0:00:02 > 0:00:06The Hubble Space Telescope. The Large Hadron Collider.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Weston-super-Mare's best kept toilet.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14These are all iconic symbols of mankind's greatest achievements.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18But there is one other more impressive,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21more majestic and more cheaper.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Tonight, we bring you the Total Wipeout Awards.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The Total Wipeout Awards.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31There you go. Welcome, one and all.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Welcome, one and all. Is it finished?
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Welcome, one and all, to the Total Wipeout Awards 2011.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Like the Oscars, the Golden Globes,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44the BAFTAs and the DVLA,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48these awards have become a Great British institution.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52No expense has been spared. There's the red carpet...tile.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Fireworks are on stand-by. - ROCKET WHISTLES
0:00:55 > 0:01:00And I even have a golden envelope. It's going to be a special night.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Just look at what's coming up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- # Now I know how to get down on the floor...- Floor!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10# Experienced in moves you can't ignore
0:01:10 > 0:01:14# There's something 'bout this beat that's got me hooked
0:01:14 > 0:01:17# Come over here and take a closer look
0:01:17 > 0:01:21# Cos I can't get enough I can't get enough
0:01:21 > 0:01:25# I can't stay on the ground Whoa!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28# I can't get enough I can't get enough
0:01:28 > 0:01:31# This is taking me now
0:01:31 > 0:01:34# It's taking me higher
0:01:34 > 0:01:36# Higher
0:01:36 > 0:01:39# Higher off the ground
0:01:39 > 0:01:41# It's taking me higher
0:01:41 > 0:01:43# Higher
0:01:43 > 0:01:47# Higher off the ground... #
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Wow! It is amazing what you can fit into an hour of TV.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Time for the first award, the winner of which will be taking home one of these beauties.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02But they'll also be taking home a belt.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07That's because our first prestigious award is for taking one in the "sub-beltular" area.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13You know, the sensitive zone. It probably hurt, but it'll all be worth it when you see the belt.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Wow, that is totally worth getting hit in the sensitive zone for!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Fifth...
0:02:47 > 0:02:54In fifth place, it's Silly Hat Sarah who thought her silly hat would save her. It didn't.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01Maybe if she'd worn some silly, but steel-lined shorts instead.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Fourth...
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Monkey Man "Ooh Ooh" Dave took one for all the bankers out there.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15The credit risk analyst assessed his chances of crossing Mushroom Madness. He took a risk.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18And that was sub-prime!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I love this new game.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Yeah, he definitely got a bum deal there.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Third...
0:03:29 > 0:03:35Third place goes to Josh from Kent who had a little bit of trouble with the Dangleberries.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yeah, I said Dangleberries.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Oh, that was most definitely below the belt.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And so was that.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Yeah, and that.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Your voice has gone all squeaky as well, hasn't it?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52SQUEAKY VOICE: Just a bit. I'll get through it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- You made it, which is brilliant. - DEEP VOICE: Yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Second...
0:03:57 > 0:04:02In second place and just missing out on the belt is Scotsman Rob Roy.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Now, can anyone guess what happened to Roy on the Sucker Punch?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yeah. I felt that.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15# Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low... #
0:04:15 > 0:04:21Oh, right in the bagpipes! I don't think Roy will be doing any Highland Games for a while.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31But the winner of the Total Wipeout Below The Belt Belt is Shabba and His Homies.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35He got his award for multiple below the belt hits.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37There was one on the Sucker Punch.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41A few on Crash Mountain.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43# Mr Loverman... #
0:04:43 > 0:04:47And a cheeky below the belt belter on Mushroom Madness.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53That was unlucky and painful, but congratulations, Shabba.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56That belt is on its way to you unless it gets lost in the post.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01The unforgettable Shabba and His Homies wins the first Total Wipeout Award.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06This course might have wiped me out, but I'm still Mr Loverman...Shabba.
