0:00:02 > 0:00:03Buenos Aires, Argentina.
0:00:03 > 0:00:07Birthplace of Diego Maradona, and lots of other people too, probably.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Wasn't Gloria Estefan from there?
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Anyway, it is home to the most terrifying assault course on earth.
0:00:13 > 0:00:20And 20 valiant Brits, including a train driver, a housewife and a quantity surveyor,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24are about to tackle the hardest obstacle course in the history of ever,
0:00:24 > 0:00:29for the honour, the glory, and the ten grand prize money.
0:00:29 > 0:00:3320 start, but only one can win. Let the games commence.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36Welcome to Total Wipeout.
0:00:36 > 0:00:42When it comes to assault course based entertainment shows, which I present, which are on TV right now,
0:00:42 > 0:00:43this is my favourite.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Ish.
0:00:45 > 0:00:4820 courageous competitors are about to be bumped, bruised and pushed -
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and that's just to get them out of the hotel rooms.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53By the end of today, one will win £10,000,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56so let's see what the course has in store for them.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The Qualifier, or as I call it, Round One.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The Sweeper, or, Round Two.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The Dreadmill, that's Round Three.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Then finally, the Wipeout Zone. Those who fear it refer to it as...Round Four.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13So, let's get this party started.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17I'll be the party host, our Total Wipeout course will provide the party games...
0:01:17 > 0:01:18DOORBELL RINGS
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Oh, first party guest is here.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Oh, it's just Amanda Byram.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Who told her about my party?
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I'm joined by James at the top of the course, who is a chartered surveyor.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Now, James, are you sure you're cut out for this course today?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Yes, I'm hoping that my personality will bring me through this course.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46This is for all the grey-suited quantity surveyors out there.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50I'm long and lean and an energy machine!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Party boy James is on a mission to show us that quantity surveyors
0:01:54 > 0:01:56play as hard as they work.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00To the rolling logs, then. Making a welcome return to The Qualifier.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Oh, he runs like a girl.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05That's unfair! To girls.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10But this is impressive.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Quantity surveyors not only work hard and play hard, they also splash hard.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yeah, that's what he's proved there.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24James is about to survey a large quantity
0:02:24 > 0:02:27of pneumatic boxing gloves on the sucker punch.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30He's surveying that. He did it on purpose.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Taken out by an invisible punch! That's how crazy party-boy James is.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39James now approaching the big balls.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43He's presumably surveying the quantity of them as I speak.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47One...two...three, yeah, four big balls.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Here we go.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Yes! Oh ho!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02That must be the first time a quantity surveyor has ever made anybody laugh.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Mission accomplished, James. You've done it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Ow!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The bubble bath makes its first appearance of this series, now.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14There's a foam party going on in that doughnut hole -
0:03:14 > 0:03:16can party-boy James swing into it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Land on the doughnut, land on the... No.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22No, James lets himself go a little too early, and misses the party.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Oh dear.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Aargh!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Because he missed the bubble bath,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34James has to swim to the pontoon, where the clock now stops.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40I cannot describe to you how breath-taking that was.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I can't describe how much I need the loo, though I'm gonna press on.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Anyway, party-boy James finishes in a strong time of two minutes, 38 seconds.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Not bad - for a suit.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Now, an exclusive for you.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00There have been hundreds of rumours and sightings for 30 years...
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Yeah!
0:04:00 > 0:04:05..but I can now officially confirm - Elvis ain't dead.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Not this one, anyway.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10This is Elvis, a 34-year-old security officer from Bristol.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So, Elvis, are you gonna shake up this course today?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Yeah, I'm gonna shake it! Wanna show my power off to everyone.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Uh-huh. Uh-huh-huh.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Well, I'll tell you what we need from you, Elvis,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26is a little less conversation and a little more action, please. OK?
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Umm...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33I got it, Amanda. The King sets off.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You're supposed to go over it, Elvis, not under.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now he's up on to the logs.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Oooh!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Trademark pelvis action from Elvis there!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh, come on, logs, don't be cruel!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56There's some rock n' roll things I could be saying there, but I can't be bothered.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01That's how Elvis swims? What was that?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Let's see if the sucker punch is an Elvis fan.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08No.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12More of a Muddy Waters fan. Yeah.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15The King Vs The Balls.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17What a moment!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Yep, fools definitely do rush in.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Elvis!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40You climb the ladder, not the scaffolding!
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis's brain has left the building.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Tell him what he's doing wrong, Amanda.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Take off the Velcro!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- What?- Take off the Velcro!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Nice one, Elvis. Here we go.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Can I go now?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Yeah.- Yes, please. That'd be good.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04The King swings!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yeah, and he's in!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Elvis has left the course!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Couldn't find his way out of the doughnuts.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Six minutes 12 seconds, that's a king-sized time.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Elvis did seem to have trouble with the logs and...everything, really.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25But let's start with the logs and see how some of today's less rock'n'roll competitors fared.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27# I'm all shook up...#
0:06:27 > 0:06:33This is for all the older, the slightly larger people - bring it on!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38This is the euphemistic 37-year-old single dad Kieran.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42He's from Belfast, and his hobbies include hill walking, and...
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and, uh, log falling.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ooof!
0:06:48 > 0:06:5231-year-old Rachel runs her own cleaning company and comes from the Lake District.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh! And obviously misses the water.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06And then there's 20-year-old physics student, Casey,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09who's come up with a brave theory on how to cross the logs.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13OK? No, back to the lab for brainy Casey.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20What an action that was.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Can anyone show those logs how it's done?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Meet 27-year-old Alex from Ditchley.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37He's a landscaper! That's a gardener to you and me.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- Are you determined that you'll win, Alex?- Oh yes. Whatever happens, I'll keep going till the end.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'll be rooting for you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49That actually hurt.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Alex of course more used to planting trees than rolling on logs,
0:07:52 > 0:07:53but he's not letting that stop him!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Wow! That is how you do it!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Big balls now, come on!
