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Oh, dear.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Ouch!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Never mind, we've got another sporty girl.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Rachel is a 22-year-old gymnastic coach from Sussex.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Surely, she's nimble enough to get past the wall.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Oh. No.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Maybe her balance and agility
0:17:15 > 0:17:18will help her be the first person this series
0:17:18 > 0:17:20to make it across the Big Red Balls.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Oh.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Gymnast Rachel perfectly illustrating
0:17:27 > 0:17:29that even the most finely tuned of athletes
0:17:29 > 0:17:31can fall foul of the Big Balls.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Let's try another.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Meet sporty girl number three. Alice.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38She may be small but she does have one big advantage
0:17:38 > 0:17:41over her fellow competitors.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I'm a rock climber, we're tough.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46You're a rock climber.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Well the key will be for you not to PEAK too soon!
0:17:54 > 0:17:55And we're off!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59We're still waiting for a plumber to fix that pipe there.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Good girl!
0:18:00 > 0:18:04And demonstrating that climber's balance perfectly on the Log Off.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07And she's made it.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09On to the Sucker Punch now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Here she goes. Rock climber,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Sucker Punch wall... Fingers crossed.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I know mountains tend not to punch back
0:18:16 > 0:18:20but surely Everest Alice has the credentials to get past the wall.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21She has!
0:18:21 > 0:18:25But can she make it over these?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Onto the first. Good start.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Ooh! And the second.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41And the third. Got a live one here.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44She is on the fourth.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Can Alice be the first person this series to make it across the Balls?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52This is incredible. She's made it!
0:18:52 > 0:18:53She has made it.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Can she now complete the set by making it on to the Lunar Landing?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01No.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Oh well. So close, though.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06SHE LAUGHS
0:19:06 > 0:19:11That was an incredible run. Everest Alice - what a heroine.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15At 1.35, the fastest time so far.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Let's take a second look at the leaderboard.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19And what a day for the girls.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Everest Alice is at the summit and gymnast Rachel in third.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Danger Ireland in fourth.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34Top Twin Dan in 8th and Fiona is just hanging in there in 12th place.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Meet the oldest female competitor of the day, 54-year-old Sarah.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45She's a personal fitness trainer and also practises white magic.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm not sure... Did she mean to do that?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52We catch up with Sarah on Big Balls.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55If you were about to pop out of the room, stick around
0:19:55 > 0:19:58as Magic Sarah might just do something magical.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Oh, balls, here you are.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Yep, that could be a spell.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Is that a cat behind you? - Come on, Sarah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Ahh!
0:20:13 > 0:20:19Yup, that's a no-show for the magic but there's still the Lunar Landing.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Come on, Sarah. Ooh...
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Saw a bit too much there.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Let's move on.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Come on, Sarah. Eye of newt, wing of bat.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Legs of jelly.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34With her white magic powers,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36it's possible Sarah makes regular trips to the moon,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I'm sure she'll be flying onto the Lunar Landing...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Ohh... At least we know she floats.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46There have been times that would have been useful.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Not really magic.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Here with me now, at the top of the course, is Alistair.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Alistair, what is your motivation for being here today?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57My motivation is to prove something for all the fat lads in the world.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02All those boys who like a bit of pie and chips, gravy, Christmas dinner.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm doing it for us. Fat people can do stuff.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Yeah. Here's one that probably shouldn't dance.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20OK, Alistair. Come on, the clock's started!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Alistair! Enough dancing, let's go!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Come on, Alistair! GO!
0:21:27 > 0:21:33You're gonna regret all of these things! All that! Go!
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Yeah, you can just about swing it if you go now.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Yeah, he's in the groove.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Could just be indigestion. OK.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I think we'll come back to Disco Al a bit later.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Whereas most Total Wipeout winners like to spend their £10,000
0:21:56 > 0:22:00on bandages, chafe cream and retrospective holiday insurance,
0:22:00 > 0:22:04the next two competitors have far grander aspirations.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Meet Katie. She's a professional face painter
0:22:07 > 0:22:12and wants to take her children on a dream holiday to America.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'm loud, I'm great, I'm Combat Kate from Yate!
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Meet Gary. He wants to take his children on a dream holiday to Europe.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Camping. In a camper van.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
0:22:29 > 0:22:32And I'm a man so I'm gonna do it! Now!