0:05:07 > 0:05:14It's easy to think that all this show does is laugh at people hurting themselves, but that's not the case,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17as this next award proves, the Close But No Cigar Award
0:05:17 > 0:05:21in recognition of those special contestants who so nearly made it.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25What do you think the winner of the Close But No Cigar Award will win?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29That's right, no cigar! Seriously? Yeah, seriously.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41# I get tired and upset
0:05:41 > 0:05:46# There's always something to cry about
0:05:46 > 0:05:48# When you're stuck in an angry crowd
0:05:48 > 0:05:54- # They don't think what they say before they open their mouths - Pack up your troubles... #
0:05:54 > 0:05:56One more time.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59# And bury them beneath the sea
0:05:59 > 0:06:04# I don't care what the people may say
0:06:04 > 0:06:07# What the people may say about me... #
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Fifth...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18In fifth place, it's Phil and his massive tie.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24The bus driver from Derbyshire very nearly made it across the first Traplonka.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29A spectacular nearly moment.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Close, Phil, but no cigar.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Fourth...
0:06:40 > 0:06:46It's 24-year-old veteran gymnast and wannabe stuntwoman Jade from London.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49She's got one sock on and one sock off.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Jade with one sock and no shoe was only five foot two
0:06:52 > 0:06:56and put in a fantastic performance on the Qualifier.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01However, it was the last stunt jump that got her "nul points".
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Here we go.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Agh!
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Oh!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Third...
0:07:12 > 0:07:17In third, maths teacher Shaun from Manchester on the Crazy Keys.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Here Shaun performed a miraculous recovery...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And then dropped like a sack of potatoes.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31I estimate the maths teacher still hasn't heard the end of this from his Year 10s.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Close, but no cigar, Shaun.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Second...
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Second place goes to White Water Siana.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42She started so well...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46But then did just awfully.
0:07:47 > 0:07:54That rake only tips after Siana slips, then it was just downhill from there. Slowly and on her face.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01But the winner has to be Dashing Julian.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05The speedy wildlife vet from Cambridge beat everyone over the Qualifier
0:08:05 > 0:08:08despite doing this on the Balls.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Oh!
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Excruciatingly close and probably just excruciating too.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21Never has a contestant come so close to beating the Balls and gone face first into the foam.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25But it didn't stop there. Julian made it all the way to the Wipeout Zone.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29He made it all the way to the end of the Wipeout Zone.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31And then missed the Button.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33No! No, no, no!
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Yes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38That one simple slip lost him the £10,000 prize.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42You don't get much closer than that to winning...no cigar.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Dashing Julian takes home tonight's second award.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- You fell off when you got to the end!- I was gutted about falling off as I landed so well after the Swing.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57But I like to make it a bit exciting.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01It certainly did make it exciting, but still no cigar.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Anyway, plenty more awards to come.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10The winner of the next award will receive this life-like, plastic, scented, house plant replica.
0:09:14 > 0:09:21It really is a thing of beauty, but keep it out of direct sunlight and away from naked flames and mammals.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Why a house plant? Well, this prize is for the Finest Face Plant.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Is it going to be this literal for every award? It is. It's going to be a long night.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38# First time...
0:09:39 > 0:09:44# Ever I saw your face
0:09:45 > 0:09:49# I saw your face
0:09:51 > 0:09:54# Your face
0:09:57 > 0:09:59# Your face
0:10:00 > 0:10:03# Your face
0:10:04 > 0:10:07# Your face... #
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Fifth...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Remember Catty Davina?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Yeah, well, Davina took a tiny tumble on the Rakes In The Face.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30A bit like sprinting into a brick wall draped in red plastic.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Fourth...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38In fourth, the man called Ivor who was a bus driver
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and a massive fan of neon yellow.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45So what route will Ivor the driver be taking around the course today?
0:10:45 > 0:10:52I'll be taking the straight route all the way. All the way down the course. All the way. All the way.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Yeah, that was no lie. Ivor went straight down the ramp,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59straight over the Catwalk Sweeper...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02and straight into the podium.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08He really couldn't have timed that stumble worse. Right on the chinny-chin-chin!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Third...
0:11:12 > 0:11:20And so third place goes to Pretend Army Trudy. That's a pretend army exercise she's doing.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- Trudy didn't get very far at all before doing that.- Face plant!
0:11:25 > 0:11:30Oh, yeah. That is one bobby-dazzler of a face plant.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Officially!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Second...