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Oh, oh, oh!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Still ends up in the Total Wipeout water feature.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06- HE BURPS - Pardon him.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- HE BURPS - Oh dear.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It happens.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That landing would have knocked the wind out of him.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Hopefully.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Come on!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30PTHRRRT
0:08:30 > 0:08:33That was pretty fast!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, I thought that was naff!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Also I got bad wind.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Really? Oh, stand away then!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Yeah, stand away, Amanda.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46It is time for a leader board.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Party-boy James leads the fun,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50but gassy Alex is within burping distance in second.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Rachel and Kieran sneak in front of brainy Casey,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56leaving poor old Elvis back in last place.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Remember, only 12 qualify for the Sweeper,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01so the King could be facing an imminent return to the,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03oh I'll say it, Heartbreak Hotel.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05# I'm all shook up...#
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Now, to take part in Total Wipeout, you certainly need self-belief.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12You better witness the fitness!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But some have a teensy bit more than others.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Our next three challengers certainly have plenty.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24Chris, Marie and 51-year-old Dave from Swadlincote.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27What exactly are you gonna achieve on this course out here today?
0:09:27 > 0:09:32Have fun, make people laugh and above all, I'm gonna win. Come on!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35How do you rate your chances today?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I'm up there. Up there. I'm in the final already, I can see it.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45Dave! Do you have what it takes to beat this course today?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Of course, I will take it apart.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51I've got no problems at all with this. And when I win, you'll see me do the splits.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- Just in case you don't win, can I see something now? - No problem at all.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00OLD STYLE MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Little bit of that out there. - No problem at all. No problem.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14We catch up with the competitive threesome at the sucker punch.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18No-problem-at-all Dave has a little problem.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Not with the boxing gloves, just his balance.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Yeah, what he did there was... fall off.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26That's what happened.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I lost me trainer!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Train driver Marie is making this look easy.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38No, I don't mean easy, do I? I mean really difficult.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Yeah, now she's making getting her toe out of the mud
0:10:45 > 0:10:47look very difficult as well. Oh dear.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52So, 39-year-old Chris from Dunstable said he wanted to make people laugh.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I suspect that may happen shortly.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Raised a snigger, maybe.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08Tries to say "How do you do?" to it. No need to be polite, Chris, it just tried to punch you in the face.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11This course ain't gonna beat me!
0:11:11 > 0:11:12No, it's not.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17But the rubbish punch did beat you though, Chris, didn't it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19If 51-year-old Dave wins,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21he said he'll spend his winnings on a hair transplant.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Remind me again how you rate your chances, Dave.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27No problem at all. No problem.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28OK.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40I think the problem was the missing shoe. You slipped, Dave. Keep the hat.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Bring on the balls!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Back to train driver Marie.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Expect further delays due to four giant red balls on the line.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Well, in a line.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Are any of this competitive bunch gonna make it past the first ball?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Chris. It's down to you.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Oh. All mouth, no trousers.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11So, competitive Chris comes home in a time of three minutes, 44 seconds.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- Yeah!- Yes.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23And no-problem-at-all Dave has no problem at all, and beats Chris's time by three seconds.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26And despite missing her final destination,
0:12:26 > 0:12:32train driver Marie beats both the boys to back up her pre-course fighting talk.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Oh, I'm wiped out!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43From the over-confident, to the downright scared. Bless him.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45He can barely look at the course.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Meet 18-year-old Antony, who's training to be a flight attendant.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Can I just ask what I'm doing?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- I said training to be a flight attendant.- OK, cool.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Just thought I'd check.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58All right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Antony, prepare for some turbulence.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06OK, he's up and away.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Quick dash...
0:13:09 > 0:13:10On to the rolling logs.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Quick splash.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Oh dear, nervous Antony doesn't seem heavy enough to move the logs!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Flying low on the sucker punch, look at that.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24Pull up! Pull up! Oh...
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I fear he's going to snap in half.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33We can tape him back together and send him out to play again.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I'm gonna attack the course straight down the middle.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Exits to the side. And I'm gonna jump, jump, jump to success.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Brilliant!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Oh, look at that! Loop the loop, that's advanced.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51Antony jumps, jumps, jumps his way straight into the water.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It's elegant, though.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Come on then, let's see a good finish.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Oh, wow! Missed.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06He's airborne!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Now he's water-borne.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11A highly entertaining run from nervous Antony,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and a time of two minutes 49 seconds puts him in first class.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20This year, the BBC asked me if I'd fly out to Argentina to present some bits from there.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24I said "No way," then they asked me if I'd like a glass of milk,
0:14:24 > 0:14:25and of course, I said "Yes."
0:14:25 > 0:14:30It tasted a bit funny, and next thing I know, I'm in Argentina.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Oh yeah, just taught the sucker punch one hell of a lesson.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Sorry, old friend, but you had to learn.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49So, an Argentinean wind blows softly off the wide savannah,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52whispering gentle Spanish words across the water,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55caressing the grass and kissing the very sky itself.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00But enough of that, I'm sitting next to a wall made of MDF that punches people!
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Why am I here?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Your guess is very much as good as mine.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09But while I am here, these are my do's and don'ts for success on the sucker punch.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Don't run too quickly. You'll get punched.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28Do invest in a powerful biological washing powder with unique stain-removing properties.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29You'll need it.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Don't underestimate the invisible punch.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Do train for six years and become a professional boxer.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I'm just gonna duck, weave, punch, and I'm just gonna destroy it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Don't plan on having any more kids.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So, those are my do's and don'ts for success on the sucker punch.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, bit of muck there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Yup, all clean again now.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23What makes Britain great?
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Well, I'll tell you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27We are a determined nation.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29A country with a heart.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32If we fail, we keep on trying until we succeed.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Here's the proof.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Remember Emma from series one?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Last time round, Emma didn't make it past the rolling logs.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43She holds the record for the shortest time spent on them.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Aargh!- Yup, that was it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47But instead of sitting around moping,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Emma's decided to come back and conquer that obstacle that once defeated her.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Because she's British, and that's what we do.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So, what have you been doing to prepare?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01To make sure that you defeat the course this time round, Emma?
0:17:01 > 0:17:07I've been training extra hard, I've been out jogging and doing kickboxing and just other different sports.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Rolling logs, you better watch out because she's coming for you!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Total Wipeout won the first time, but I'm gonna cause the knockout blow!