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Yes.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34That's it, Gary.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36You go for it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39So representing American vacations is Painty Katie,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41off to a steady start on the Log Off.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45And now, doing it for Europe, here comes Camp Gary.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Ooh, there's nothing in it as we approach the Sucker Punch.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Oh! Gary will have to get used to lying in mud if he's going camping.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Meanwhile, Painty Katie is steaming ahead to the Big Balls.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Go for it! Ready, steady, go!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I don't know what she said there.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Ohh! Come on, Katie!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Looking good!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Oh! - AMANDA LAUGHS
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Come on, Camp Gary, it's time to prove yourself.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26No. Not like that, though.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31At this rate, the American dream could be the winner.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Katie's storming the course. All she has to do is land on the cross
0:23:35 > 0:23:38to get the fastest time of the day.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Here we go. Yes.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Ooh! Ooh! Yes! No.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Oh!- Oh! I don't believe it!
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Nevertheless, Katie romps home with a stunning 1.48.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Followed, at a reasonable distance, by Camp Gary,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00in 2.13.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02So, after that titanic battle,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03what have we learned?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Katie will need some ointment for nasty rope burn
0:24:07 > 0:24:11and Gary's kids will be spending summer holidays in the back garden.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Again.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Sorry, Gary's kids.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15So, just three more to go.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Meet Matt.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19He's a communications supervisor from Romford
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- and leads an exciting double life. - Hi, boys!
0:24:22 > 0:24:26People say I look like the liquid man out of Terminator, the policeman?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27You so do!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I am the machine.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32- Hasta la vista, baby. Good luck. - Terminated.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35So, Matt thinks he's robot from the future.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I think we can safely say Matt is not a robot.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50He can, however, do this.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51HE IMITATES RACE CAR ENGINE
0:24:51 > 0:24:53And this.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57HE IMITATES AIR RAID SIREN
0:24:57 > 0:24:58And this.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00HE IMITATES NOVELTY CAR HORN
0:25:00 > 0:25:01None of which will help him here.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Or can Matt prove us wrong and show us he is, in fact,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08a state of the art, futuristic cyborg?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Come on, the Mattinator.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Aghh!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Never mind. Let's see how Disco Al's doing.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Yeah!
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Showing Matt how to do a world-class robot move there.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34He's bringing out the big guns! That's the rope!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Not sure I'm comfortable with this one.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Clock is still running.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44We'll come back after today's oldest and penultimate contestant.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I'm Super Jeff!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I'm here today...
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Let's give Jeff another shot at that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I'm Super Jeff!
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I'm 59¾ and I'm here to prove
0:26:00 > 0:26:03that 60 is the new 40!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Yeah!- Yes, that went better.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06KLAXON
0:26:06 > 0:26:07He's off!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Ooh, that wasn't so super, Jeff.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Where is he?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Where's he gone?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Oh, there he is!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Jeff is an ex-prison governor who now makes doll houses
0:26:25 > 0:26:26and can do three chin-ups.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31He's upside down. He's back again!
0:26:31 > 0:26:33The Sucker Punch now.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- Oh!- Ooh!
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Come on, Jeff! You can do it, you're nearly there.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Come on, Jeff, you can do this.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54For everyone out there who's ever struggled.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56For all of us.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00For queen, for country, for you...
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I can't think of anyone else.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Nelson Mandela?
0:27:05 > 0:27:06For him.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Just the Lunar Landing to go.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Yeah! Making it look easy for all of us.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Jeff now mounting the platform, grasping the rope.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And soaring away. Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30No, it's an old man clinging onto a rope.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Jeff may not have landed on the Moon,
0:27:34 > 0:27:39but he has landed in the hearts and minds of British people everywhere.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Because, remember, on every street,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44in every village, in every town,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46there is a Super Jeff.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Just don't surprise them, the shock can...
0:27:55 > 0:27:59So, Super Jeff has annihilated the course with a spectacular time
0:27:59 > 0:28:03of 4.58. Let's see where that puts him on the leaderboard.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10He's just been pipped by Alice, Steve and Rachel...
0:28:11 > 0:28:14..Katie, Gary, Tom...
0:28:16 > 0:28:19..Cris, Matt, Lisa...