0:11:38 > 0:11:44Sheepy Jo was a sheep wrangler from Rutland who tried to wrangle Amanda.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I'm going to wrestle this course like I wrestle my sheep!
0:11:48 > 0:11:54The first half of the Super-Duper Walk of Shame passed without incident, and then this happened.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Ow!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Sha-a-ameful! You see what I...?
0:12:01 > 0:12:07Yeah, I'm dispensing with the no doubt highly anticipated sheep puns in favour of just saying "ow"!
0:12:12 > 0:12:18But the winner is Learned Laurence who used to be a butler to the Queen.
0:12:18 > 0:12:2460-year-old Laurence gave us a face plant on the first Catwalk Sweeper, but that was just a warm-up.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29What Laurence served us with next was monumental and a right royal mess.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Congratulations to Learned Laurence.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Top drawer timing, sublime trajectory,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39wins the King of Face Plants a cheap plastic house plant.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Just keep it away from small animals.
0:12:42 > 0:12:48Some you win, some you lose, but only on this show can you win something for losing,
0:12:48 > 0:12:54or more specifically, getting lost in the mud. It's the award for Outstanding Contribution to Mud.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02It's America's sweetheart - Yankee Doodle David.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09I've been told many times that I lack a filter between my brain and my mouth.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11# America... #
0:13:11 > 0:13:14In 1776, America won its independence.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Today, America's going to win again.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20America may have won its independence,
0:13:20 > 0:13:25but David failed to win his from the Sucker Punch mud pit
0:13:25 > 0:13:27for quite some time.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31David spent a staggering 878 days in the mud
0:13:31 > 0:13:37which, incidentally, is longer than it took Christopher Columbus to sail to America in 1490-something.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That's it, David. Dig deep.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Well, at least that's what it felt like for him.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Incredible dedication and well worth a totally worthless award.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52# From sea
0:13:52 > 0:13:58# To shining sea... #
0:13:58 > 0:14:01He's a big guy with a big heart.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Congratulations, Yankee Doodle David.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14That's not the only one of those I'll be awarding tonight. There might be one or two more.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20There are two. Two more Mud Awards. But it's out of the frying pan and into the fire for this next award.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25By frying pan, I mean mud pit. And for fire, substitute getting really dizzy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Yeah, time for that old family favourite.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35# Upside down
0:14:35 > 0:14:38# Boy, you turn me inside out
0:14:38 > 0:14:40# And round and round
0:14:40 > 0:14:44# Upside down
0:14:44 > 0:14:47# Boy, you turn me inside out
0:14:47 > 0:14:51# And round and round... #
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Third...
0:14:56 > 0:15:03In third, it's sort of Kel who was adamant she could...could... Well, I'm not sure really.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09I've been through this course in my mind a thousand times and Kel Can knows exactly what she's going to do.
0:15:09 > 0:15:15She kept on saying she could. One thing she couldn't do is walk in a straight line after a spin.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Staggering!- Oh, you idiot!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Literally!
0:15:20 > 0:15:26Kel's trajectory was decidedly unorthodox, possibly not helped by the fire hose.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Second...
0:15:29 > 0:15:34In second, Slam Dunk James, the poetry loving student from Chichester.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Plan A, jump high, Plan B, fall small, Plan C, laugh loud
0:15:37 > 0:15:41and Plan D, live tall, as in the end, it's Total Wipeout for us all!
0:15:41 > 0:15:46That was prophetic. I said "prophetic"! It means "good" or something.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51All James had to do was make it over the turntable and on to the Tippy Table Maze.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Instead, he made it off the turntable and on to the Crazy Beams,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59which was completely the wrong course.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Oh, hello!
0:16:00 > 0:16:05Yeah, that's right. James should have been doing the other course.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07What a dizzy dummy!
0:16:12 > 0:16:17But taking the number one spot is a very dizzy rat man called Kevin.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Kevin Masters.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Kevin's a pest controller in case you're wondering what all that was about.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Kevin failed to exterminate the scourge of Dizzy Dummy's discombobulating.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Struggling with a button there...