0:17:22 > 0:17:23I believe you!
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Emma is the first contestant ever to get two go's at the qualifier,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30let's see if practice makes perfect.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Looking nervous as she approaches her nemesis.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39She's had eight months to think about this, I think she can do it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Oh, she's opted for the rarely seen backwards technique.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45She's already stayed on longer than she did in the first series.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Balance is key here.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Oh. Anyone else just get deja vu?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Emma again, she's swallowed her pride and a fair amount of the pool
0:17:59 > 0:18:02to come back for a third bite of the cherry.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Backwards again.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05No, forwards. Go on, Emma.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Just go for it, go for it!
0:18:10 > 0:18:11She's broken another record!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14First person not even making the first log.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16This girl is a record-breaking machine.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Honestly can't see a thing!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And onwards. Emma again in uncharted territory now,
0:18:23 > 0:18:24as she approaches the sucker punch.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Thanks for that lifejacket.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Nearly there!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37And remember, this woman never gives up.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Let's rejoin her later. Amanda will look after her.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Now, here are two ladies who want to prove they're more than a match for this course.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48And that lemon is the colour for 2009.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Mum of two Mel from Surrey, and housewife Margo from Linlithgow.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Have you ever taken on anything as physical as this before?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Not quite like this, but I have to say I'm very proud of the fact that
0:18:59 > 0:19:02a swimming record I set at school when I was 16 still stands today.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07I swam one length, 33 and one third yards, in 16.8 seconds.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Absolutely beautiful, Mel.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Thank you.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13So, Margo, do you feel the need for speed?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Yeah, lots of speed, that's why I've got nine points on my licence.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Oh, nine, eh, Margo? Just three more and you get a free toaster.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25She's on to the rolling logs. And looking pretty good.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Oh yes! Oh no, no.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Mel now. Is anyone else struggling to tell them apart?
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Just me.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Mel again. No, it's Margo! On to the sucker punch.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And, oh!
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Margo now...no, Mel's turn now, on the sucker punch.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47And doing very well. She's cleared it, she's nearly cleared it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52This is what you want, girls, you want to see Mummy!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54I found that strangely moving.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Oh, so did she.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Mummy Mel did very well then.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Can Margo match Mel?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Other than clothing wise, obviously.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05She's already done that.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Margo now on the big balls.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Here we go!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13And that's three more points on Margo's licence. Bye-bye.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Oh!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Is it possible that she just broke in two?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, she might be broken, but two minutes 14
0:20:25 > 0:20:28is a very fast time from Mummy Mel.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Ow!
0:20:30 > 0:20:35No-licence Margo comes in two whole seconds behind, but she wins a gold star for that finish.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37A gold star and mild concussion.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Back down the course now, to the epitome of the British fighting spirit.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44It's Emma again.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50Come on, Emma. This is the easy bit! The hard bit's over.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56That's just bare-faced lies from Amanda. She's on! She's off again.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Quite quickly. Oh, Emma!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01But this woman is like a Terminator.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03She absolutely will not give up.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Ever.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Come on, Emma, again!
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Yes! You can do it this time!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Oh! Come on!
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Come on, Emma!
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Finish it!
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Yes, finish it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Finish it.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- I will finish! I said I came here to finish, I will finish.- Yes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I think she will.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29The moral of this story this is, time for the happy ending...
0:21:36 > 0:21:42But Emma finishes in a staggering 15 minutes and 32 seconds.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45That's her third Total Wipeout record. Amazing!
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Two goes and to not finish it would be just unforgivable.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I finished my dream.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Completed it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It feels so good.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00So, Mummy Mel and no-license Margo race into the top two spots.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Antony flies into fourth while train driver Marie chugs into sixth.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Competitive Chris will be annoyed
0:22:06 > 0:22:08that he's been beaten by no-problem-at-all Dave,
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and six other people.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12And where Elvis was in last place,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15he's been replaced by triple record holder Emma again.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17We've given her a whole page,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21as she now holds the record for the longest time spent on the course,
0:22:21 > 0:22:22as well as the shortest.
0:22:22 > 0:22:29Next to tackle the qualifier is model/actor/all round sales assistant, Dan from Devon.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34This course may be mission impossible, but show me the money!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35What?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So, Dan, anything that I would recognise you from?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43I've done a few commercials for banks, but also, I am a look-alike.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Oh, for who?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46A famous celebrity.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Yeah...yeah, no.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Tom Cruise.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Are you really?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Maybe if I squint.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Are you a Tom Cruise look-alikey?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Yes.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Do something Cruisey for me then. - Cruisey, let's see what we've got.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Oh yeah. who can forget the classic splits jump scene from Top Gun?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Show me the money!
0:23:10 > 0:23:11OK.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Beat the other 19 contestants and maybe I will.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16So Dan Cruise is off and wet.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Up on to the pontoons, quickly on to the logs.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Here we go.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Wow!
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Dangerous and ineffective, but great for us.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28# Take my breath away...#
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The log is happy to oblige in the taking the breath away department.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33On to the sucker punch in a flash.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Think of the money.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Show me the money! - Yeah, think of the money.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'll show you the mud. That any good?
0:23:42 > 0:23:47At last, the sucker punch actually connects with someone's face.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Don't ruin Dan's, though, it is his livelihood.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Here we go.- On to the balls.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Off the balls.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Quite quickly.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's like jumping on Oprah Winfrey's couch.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Yeah.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Less Maverick there, more a bit of a Goose.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10That's how Tom Cruise would do it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Just the bubble bath to go, and he's in good time.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Oh, mayday, mayday!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Dan Cruise finishes in an impressive two minutes 57.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Looks like the next round is mission possible.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28SHE SINGS THE MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEME
0:24:28 > 0:24:30She does that when she's happy.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He did come a bit unstuck on the soapy bubble bath, though.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36And Dan Cruise wasn't the only one.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42There was gassy Alex.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47And of course, nervous Antony.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54And who could forget party-boy James?