0:28:19 > 0:28:22..and Paul, Dan and Tori.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24In fact, he's not on the leader board.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Poor Jeff. There's one person left to run the Qualifier
0:28:28 > 0:28:31and he finds himself in a slightly odd situation.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Disco Al has been dancing for 4 minutes and 33 seconds,
0:28:36 > 0:28:38which puts him outside the top 12.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41However, the Argentinian adjudicator loved his moves so much
0:28:41 > 0:28:44he's agreed to restart the clock.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Let's hope he doesn't do any more silly disco stuff.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I'm Alistair! I am the Flabiator.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I'm gonna eat this course!
0:28:51 > 0:28:52KLAXON
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Oh, come on!
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- He is my hero!- No, he's not, Amanda, he's a very silly boy!
0:29:00 > 0:29:01I love you, Alistair!
0:29:03 > 0:29:07Hope he didn't peak too soon. Come on, Alistair!
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Well, he's out of the water, he's up and he's away.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Remember, Tori's currently in 12th place with a time of 4.17,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21So he'll have to do this in less time.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Ah!
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Big man meets Sucker Punch meets large mud...
0:29:29 > 0:29:31What you're about to see could be nasty.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34If he fights back, we're in a lot of trouble. Go on big fella!
0:29:34 > 0:29:39Yes! He'll take more knocking off his feet, that's in his favour.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Oh! Yeah, definitely landed there.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49Could just be me, but I think the cracks are starting to show now.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Come on! Come on, big man!
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Come on, big lad!
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Aghh!
0:29:57 > 0:30:01It's not an elegant sight but it is strangely moving.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Go on, Alistair!
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Come on, Alistair! 4.17 is the time to beat.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Don't let us down now.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Well, it's more yourself you'd let down. Don't let you down.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Woo!- Yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17He's doing it!
0:30:19 > 0:30:22He's completely missed them.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Agh!
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Yeah. Just a smear down the second one.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28He'd only missed the ball!
0:30:28 > 0:30:31He did, didn't he?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- Oh!- Oh!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Ooh! I can see his...
0:30:39 > 0:30:41bottom.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Yeah, Amanda...that's a theme for her this week.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Looking for somewhere to park her bike.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Just the Lunar Landing now. Come on, Alistair.
0:30:50 > 0:30:524.17 to beat. Come on, you could just do this.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54This way!
0:30:54 > 0:30:55You could do this.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Aghhh!
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Good grief! Has he left his hands on the rope? No, they went with him.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Nearly there.- So it's a swim now to the podium.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17This is SO close. Come on! Yes!
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Haul yourself up, man!
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Yes!
0:31:22 > 0:31:25He's done it. In the time it takes to eat his Christmas dinner.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28By four seconds, it is incredible.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Yeah!- Yeah! That means Disco Alistair has made it into the next round
0:31:31 > 0:31:36and deservedly so. I bet his victory dance is really something.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41So, Disco Al has edged out Tori and made it into the next round.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44That, ladies and gentlemen, was the stuff of legend.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49Tapestries will be woven about it and songs composed round campfires.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Alistair must be delighted that he gets to do more exercise now
0:31:52 > 0:31:57but before we move on to the next round, let's spare a thought for the fallen.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59This is for all the Geordies!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01So, it's goodbye to Tyneside Tori.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I can't believe this!
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Ciao to Harriet Lettice.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Come on!- Au revoir to James, the other twin.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Auf wiedersehen to Fiona.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Adios to Carol.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Arrivederci to Super Jeff.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22And sayonara to Sarah.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33It's always a sad moment when we say goodbye to the Qualifier Heroes.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38Oh, well. Since this show started, the BBC have nagged me
0:32:38 > 0:32:39to go to Argentina.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42At first it was Argentina, then they said I could go anywhere.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45It was just the going bit that really mattered.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48So, I went. And I made this report from Buenos Aires
0:32:48 > 0:32:50on the do's and don'ts of Total Wipeout.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01I'm standing here where so many brave Brits have stood before,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03on top of a sweeper podium.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06The difference is, they were then smashed off it by Old Faithful here.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Whereas I'm going to be safely lowered off it by ladder.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12That's moving. It's not supposed to be.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17OK. Fairly quickly then, these are my do's and don'ts for success on the sweeper.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Don't be cocky or sexist.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Or cocky AND sexist.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24No bird's gonna beat me! Come on!