0:16:31 > 0:16:37And while Andy crosses the finish line, Kevin struggles to stay upright back at the start.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Then Tom finished.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Yes. And still Kevin was struggling with the spinning in his head.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47And the spinning in his stomach.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49James, done.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Kevin, dizzy.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Finally, Ian made it over.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Kevin's still trying so hard.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Poor Kev, one double dizzy loser, which tonight, strangely, also makes him a winner.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Well done, Kevin. Now go and have a nice sit down.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Thanks very much.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Did you find the dizziness pretty difficult?- Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I couldn't cope with that. It took me a little while to focus myself.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Enough of the young bucks falling over. In the interests of equal opportunity broadcasting,
0:17:25 > 0:17:31it's time we saw this great nation's more mature citizens getting humbled by red foam and chipboard.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Time for the Worst Wipeout By A Senior Citizen Award.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Before anyone complains to the BBC, remember they volunteered for this.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42They're old, so they've probably forgotten what happened anyway.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Hey, I'm...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I...
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I'm sorry about this.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Third...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12That's Hard Nut Harry. He knows a thing or two.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17I've never read a book in my life. I were no good at school, couldn't do anything.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19OK, maybe three tops.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24At 60, he had strength and wisdom on his side to tackle the Big Balls.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Clearly hadn't read the Big Ball guidebook either.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31# Don't know much about history
0:18:31 > 0:18:35# Don't know much biology... #
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Aagh!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Second...
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Second goes to Granny McFi, the Penzance dwelling granny aged 44.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Granny McFi's Qualifier started well.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Good pace approaching the Heavy Bag Beam.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Wow! Ow!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00A good wipeout is like a bad wine.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Good legs, but heavy on the nose and a watery finish.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07# I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby... #
0:19:12 > 0:19:16But who could possibly top that to take first?
0:19:16 > 0:19:22You're 59 years of age. You're clearly extremely fit. Do you think you're going to win here today?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25He's retired, he's from Southampton.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30It's Adalat A-Training. Things didn't go well from the off.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35But the Super-Duper Walk Of Shame produced something super and duper. Oh, my!
0:19:40 > 0:19:46Well, if you're going to fall off something, fall off it properly, like you mean it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Adalat, congratulations, old boy, on a sensational senior moment.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Trust me, it's very hard.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03Even young or old. It doesn't make a difference what age you are. It's a very tough course.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09Sometimes in life you need a little bit of encouragement, a little nudge in the right direction.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I'm doing it!
0:20:11 > 0:20:16When it comes to the Big Balls, we have just the device to help the competitors on their way.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Here is the award...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21for Most Motivating Moment.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25If you do that again, seriously, I'm...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Third...
0:20:32 > 0:20:38In third place, it's Kelly-Ish who's Irish in case you hadn't picked that up from what's happening.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42She lingered, wobbled
0:20:42 > 0:20:47and then got catapulted forwards by the Motivator.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49She didn't see that one coming.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- # I'll tell you what - I'll tell you what
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- # What I have found - What I have found
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- # That I'm no fool - That I'm no fool
0:20:58 > 0:21:00# I'm just upside down... #
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Second...
0:21:03 > 0:21:07In second place, aspiring actor Darling Dee
0:21:07 > 0:21:11who, being totally honest, wasn't the fastest on the Qualifier.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15If anyone needed a little motivation to get a move on, it was Dee.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yes, come on.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25With all that dawdling, she's made it easy for the Motivator, though it took its time.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30It had all the time in the world. There was no need to rush.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33It could pick its moment.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35ALARM SOUNDS
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Still, it was worth the wait.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Fear, surprise, anguish.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Dee felt all of that in an instant.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51# I feel it in my fingers... #
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Aagh! Aagh! Aagh!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Aagh!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01# I feel it in my toes... #
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Unfortunately, the bit-part actor won't get any fees for these repeats. Sorry.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20But the Most Motivating Moment Award goes to Under Par Joy.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26The occupational therapist from Derby should have foreseen the dangers of standing still
0:22:26 > 0:22:29at the top of a ramp.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33That's probably why she decided to sit down instead.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35An act of lunacy which resulted in this.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40# My heart goes boom-bang-a-bang, boom-bang-a-bang when you are near
0:22:40 > 0:22:44# Boom-bang-a-bang, boom-bang-a-bang loud in my ear
0:22:44 > 0:22:48# Boom-bang-a-bang, boom-bang-a-bang when you are near... #
0:22:48 > 0:22:50She's probably fine by now.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01I got to the top of the platform and looked at the Balls and thought, "I can't do this."