0:24:56 > 0:25:0125-year-old Jo from Essex is determined to be the first female winner.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I've had enough of the boys winning, it's gonna be me that wins! Woo!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Unfortunately you're three shows too late, Jo,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and you missed the bubble bath.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15This is account executive Megan, from Kent.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I used to be a cheerleader.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19For my university, the Birmingham Pussycats.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- What?- The Birmingham Pussycats.
0:25:22 > 0:25:29Total! W-I-P-E-O-U-T! Wipeout!
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Good luck!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Oh! And Megan's landed right on her pom-pom.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Now that's a move I bet she's never used before.
0:25:40 > 0:25:4420-year-old Tracey from Cardiff can do some good flippy stuff.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46So surely she can do the bubble bath.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Here we go.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Yes, she can!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Flippy Tracey glides into the bubble bath,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55for a well deserved, if slightly wet sit down.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05If anyone on tonight's programme is going to have big balls skills,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08it's got to be football-crazy Camilla from Cambridge.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Or crazy football coach, Paul.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14So, Paul, what is it that you do?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I am a football coach.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17- Oh, no.- Get off my mic.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20That's a yellow card, Paul. We don't touch her microphone.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You wouldn't like her when she's angry.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I'm gonna score a goal, I'm gonna get a hat trick!
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Get in there!
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Red card, Einstein. Score one goal and get a hat trick? A hat trick's three goals.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35He teaches football.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Einstein is off.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Out of the water an on to the rolling logs.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Oh, he's slipped! But he's holding on.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Not sure he's got the hang of the "Against the clock" thing, though.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Let's leave him paddling around and see if Camilla's kicked off yet.
0:26:53 > 0:26:58Well, my main sport is football and I play for Queen's Park Rangers Ladies and we've just got promoted
0:26:58 > 0:26:59so come on the Super Hoops!
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Go, girlfriend!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Go, girlfriends, let's go, man. - Come on!- Come on! Super Hoops!
0:27:05 > 0:27:07This must be a girl thing, I don't understand.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Let's see how Super Hoops does on the big balls.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13She is carrying a little extra weight there in Argentinean sludge.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Doesn't help with grip.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Here we go.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23One, two, two again and off.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26As Big Balls dismounts go, that was actually quite controlled.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30I think we could be seeing more of Super Hoops.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Come on, let's go, Super Hoops!
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Just the bubble bath to go.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, and she almost jumps over it! And at two minutes 45,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42we'll definitely be seeing Super Hoops in the next round.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Assuming Eduardo can find her in all those bubbles.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Meanwhile, Einstein's looking weary.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Can he equalise?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55No, that was poor ball control.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Oh! Just wide!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Wrong way, Einstein, wrong way.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Paul, that way. That way.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Sadly, all that time in the water
0:28:09 > 0:28:12means Paul hasn't qualified for the Sweeper.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I finished it!
0:28:14 > 0:28:16And he's looked thinner.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20So, the full-time whistle has blown on 19 of today's competitors.
0:28:20 > 0:28:26Just one left, and they'll need to put in a good performance to make it into the all-important top 12.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30This is Sean, 19, from Stockton-on-Tees.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Sean hates musicals and has a phobia of donkeys.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Only kidding, Sean.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Sean, what is it that you do, my dear?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Basically, I'm joining the Royal Navy as a submariner.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I'm a bit of a hard-core guy, myself, you see.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47# In the navy You can sail the seven seas
0:28:47 > 0:28:48# In the navy... #
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Is there anything out there that scares you?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55The idea of the punching wall. But if it hits me I'll probably hit it back.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57# In the navy...#
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Check out the gun boats on those.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04# In the navy, yes you can put your mind at ease...#
0:29:04 > 0:29:06He must really love that arm.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Come on, Total Wipeout! You ain't sinkin' me!
0:29:09 > 0:29:14So, off he goes. Yet to find his sea legs.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Now, show those logs who's boss!
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Yeah, that's right. They're the boss.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28It's official, even the Navy is scared of the sucker punch.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30No, he's not. Surely he's...
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Oh, he's fighting back!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Oh, and so's gravity.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36If it hits me I'll probably hit it back.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Well, the sea dog is as good as his word, he did, ha-ha!
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Not seen that before.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Stinks!
0:29:43 > 0:29:47It stinks? Maybe he got a whiff of his armpit.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Well, it's not a blistering pace from sea-dog Sean, but he is focussed.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- On his shorts.- Kegs are fallin'. Hi, Amanda.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Hi.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01And Amanda.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Oh!
0:30:04 > 0:30:09Can someone call air-sea rescue? I think we might need a winch.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Less of a submarine and more of an old ferry.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I swallowed all of that!
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Spit it out, we need it back.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Navy's gonna love this.- Well, stop chatting and get a move on!
0:30:25 > 0:30:26One more obstacle to go.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Show us why the Royal Navy is the envy of the world, Sean.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Oh! And he makes it!
0:30:33 > 0:30:35That was a surprise.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Less surprising is sea-dog Sean's failure to qualify,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40but at least he had a nice day out.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42So, who are the 12 going through to the sweeper?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45At the top of the leader board it's an all-girl one, two, three
0:30:45 > 0:30:48with Mummy Mel, no-licence Margo and flippy Tracey.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Party-boy James takes fourth spot,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53and nervous Antony fastens his seatbelt in sixth.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Dan cruised his way into seventh, and no-problem-at-all Dave
0:30:57 > 0:31:00had no problem at all making it into the top 12.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03But let us not forget those that were left behind.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Like The King, sea-dog Sean, and our triple Total Wipeout record holder, Emma again.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's only polite to say goodbye properly.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13# That's life
0:31:13 > 0:31:15# That's life
0:31:15 > 0:31:17# That's what all the people say
0:31:19 > 0:31:25# You're ridin' high in April Shot down in May
0:31:25 > 0:31:29# But I know I'm gonna change that tune
0:31:29 > 0:31:36# When I'm back on top Back on top in June
0:31:36 > 0:31:39# I say that's life
0:31:39 > 0:31:40# That's life
0:31:40 > 0:31:41# That's life
0:31:41 > 0:31:44# And I can't deny it
0:31:44 > 0:31:50# Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
0:31:50 > 0:31:55# But if there's nothing chasing from this here July... #
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Hi, Amanda.