0:33:26 > 0:33:30That's...still moving. Is that OK?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33If you're going to wipeout, do wipeout properly.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39That's getting nearer now.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Don't get transfixed by somebody falling off in front of you.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Honestly, can we turn that off now?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Is that gonna stop?
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Do jump higher than it's physically possible to jump.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03You know what? Don't worry, I can do this.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Yep, cleared it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Jumped, landed safely. Job done.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18So, finally, don't do this.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Let's see if the 12 remaining contestants have heeded any of that advice.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33It's time for the Sweeper.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4312 start, only 5 will make it through to the next round.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49In their way is the relentless Sweeper arm which gets faster and higher with every revolution.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Even after the unlucky seven are eliminated,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55the game does not stop until we are left with the last man standing.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03Standing tall on podiums 1 and 2 are Nearly Steve and the Mattinator.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06You're all Humpty Dumptys and you're all gonna fall.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09On 3 and 4, we have Everest Alice...
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Tom, you're gonna need those goggles, you'll be in the water first.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15..and Karate Cris.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18On podium 5, we have Gymnast Rachel.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Hope you don't mind being beaten by a girl, you'll be beaten by another one!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25On 6 and 7, we have lorry driver Paul...
0:35:26 > 0:35:28..and Rugby Lisa.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Alistair! The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- You're going down, big boy!- OK.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36On 8 and 9, Danger Ireland.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Is he facing the wrong way?
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Here come the girls! - And Painty Katie.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47On 10 and 11, we have Camp Gary.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Paul, you're going down, ya Southern softie!
0:35:50 > 0:35:52And Disco Al.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Lisa, you're going down, short round.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59On podium 12, last twin standing, Dan.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04It's hard, it's fast and it's really, really sweepy.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07It's the Sweeper.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Are you all ready?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12I think they're just very scared.
0:36:12 > 0:36:153, 2, 1!
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Tom is still laughing in the face of fear.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20And we're off.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25Slow pace for now. Remember, 12 start, only 5 go through.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Ooh, Gymnast Rachel nearly copping it early.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Oh, Disco Al is the first to fall and who's that?!
0:36:33 > 0:36:35It's last twin standing, Dan.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39And another one.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40They're dropping like flies.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Let's see that debacle again.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47First, Disco Al goes down quicker than an all-you-can-eat buffet with a classic divebomb.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49The Sweeper's not best for people my size.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52It's very unnerving, footing's very dodgy.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56It's just SO fast. It's nerve-wracking!
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Not for people of any size. Then twin Dan seems to walk off the podium.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Jumped the bar, came down, slipped, fell off.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Lost a shoe!
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Still beat my brother, still twin number one!
0:37:07 > 0:37:09I'm happy.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14Paul looks a bit lonely and tries to join Rugby Lisa on her podium.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20So scary! It's unbelievable! I just went back like that and it was all over! In the drink!
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Three down, the next four to fall will be eliminated.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30The Sweeper arm getting faster now. Who's that?!
0:37:30 > 0:37:32It's Everest Alice!
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I didn't see that one coming and neither did she, I suspect.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39She may have conquered the Big Balls and been fastest in the Qualifier,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- but Alice is out.- It's so scary. I can't even describe it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46It comes towards you and you don't know what to do.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I don't really do much jumping and climbing.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52The next three to fall will be out.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56After front-runner Alice's exit, the field is now wide open.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00So, the remaining eight are Steve, Matt, Cris, Rachel,
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Lisa, Tom, Katie and Gary.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Go, Gary!
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Ooh, that's Rachel in trouble again.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Camp Gary nearly off too.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13It's getting serious now. Just three more.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Come on, Tom, you can do it for me.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Of course, Amanda totally impartial here.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Ooh, Rachel again! I think her days are numbered.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Ooh, it's Nearly Steve!
0:38:38 > 0:38:42So nearly, Steve. Oh and Danger Tom! And Camp Gary!
0:38:42 > 0:38:46We have the five qualifiers. Nearly Steve gracefully bombs out of the competition,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49narrowly avoiding the classic face-plant.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53It's scary. Scary. That pad ain't big, it wobbles a lot.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Absolutely gutted, really.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- No new car.- Next to fall, he showed no fear.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Battled through adversity, he fell in the water.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Danger Ireland is out.