0:31:58 > 0:32:05# I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball
0:32:05 > 0:32:11# And die
0:32:12 > 0:32:20# My, my. #
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Emma Again will win series three, I just know it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28On to more pressing matters now, or crushing ones.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It's the Sweeper.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41And today's sweeper is the headache-inducing, body-squeezing,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43double-barrelled crusher.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47There's one thing running through the competitors' brains right now -
0:32:47 > 0:32:51did I bring spare pants? Because this thing is terrifying.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's crushed plenty of Brits already this series,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57and it intends to crush six more as it cuts the field in half.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Hopefully not literally, obviously.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Then, for your amusement, and more importantly mine,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06it wont stop until we have a last person standing.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Let's meet the crusher's crushees.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10On podium one, it's Mummy Mel.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Number one in the qualifier, number one in the Sweeper.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Followed by pom-pom Megan on podium two.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18- Aahh!- Yeah.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23On three, four and five are no-licence Margo, three-shows-too-late Jo...
0:33:23 > 0:33:24- HE BURPS - ..And gassy Alex.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Train driver Marie is on podium six.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Woo-woo!
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Steady as a rock.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31And on podium seven,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Dan Cruise is looking less and less like Tom.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Check out these top guns!
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Oh, for goodness' sake.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Nervous Antony is on number eight.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Everyone, your exists are all around, see you all on landing.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49And on podiums nine and ten are no-problem-at-all Dave and party-boy James.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Is it too late just for me to nip to the toilet?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Just wait until you get in the water, James. It'll be fine.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Completing the line-up on podiums 11 and 12 are Super Hoops and flippy Tracey.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Dan, it's not about your top guns, I'm gonna show you the money.
0:34:03 > 0:34:08Flippy Tracey's raring to go, but you need more than raring to beat the crusher.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13You need timing, balance, and for 11 of them, a maxi-pack of waterproof plasters.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Let's get going.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It's time for the Sweeper. Are you all ready?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19ALL: Yeah!
0:34:19 > 0:34:24They sound happy now. It's three...two...one...
0:34:24 > 0:34:28Here goes nothing! And by nothing I mean two huge padded arms
0:34:28 > 0:34:33that get faster and closer together with every revolution.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Oh, and two have gone already!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Three-shows-too-late Jo went first.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41A little stumble is all it takes.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45I just lost my footing. Gutted! Because I wanted to stay up there till the end!
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Train driver Marie has gone, too.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52It's just a big red bar coming at ya, right at ya. It's hideous.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Fun but hideous. Well, no, it's not fun. It's just hideous.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56But it comes right at ya.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Five boys and five girls remain standing.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Well, wobbling.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Dropping like flies.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12I guess it's a bit like skipping in a room with a really low ceiling.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I say "guess" because I've never actually tried either.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I wanted to, but my holiday insurance form didn't have a tick-box for "the crusher".
0:35:19 > 0:35:24That bottom bar now getting higher, and the crusher getting faster.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27They're doing well, though. Coping admirably.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Oh no, no!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35No-license Margo's gone down.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39That's without doubt the worst fall I've ever seen on Total Wipeout.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44Probably one of the worst offloads on Total Wipeout ever.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Great minds think alike. Three down, three to go.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Pom-pom Megan very nearly goes there.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57All those years spent balancing on other cheerleaders' shoulders is paying dividends now.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Oh, a lot of screaming going on, not enough falling, though. Come on!
0:36:05 > 0:36:08That bar getting really quite fast now.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14This is unbelievable.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Come on, someone fall off! You're just prolonging it!
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Oh!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- Oh!- Two for the price of one.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Now it's mayhem.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Three went down there.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27Super Hoops almost loop the loops, and flippy Tracey, well that is quite a flip.
0:36:27 > 0:36:33I'm a competitive person, so any times I don't come number one, that's a disappointment.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Well, you haven't disappointed us, Camilla, what a way to go. And as for Tracey...
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I just saw her feet coming towards me,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and I couldn't see the bar because she was basically over the top of it.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44I think I went off in spectacular fashion though, didn't I?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Yes. So, with Tracey gone, there are seven left.
0:36:50 > 0:36:57Mel, Megan, Alex, Dan, Antony, Dave and James.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59We've got to lose one more.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00And there she is!
0:37:00 > 0:37:05Pom-pom Megan hits her face and reverse head-butts the water.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Show off.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I'm just absolutely gutted because I was the last one.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13There is absolutely no more cheering left in me now.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19So, we have the six going through to the next round.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Mummy Mel, gassy Alex, Dan Cruise, nervous Antony,
0:37:23 > 0:37:25no-problem-at-all Dave and party-boy James.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31Who will enjoy the pride, the honour, and the bruise-free shins of being crowned last man standing?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Oh, well it won't be no-problem-at-all Dave.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42Bottom bar just clips Dave's left toe and sends him water-wards.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46If he can't swim, no-problem-at-all Dave will become one-big-problem Dave.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51Mummy Mel bows out, or rather ducks out of this round,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53but she's safely through to the next.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Let's get back to the action. Where are we?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Oh! Dan's down.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05And so is Antony.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Dan Cruise hits the eject button in spectacular style,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12while nervous Antony decides to keep him company
0:38:12 > 0:38:14down there in the cold, murky depths.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15So.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19It's just Alex and James left. Alex clears it!
0:38:20 > 0:38:24As does James, those bars are getting pretty close together now.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Oh, Alex is gone! He doesn't know which way is up!
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Good thing he was wearing kneepads,
0:38:30 > 0:38:36because having knees that still function will come in useful in the next round.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41So, party-boy James has outshone everyone to become the last man standing.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Who said chartered surveyors were boring?
0:38:45 > 0:38:51I want to get one of those car stickers. "Chartered surveyors jump higher" or something like that.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53But yeah, we obviously can do something right.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Well, I have seen less amusing car stickers.
0:38:58 > 0:39:04So, the sweeper has, in its own sweet way, narrowed the field from 12 to six.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Now to the penultimate challenge of today's proceedings.
0:39:07 > 0:39:13You cannot possibly imagine the scale or ferocity of the dreadmill.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Unless you can imagine two running machines side by side,
0:39:16 > 0:39:20in which case, you can imagine the scale or ferocity of the dreadmill.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Here it is.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30The final six have been split into three heats.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35Each heat will see two competitors head to head on jumbo-sized running machines.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Except they're just not as jolly as that sounds.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40Add two enormous demolition balls,
0:39:40 > 0:39:46powered by Argentineans who don't get fed until the game is over, and things get interesting.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51As the round goes on, the machines go faster, the balls go lower and I laugh. A lot.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55Whoever gets swept into the pool is out.
0:39:55 > 0:40:01Whoever stays standing qualifies for the Wipeout Zone. It's as easy - and as hard - as that.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03And just in case you've forgotten,
0:40:03 > 0:40:08here's a reminder of the six competitors who have signed up for the gym from hell.
0:40:08 > 0:40:14Now surveying the horror of the dreadmill, it's last man standing, party-boy James.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18This is for all the grey-suited quantity surveyors out there.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Followed swiftly by a wind-propelled gassy Alex.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23HE BURPS
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Dan Cruise shows us the money.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Check out these top guns!
0:40:27 > 0:40:28And just how cool he is.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32This is what you want, girls, you want to see Mummy?
0:40:32 > 0:40:36While Mummy Mel is the only woman in the final six.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39No-problem-at-all Dave had no problem at all.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41No problem at all. No problem.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Apart from all the problems.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46And nervous Antony who is totally focussed on the task at hand.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48Can I ask what I'm doing?
0:40:48 > 0:40:52It's the dreadmill, Antony. I just explained that.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Under the watchful eye of a snoozing Eduardo, the names have been drawn from a hat.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00So let's see who is facing who in the dreadmill heats.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Heat one: Nervous Antony versus no-problem-at-all Dave.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I'm not nervous about facing Dave,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11it's just the fact of the big ball coming towards me that scares me a lot.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13The guy's only about two stone wet through.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17I'm not going to talk to him or anything, I'm going to annihilate him.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Course you are, Dave.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Time for these guys now to go head to head. Or should I say head to dread?
0:41:22 > 0:41:27The oldest versus the youngest. Yep, it's Dave versus Antony. Are you guys ready?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Three...two...one!
0:41:32 > 0:41:36So one of these guys will make it through to the Wipeout Zone, but which one will it be?
0:41:36 > 0:41:4251-year-old northern soul fan Dave? Or 18-year-old trainee cabin crew, Antony?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Less of a run, more of a trot at the moment.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46That will change.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Bless Dave with this little legs and his long shorts.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52They must stay between the red markers.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55KLAXON SOUNDS
0:41:55 > 0:41:58There goes the klaxon. That means the demolition balls start swinging.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02It's about to get dangerous, and the fun starts for you and me.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Obviously not for them.
0:42:04 > 0:42:12So this will test their nerve. And their ability to run while looking over their shoulder.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Try it, it's not easy!
0:42:13 > 0:42:20And with every swing, the demolition balls get lower and the dreadmills get faster.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Antony managing to duck very low.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Very low.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Antony looks scared to death!
0:42:30 > 0:42:34He's probably wondering what he's doing again.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Oh! Dave's looking troubled now!
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Dave falls, and he doesn't even put up a fight!
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Into the pool of despair! Despairing.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Which means nervous Antony is through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53I don't think he was hit, but that low ducking threw him off his stride,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56and that was a big problem for no-problem-at-all Dave.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58It took me off the ball a bit, you see.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Watched him instead of watching what I were doing.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Yeah, I really wanted to do it for everybody. Family and friends, yeah.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- I don't know what to say. I'm distraught.- Aww.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10Yeah, enough of that. Time for heat two.
0:43:10 > 0:43:12It's Mummy Mel Vs Dan Cruise.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18Well, I've done a lot better than what I thought I was gonna do already, so you just don't know.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Don't write me off.
0:43:20 > 0:43:26If I get beaten by a girl... Yeah, my friends are probably gonna give me a lot of grief about it.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31It's not your friends you need to worry about, Dan, it's the treadmill,
0:43:31 > 0:43:35demolition balls and the pool of despair. And the feminists maybe, after that.
0:43:35 > 0:43:40So both Mel and Dan having a peaceful jog. But that peace is about to be shattered.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42KLAXON SOUNDS
0:43:42 > 0:43:43By that!
0:43:43 > 0:43:46And those.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54Mel and Dan are watching those demolition balls closely.
0:43:54 > 0:43:55I would be too.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02That is some very impressive and dramatic ducking going on there.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07Mel is one fit woman, I'll tell you that.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10And Dan's hardly in bad shape to have got this far.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Oh, Mel's been hit! She's on her back! She's on her side!
0:44:14 > 0:44:17She's been swept away, she's out!
0:44:18 > 0:44:21How cool is Dan's celebration?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Not very cool at all.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27That's what you get for showing off, Dan!
0:44:27 > 0:44:30And for winding up hungry Argentineans.
0:44:30 > 0:44:33- I've had a great time.- And you were one super-fit mum, I tell you that.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Your performance today has been excellent. I know your kids will be so proud of you.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42I hope so. Ellie, Amy and hubby Martin, I did my best.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44So, to the final dreadmill heat. There are only two left.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Party-boy James and gassy Alex.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50I'll tell you who's gonna win out of me and Alex.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Me.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56It's always the little quiet ones in the corner you've gotta watch.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Whoa, some high-octane verbal sparring going on there, wasn't it? Nearly.
0:44:59 > 0:45:05So James and Alex face off for that one last place in the Wipeout Zone.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07It's that age-old clash of the titans.
0:45:07 > 0:45:12Quantity surveyor versus landscape gardener. I think that happened before.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14- KLAXON - Let's settle this.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Here come the balls.
0:45:22 > 0:45:28Gassy Alex has been practising for Total Wipeout by walking on barrels and jumping on bales of hay.
0:45:28 > 0:45:35Whilst party-boy James employed his 11-year-old son Connor to help him train by jumping on wheelie bins.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37In both cases, I wonder what the neighbours thought.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41Some good ducking and recovery going on.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44That's a great technique.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Oh! Alex is down though, and struggling! That hurt!