0:39:04 > 0:39:10It hits you, you fly down... It was pretty neat, I'm just gutted I didn't jump higher.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15I think those goggles are hammered in. Camp Gary narrowly avoids a place in the next round
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- by stepping off the podium. - I just clipped me foot as I jumped like a girl.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21There you go, splash down.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23So we have the last five.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27They are Matt, Cris, Rachel, Lisa... Oh, Lisa's off!
0:39:27 > 0:39:29And Katie falls.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Oh and that's Matt!
0:39:31 > 0:39:34What a wipeout! It's carnage!
0:39:36 > 0:39:41It really is! Rachel swaps podiums to become last woman standing.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Nice one, Rachel!
0:39:47 > 0:39:50So the last five to fall started with Rugby Lisa losing her balance.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Painty Katie being weighed down by her fluorescent legwarmers.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58And then, well, just utter carnage
0:39:58 > 0:40:00as Matt gets completely taken out.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05That's gotta be one of the finest wipeouts of the series so far.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10Which then leads to one of the most extraordinary endings of any Sweeper.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Cris and Rachel hang out together but Rachel hangs for longer
0:40:15 > 0:40:18and swaps podiums to become last woman standing.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Or hanging. Anyway, she won.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I reckon she meant to do that.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Anyway, five contestants remain but we need to lose two more.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34It's time for Dizzy Dummies.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Here's how it's going to go.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45The remaining contestants will be strapped into that souped-up kiddies' roundabout
0:40:45 > 0:40:46and spun for 40 seconds.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50They must then attempt to stagger through the stumbling saloon doors
0:40:50 > 0:40:54before trying to cross the cylinder run without falling in the water.
0:40:54 > 0:41:00If they do, it's a swim back to the start. The last to make it to the other side will be eliminated.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05We then do it again but the four remaining competitors face the Crazy Cut Outs and the Crazy Beams.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10They must avoid falling in the crazy water or they might not make the crazy final.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Crazy. Then we'll have our three finalists. Got all that?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Sure?
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Good.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Let's go down to the course where Amanda is waiting to greet the lucky five.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Here's a recipe for you. Mix five contestants, a super spinny thingy
0:41:25 > 0:41:29and some serious obstacles and you've got yourself Dizzy Dummies.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32Are you all ready?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Oh, I feel their pain.
0:41:35 > 0:41:383, 2, 1.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42So, 40 seconds of hell begins.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Let's remind ourselves of who these lucky, lucky people are.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48She plays rugby and she's called Lisa.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51It's Rugby Lisa.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54She's a face painter and she's called Katie.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57I'm loud, I'm great, I'm Kate from Yate!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00It's Painty Katie, rope rash balm at the ready.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05He thinks he's a robot from the future. It's the Mattinator.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07HE IMITATES NOVELTY CAR HORN
0:42:07 > 0:42:11But after the Sweeper, he might need a few more metal implants.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16The fourth Dizzy Dummy is the thriller from Manila.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18It's the thriller from Manila!
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Really? It's Karate Cris.
0:42:22 > 0:42:28And finally, she does gymnastics and the last woman standing on the Sweeper,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30it's Gymnast Rachel.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35As the spinner comes to a stop, I bet they wish their stomachs had too.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And they're off. A trip through the stumbling saloon doors
0:42:39 > 0:42:42for starters. First, find them.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Gymnast Rachel through first and onto the Cylinder Run.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Looking good. Oh, yes, that's how it's done.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Gymnast Rachel hurtles into the next round.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Matt hurtles into the water.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58So it's back to the start for him.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Karate Cris now. Looking good.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Oh, come on, Cris! Oh!
0:43:06 > 0:43:10The thriller from Manila joins Gymnast Rachel in the next round.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Brilliant scenes here at Total Wipeout.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19Rugby Lisa making a dash for freedom.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Oh, a great scrum down on the cylinder.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26The Mattinator skips over Lisa, he looks unstoppable...