0:45:48 > 0:45:51Somehow he's found his feet!
0:45:51 > 0:45:55Can he, can he, yes! Alex sprints back into the action, what a recovery!
0:45:55 > 0:45:58Those balls getting low now.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02Alex has gotta be exhausted after that effort saving himself.
0:46:07 > 0:46:08Oh! Oh he's gone again!
0:46:08 > 0:46:11And he's up! And now James is down!
0:46:11 > 0:46:14And he's not getting back up!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Oh.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19- Well, amazing stuff from Alex. - Woo! Woo!
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Amazing screaming from Alex.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- Wooo!- Yeah, stop that now.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27It's almost like Alex forgot the ball was coming back again,
0:46:27 > 0:46:33but all it took was one knock and James couldn't match Alex's determination.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37It's the gassy gardener who completes the Wipeout Zone line-up.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41I know your son, Connor, was helping you prepare for this.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43Do you think he's be proud of your performance today?
0:46:43 > 0:46:48I think he'll be proud, but I think he'll be shouting "Dad, what the hell are you doing?"
0:46:48 > 0:46:51What a performance from gassy Alex.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54So, the dreadmill has whittled our six down to three.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56And what a final we have on our hands.
0:46:56 > 0:47:02A flight attendant wannabe, a Tom Cruise wannabe, and a landscape gardener actually-is-a-be.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04All hail our three heroes.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11When I first arrived, I thought I'd be in the final.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Yeah, now I'm here, great.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17I'm very proud, I can hold my head up high.
0:47:17 > 0:47:22I've been to the Wipeout Zone, nobody can ever take that away from me now.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26I'm feeling petrified at the moment, absolutely petrified.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28I just want to get it over with now.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33When I first met Antony I didn't think much of him.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37You know, he's the youngest contestant, he hasn't got much life experience.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Antony has surprised himself and everybody else.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42I don't believe that with the other contestants I could get this far.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44I've slipped under the radar.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46Slipped under it, I've disappeared under it.
0:47:46 > 0:47:50I've got great balance, great determination.
0:47:50 > 0:47:55I'm gonna bring enthusiasm and passion to this final.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58I've got speed, I've got strength, I've got stamina.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02Dan's tall, strong, pretty much the opposites of me, basically.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05I'd like to think I'm more than just a pretty face.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09I'm doing this for me. Doing this for my self-confidence,
0:48:09 > 0:48:12doing this for anybody who's ever looked down on me before.
0:48:12 > 0:48:18100% got it in me to be a winner. Just need to put it into practise now and go smash that course.
0:48:18 > 0:48:24I'm the quiet one in the corner in the pub. Don't ever underestimate me.
0:48:24 > 0:48:30If I had to sum up this experience in one word...is "out of this world" a word? Out of this world!
0:48:35 > 0:48:38So, it's that time of the evening already.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40How time flies when you're having fun.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44Or in the case of the three finalists, approaching extreme physical exhaustion.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Wipeout Zone.
0:48:51 > 0:48:58If Antony, Dan or Alex thought what they'd done so far was tough, they need to think a little bit harder.
0:48:58 > 0:49:02First they face a trip down Killer Surf, before heading up the Barrel Run.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05No falling down or belly flopping allowed.
0:49:05 > 0:49:09Then it's the Monkey Bars, they sort the men from the monkeys.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Before attempting the Scary Spinner.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15Finally they must cross the Brusher and the Launch Pads,
0:49:15 > 0:49:18which have catapulted many finalists into despair.
0:49:18 > 0:49:22And a few of our winners towards glory and £10,000 cheque.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Over to Amanda to get things started.
0:49:25 > 0:49:31It's been an exhausting day. I don't know about them, but I'm absolutely shattered.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33And it's the Wipeout Zone.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36And the first to brave it tonight is Dan.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41If you're just tuning in, no, that's not Tom Cruise, it's Dan Cruise.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45Let's go!
0:49:47 > 0:49:49KLAXON
0:49:50 > 0:49:52Woooo!
0:49:57 > 0:50:01And the action man wannabe hits the water swimming.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08That beam is greased and slippery, remember.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Dan now charges to the Barrels.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13Oh, and he's making them look easy.
0:50:13 > 0:50:14Tom would be proud.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Now it's a swing across those water-drenched Monkey Bars.
0:50:21 > 0:50:24Slippery stuff.
0:50:24 > 0:50:25But Dan cruises across.
0:50:28 > 0:50:29He's cleared it.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Sizing up the Spinner now.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34And he's on.
0:50:34 > 0:50:38First time. Dan is making this Wipeout Zone look easy.
0:50:38 > 0:50:42But he's gotta get off. This is such a dangerous moment,
0:50:42 > 0:50:43leaving the Spinner.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46He's waited one revolution, he steadies himself.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49And he jumps!
0:50:49 > 0:50:52That's a pretty heavy landing, but Dan is straight up.
0:50:52 > 0:50:53And on to the Brusher.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56This is tough.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59What? He's stopped it with his bare hands!
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Just the Launch Pads to go...
0:51:01 > 0:51:04And oh no! This is a disaster.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08It was an almost flawless run.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Up to that point when he just lost balance
0:51:11 > 0:51:12and tipped over the edge.
0:51:12 > 0:51:17It's a swim and a climb back to the start of the Launch Pads for Dan.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Is he checking if he broke a nail?
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Dan Cruise's second attempt. Jump, sideways landing, very nice.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Preparing...makes the leap.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32On to the second...oh, no! He's in again!
0:51:33 > 0:51:38Looks like he might hang on, but he just tipped over, lost it.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Back to the start of the Launch Pads once more.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Dan really must be tiring by now.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48His time was so good. He's made the first one.
0:51:54 > 0:51:55He's on to the second.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Yes!
0:51:57 > 0:52:01And Dan completes the Wipeout Zone.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Such a great start.
0:52:08 > 0:52:13But with five minutes now on the clock, I'm not sure the look-alike looks like a winner.
0:52:13 > 0:52:14Only time will tell.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Aww, that's gutting.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20I think I was pretty fast until then.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Dan, you've set the time of five minutes and one second, but it might be quick enough
0:52:24 > 0:52:27because you never know what happens in the Wipeout Zone.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30So the next contestant tonight is Antony.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37Is Nervous Antony man enough for the Wipeout Zone?
0:52:37 > 0:52:40He is looking nervous, but that's quite normal for him.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45Wipeout Zone, here I come.
0:52:45 > 0:52:46The roar of a champion there.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Hey, he's got this far.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52- KLAXON - I'm scared watching.
0:52:56 > 0:52:57He's out of the ring.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Into the water.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Strong swim for the beam.
0:53:05 > 0:53:09Oh, little slip on the beam but he's back up on his feet.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13Remember, Antony doesn't know Dan's time.
0:53:13 > 0:53:14Oh dear.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Oh, he's struggling a bit on the Barrel Run,
0:53:18 > 0:53:19but he is making progress.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21He's going in the right direction.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31He must be made of bits of wire, how's he holding together?
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Now, if Antony wins the prize money tonight,
0:53:34 > 0:53:37he wants to spend it on getting his pilot's licence.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Not another person who wants to be Tom Cruise.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44He's cleared it though, and straight on to the Spinner.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47He's on, this is a very good time.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50But as we've just seen, anything can still happen.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53Whoa! That was a short stay on the Spinner from Antony, amazing!
0:53:53 > 0:53:58The Brusher now, this has claimed so many.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Antony making it look easy.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04If he can make these Launch Pads without falling, he will smash Dan's time.
0:54:04 > 0:54:05He's on to the first, looking good.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08He's on to the second!
0:54:11 > 0:54:12He's done it!
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Nervous Antony may well be lifting that winner's trophy tonight!
0:54:15 > 0:54:17If those little arms can manage it.
0:54:20 > 0:54:25Well, he struggled a bit to begin with, but nervous Antony soon got into his stride,
0:54:25 > 0:54:28and belted round the Wipeout Zone in one minute 30.
0:54:28 > 0:54:29He's no idea he's beaten Dan yet.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31I'd say ecstatic with that.
0:54:31 > 0:54:37You know, I've been really worried about you all day, haven't I? But clearly I don't need to be.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Naah. Well, I don't mind.
0:54:40 > 0:54:47Well, I tell you what, Antony. Dan, I'm afraid I won't be showing you the money tonight.
0:54:49 > 0:54:56Wow, Antony! So there may be more meat on a vegan buffet, but that was an incredible performance.
0:54:56 > 0:55:00Gassy Alex is all that stands between Antony and £10,000.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03So, can he turn in an even more impressive time?
0:55:03 > 0:55:05Let's find out.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10Wipeout Zone! It's playtime!
0:55:13 > 0:55:14KLAXON
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Whoa! Man!
0:55:18 > 0:55:21Gassy Alex. Silent, but deadly.
0:55:25 > 0:55:26Oh dear.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28I hope he hasn't swallowed too much water,
0:55:28 > 0:55:31because we all know what happens when he does that.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34Swimming now to the beam.
0:55:38 > 0:55:39Balancing.
0:55:39 > 0:55:40And making it to the Barrel Run.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Alex can't afford any mistakes at all
0:55:42 > 0:55:44if he's going to beat Antony's impressive time.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46This is a quick start.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Now, on to those Monkey Bars.
0:55:48 > 0:55:54Good solid stuff from the gassy landscape gardener.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59He's cleared the bars. The Spinner next.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02And on to the Spinner in no time.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06It's getting off where the accidents happen.
0:56:06 > 0:56:07Come on now.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10So much time can be lost or saved here.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13Sets himself...leaps!
0:56:13 > 0:56:16And hangs on to the platform! This is a quick time.
0:56:17 > 0:56:18Now the Brusher.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Alex goes for it, and he's down!
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Just losing his footing there and in he went.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34His challenge for the title is all over now.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Launch Pad one.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Oh no!
0:56:39 > 0:56:40He's off again!
0:56:44 > 0:56:46But still fighting. Launch Pads, take two.
0:56:46 > 0:56:47Alex, remember, doesn't know
0:56:47 > 0:56:50that Antony did it in such an amazing time.
0:56:50 > 0:56:54So he's still trying his hardest to finish quickly. He makes the first.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01Ooh...
0:57:01 > 0:57:07Just hangs on to the second... and he's across.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Aaargh! I'm the winner!
0:57:10 > 0:57:14Yes, Alex, you are the winner. But only in the belching contest.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20Gassy Alex really let rip in the first half of the course,
0:57:20 > 0:57:24but unfortunately for him he just couldn't follow it through.
0:57:24 > 0:57:25I said that on purpose.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29That was one nail-biting experience for me.
0:57:29 > 0:57:31How are you feeling?
0:57:31 > 0:57:32I'm pumped, I'm psyched.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35I'm just really gutted about the tramps.
0:57:35 > 0:57:40Listen, you should be proud of yourself, it was a brilliant performance. I can tell you now,
0:57:40 > 0:57:43Alex, I'm afraid you haven't won.
0:57:43 > 0:57:48Antony, you're the Total Wipeout champion, you're gonna get your private pilot's licence! Well done!
0:57:51 > 0:57:55Well, who'd have thought it? From nervous to victorious, and rightly so.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58Our fifth winner of the series is crowned.
0:57:59 > 0:58:04And Antony Newton, the 18-year-old airline and airport operations student for Harrogate,
0:58:04 > 0:58:07becomes Total Wipeout's youngest-ever champion.
0:58:07 > 0:58:08Can I ask what I'm doing?
0:58:08 > 0:58:11You won Total Wipeout, Antony. He still hasn't got this, has he?
0:58:11 > 0:58:15He'll be back though, once we've explained it to him several times,
0:58:15 > 0:58:18along with Alex and Dan for the Total Wipeout final in four weeks' time.
0:58:18 > 0:58:23Anyway, time for Amanda and me to say goodbye, and we'll see you next week on Total Wipeout,
0:58:23 > 0:58:25for quite a lot of this.
0:58:28 > 0:58:29Bye for now!
0:58:31 > 0:58:34Um...can I just ask what I'm doing?