0:43:26 > 0:43:29but he is, in fact, stoppable. Yeah.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Stopped. That was outstanding.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Right, three left. The next two over will go into the next round
0:43:37 > 0:43:40and that's Painty Katie just gone.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Rugby Lisa flying through the saloon doors.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Oh, Lisa! Matt now.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Come on, Matt!
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Ooh! Ooh!
0:43:53 > 0:43:57And he's through! Just Katie and Lisa remain.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Katie making a dash for it. Come on, Katie!
0:44:01 > 0:44:02Oh, she's done it!
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Katie is through.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07Yeah, baby!
0:44:08 > 0:44:12Awww, poor Lisa-a-a.
0:44:12 > 0:44:17- Are you really disappointed? - No. I didn't think I would get this far, it's all right.
0:44:17 > 0:44:23- You did well to get this far, Lisa. Well done. Join the others.- Cheers, thanks.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Right, that was fun. So, let's do it again.
0:44:25 > 0:44:3040 more seconds of lovely spinning for Matt, Rachel, Cris and Katie.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35One of these four will be eliminated and three will go through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36Here we go.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39They're off towards the Crazy Cutouts.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42I feel a bit sick watching them.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46Gymnast Rachel first through again.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49On to the Crazy Beams.
0:44:49 > 0:44:52Is there any stopping this girl?
0:44:55 > 0:44:56Ooh! Maybe there is.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02What a dive from the Mattinator!
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Oh! That's Rachel off!
0:45:12 > 0:45:15She'll have to go back to the start.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Karate Cris now going for it.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21Ouch!
0:45:21 > 0:45:22Oh!
0:45:29 > 0:45:30Poor Matt!
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Cris hanging in there.
0:45:37 > 0:45:38HE SCREAMS
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Nice scream. Probably didn't help.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43No, he's off.
0:45:46 > 0:45:47Gymnast Rachel.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49Come on, Rachel.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55I think she's getting a technique worked out for these beams now.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Slowly and surely could be paying dividends.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09And Rachel's through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12I wonder who our front runner is today then, eh?
0:46:12 > 0:46:13Oh!
0:46:13 > 0:46:16Ooh! Karate Cris just clinging on there.
0:46:19 > 0:46:20Really hanging on tight.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Oh, and Matt's just terminated a beam!
0:46:23 > 0:46:26He actually broke the course.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- Karate Cris is through to the final. - Thriller in Manila!
0:46:32 > 0:46:36So it's between Katie and Matt and Katie is out in front.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39Last ditch attempt from Matt!
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Has that tumble put him out of the competition?
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Yep, it has. Katie's across, Matt is out.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Woo! Woo!
0:46:56 > 0:46:59You did a great job. Do you have anything to say to me before you go?
0:46:59 > 0:47:01HE IMITATES NOVELTY CAR HORN
0:47:01 > 0:47:03SHE LAUGHS
0:47:03 > 0:47:08So, we have three finalists for today. For the eventual victor,
0:47:08 > 0:47:11£10,000 and the title of Total Wipeout Champion.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14For the losers...nothing.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Let's remind ourselves how all three got there.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23I did not ever for one moment think
0:47:23 > 0:47:27that this would be nearly as hard as it has been.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29I've surprised myself so much.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33To be in the final feels like complete and utter joy.
0:47:33 > 0:47:3845 years old. I never ever dreamed that I can do this.
0:47:40 > 0:47:44It would mean so much for me to be the first girl to win Total Wipeout.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47It honestly would. I would just be ecstatic.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48and it would just make my life.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52I would take my two lovely girls to Florida to go to Sea World
0:47:52 > 0:47:55and to swim with the dolphins cos they would just love it.
0:47:56 > 0:47:57If I win the prize,
0:47:57 > 0:48:00because my parents haven't seen my home in England
0:48:00 > 0:48:03we can have a reunion, they can have a chance to see my family.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- VOICE CRACKING: - They can hold the children.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Tonight I'm gonna give it everything I've got
0:48:10 > 0:48:13and I'm just gonna go for it as much as I can.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16I'm quite quick but I'm very susceptible to making mistakes.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19If you make one little mistake, then that's it
0:48:19 > 0:48:20and the whole thing's over.
0:48:20 > 0:48:24In my head, all the time it's just, "I've gotta do it for my girls."
0:48:24 > 0:48:29I'm gonna give my full strength to win this race.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32They're gonna be really, really proud of me.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36That just goes to show how much victory means to the finalists.
0:48:37 > 0:48:38Bit too much?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40These three are about to tackle
0:48:40 > 0:48:43the toughest most unforgiving obstacle course on the planet...
0:48:43 > 0:48:45The Wipeout Zone.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55They'll start with a hasty trip down the Killer Surf.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58And a short swim to the Barrel Run.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02They'll need some serious upper body strength on the monkey bars.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Then it's on to the fast-moving Spinner.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Then it's the vicious Brusher
0:49:06 > 0:49:09and the launchpads to the finish podium where the clock stops.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Time now for the biggest Wipeout of them all...
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Oh, yeah - it's the Wipeout Zone.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17And the first out of the gate tonight is Katie.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Is that fear or concentration? Could be indigestion.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28And she's off down the Killer Surf.
0:49:28 > 0:49:30Remember, the fastest to cross the Wipeout Zone
0:49:30 > 0:49:34will be crowned Champion so the pressure is on from the word go.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Strong swim there to the Barrel Run.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Don't forget, that beam - greased to make it even more slippery.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Oh! She's been taken out!
0:49:50 > 0:49:54Oh, no! Oh! Back to the start of the ramp, that's cost her time.
0:49:57 > 0:49:58She's a fighter.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01Well, let's see her fight her way up that ramp.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05Oh, no. Having difficulties again.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09But fighting on.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11She's at the top. On to the Monkey Bars now.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14This is a real strength test, will she pass it?
0:50:14 > 0:50:18She's got good upper strength, this one.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Yes! Woo!
0:50:20 > 0:50:23Making that look easy and, believe me, it's not.
0:50:31 > 0:50:32Nice one, Katie.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36On to the Spinner now, she's got to time this to perfection.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39Gathering her concentration.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43She has to time her leap and land on the platform.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46Oh, she's off!
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Just jumped too late.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52That's cost Katie more time. She was looking so strong up there
0:50:52 > 0:50:54but just missed the landing platform.
0:50:54 > 0:51:00Now a test of balance and speed on the Brusher.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Oh, brilliantly executed.
0:51:03 > 0:51:04Now the Launch Pads.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Onto the first.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12She's jumping very high.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14And the second. Hang on, Katie.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17Dragging herself up.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20One more leap and she has it.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23Oh, a final stumble.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25And she's done it.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26In a really fast time.
0:51:26 > 0:51:282.17 is the time to beat.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32So after nearly coming a cropper on the Barrel Run,
0:51:32 > 0:51:35Katie regained her composure to storm the Wipeout Zone
0:51:35 > 0:51:37in 2.17.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41Will that be enough to get her and her two daughters to Florida?
0:51:42 > 0:51:45That was incredible. You had a problem on the barrels.
0:51:45 > 0:51:47I did. They were heavy and I'm only little.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50And I'm a bit gutted I fell off the Spinner.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51Apart from that, I'm really pleased.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53I can tell you, Katie,
0:51:53 > 0:51:58you did that in a fantastic time of 2 minutes and 17 seconds.
0:51:58 > 0:51:59But Cris is up next.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Come on, get ready for the Thriller from Manila-a-a!
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Just look at how much this means to him.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Or is it fright?
0:52:13 > 0:52:14It's fright.
0:52:15 > 0:52:182.17 is the time to beat.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22He's in the water. It's a strong start.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Onto the Barrel Run now.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Oh, he's struggling already.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Ooh, he's been taken out by that one.
0:52:50 > 0:52:51Ouch!
0:52:51 > 0:52:52Cris, come on.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Finally, past the barrels.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Chance now to claw some time back on the Monkey Bars.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Ooh, that's a swing and a half.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10That swing action!
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Cris has his own weight to bear but also the water on top...
0:53:13 > 0:53:14That's a setback.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19Cris may have overstretched himself and it's cost him dear.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Back up the ladder now towards the Spinner.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28Chris is going to have to pull some time back now.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Tired.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34He's got no time to be tired though.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37On the Spinner, he's now got to time getting off
0:53:37 > 0:53:39onto that platform.
0:53:39 > 0:53:40This... Oh, no!
0:53:40 > 0:53:42He's in trouble now.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Time and time again we see it here.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46It should be such a simple move.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48But just when you don't want it to happen.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51So it's onto the Brusher.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55Cris looks exhausted. Has he got anything left to give?
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Oh! This is cruel!
0:54:01 > 0:54:02You've got to hand it to Cris,
0:54:02 > 0:54:06there's no way he's giving up, he keeps going.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11We're all feeling for Cris right now.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Just the Launch Pads.
0:54:13 > 0:54:14Come on, Cris.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Cris, Cris, Cris, Cris, Cris!
0:54:23 > 0:54:26I'm tired for him.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Successfully onto the first Launch Pad.
0:54:35 > 0:54:36He's got jelly legs.
0:54:39 > 0:54:40Oh!
0:54:40 > 0:54:41Come on, Cris!
0:54:41 > 0:54:43Yes!
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Every last ounce of strength used there.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47Just one more leap.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53And he's done it!
0:54:53 > 0:54:54A valiant, brave effort,
0:54:54 > 0:54:56but 4.43 means Cris is out.
0:54:56 > 0:55:01Cris discovered to his cost how difficult the Wipeout Zone is.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04But despite taking a tumble on every obstacle,
0:55:04 > 0:55:08an exhausted Karate Cris just kept going.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12You look absolutely exhausted.
0:55:12 > 0:55:13Everything's over.
0:55:13 > 0:55:18I have to tell you, you've been such a strong contender all day.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20But not strong enough.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Because, Katie, was faster than you.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25So I'm afraid you'll have to go and join the other guys.
0:55:25 > 0:55:29You know what this means, you're still the time to beat.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33- But there's another strong woman coming up, it's Rachel.- Battle of the chicks.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37So we already have a record. Total Wipeout's first female champion.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39Will it be Rachel or Katie?
0:55:45 > 0:55:47Rachel has 2.17 to beat
0:55:47 > 0:55:49and that is no mean feat.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55A strong swim and then it's onto the greased beam.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58And now the Barrel Run itself.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02Oh, no. Stopped in her tracks.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04Looking really fast though.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Battling on.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11Twenty-two seconds quicker than Katie at this point.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14Can she keep it up on the Monkey Bars there?
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Yes, she can.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19This is good.
0:56:19 > 0:56:20Oh, no!
0:56:20 > 0:56:22This is a nightmare.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26She could have just handed the title to Katie with that fall.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28She's got a real mountain to climb now.
0:56:33 > 0:56:37Dragged herself back up the ladder, finishing off the Monkey Bars.
0:56:37 > 0:56:38Onto the Spinner.
0:56:38 > 0:56:40Maybe she can claw the time back.
0:56:42 > 0:56:43She's on.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Now she has to time her exit.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55And Rachel has succeeded where Katie and Cris didn't.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57That bought her some valuable seconds back.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00Onto the Brusher. Oh, no! It's gone the other way again.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02Katie could be heading for victory.
0:57:02 > 0:57:07That really was the wrong time to lose her footing...
0:57:07 > 0:57:09as I'm sure she knows.
0:57:10 > 0:57:11Up onto the Launch Pads now.
0:57:13 > 0:57:17And the first one, this is so close, I don't know if I can watch.
0:57:17 > 0:57:18I'm going to!
0:57:20 > 0:57:22Oh, no!
0:57:22 > 0:57:23This could be all over.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25No, she's recovering.
0:57:28 > 0:57:29One last jump to make now.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33This is so...
0:57:34 > 0:57:36unbelievable! Nine seconds in it
0:57:36 > 0:57:38and Rachel is the champion!
0:57:38 > 0:57:41They don't know that yet so over to Amanda to break the news.
0:57:41 > 0:57:45You've both been fantastic contestants.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47You were the front runner all day, Rachel,
0:57:47 > 0:57:50but I can tell you right now,
0:57:50 > 0:57:54that you're still the front runner. You are the Total Wipeout champion!
0:58:01 > 0:58:02So there you have it.
0:58:02 > 0:58:0423-year-old Rachel Basford becomes
0:58:04 > 0:58:06the first ever female champion.
0:58:06 > 0:58:11She'll be joined by Katie and Cris in seven weeks' time for Champion Of Champions show.

0:58:14 > 0:58:16and in its place, this...
0:58:19 > 0:58:21It's big, it's brash.