0:23:01 > 0:23:06I turned round and next thing I'm on top of the first ball and into the water.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12That's what happens when you have concussion. And so to the second of tonight's special awards,
0:23:12 > 0:23:17another instalment of the Outstanding Contribution To Mud Award.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23Who will be joining Yankee Doodle David in the hallowed halls of fame? Can I have a drum roll, please?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28No, that's a jam roll. They don't even sound similar.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32No, it's all right. I'll keep it. No point in wasting good jam.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Carry on.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42# Birds flying high You know how I feel... #
0:23:42 > 0:23:45It's the welcome return of Darling Dee.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49# Sun in the sky You know how I feel... #
0:23:49 > 0:23:55Intent on grabbing her 15 minutes of fame, she pretended to be really bad at getting out of mud.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Hang on. She wasn't pretending, was she?
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- No, this is real. - # You know how I feel... #
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Dee spent longer in there than it takes most people to complete the entire Qualifier
0:24:09 > 0:24:14and Crash Mountain and Dizzy Dummies and possibly the Wipeout Zone
0:24:14 > 0:24:18and go home and tell everyone about what they did.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20# It's a new dawn, it's a new day
0:24:20 > 0:24:23# It's a new life
0:24:23 > 0:24:25# For me... #
0:24:25 > 0:24:30But credit to Dee - she did eventually make it out by herself.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42At which exact point help finally arrived.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47"Better late than never" is the motto of the Total Wipeout lifeguards.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Congratulations, Dee, for another Outstanding Contribution To Mud.
0:24:52 > 0:24:59Being on Total Wipeout is a great test of strength, stamina, ability, agility and flexibility.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yep, I'm talking about this stool.
0:25:01 > 0:25:07Why does it even need to be this high? Would it kill someone to get me a cushion?
0:25:07 > 0:25:11It's not just tough for me. The competitors have it pretty bad too.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14In honour of their flexibility, here's the next award.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Oh, matron!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Fifth...
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Underlay Peter showed us quite how small the human body can get on the Big Balls.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Pocket-sized!
0:25:29 > 0:25:34He's totally lost his head. I think he was a tortoise in a former life.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Fourth...
0:25:37 > 0:25:42Just ahead of Peter is a microbiologist with phenomenal chest hair.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46That's not necessary. It's Chest Hair Charlie.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Charlie found he could move in mysterious ways on the Crazy Keys.
0:25:53 > 0:25:59The Argentinians have a word for this position - "ouch", which translated into English means "oh"!
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Just check out those scissor legs. Good work.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Third...
0:26:06 > 0:26:1358-year-old maths teacher Mohamed earned his nickname Scorpion King Mo after doing this.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Aagh!
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Yeah, just there, look, the scorpion tail. Amanda laughing with fear there.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27In a replay, you can see that it's Mo's automatic response to danger,
0:26:27 > 0:26:32trying to sting the letters with his muddy trainers - deadly!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Second...
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Then there was this delicate young lady who had dreams of marrying a prince.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43It's Wannabe Princess Amy.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49With all the grace and style of a true royal, she managed to cross the Balls elegantly, just like this.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57That was a royal performance.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02And an extraordinary position as her leg actually touched her head.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07If you're watching this, Prince Harry, and you probably are, there is your future wife.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15But the winner is Speedy Gon-Cherry.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19I'm going to be like Speedy Gonzales. Arriba, arriba! Andale, andale!
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Yeah. And like Speedy Gonzales, she was very animated.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Just check out those splits. Great flexibility.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Just like Madonna in one of her videos(!)
0:27:36 > 0:27:39But her extraordinary moves didn't stop there.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43She showed us the full extent of human flexibility on the Big Balls.
0:27:47 > 0:27:53She also managed scorpion legs, but it's for bending her legs both forwards and backwards
0:27:53 > 0:27:57that we give her the award for the Most Extraordinary Position.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Congratulations, Speedy Gon-Cherry.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I definitely showed off my perfect body. Yes, absolutely.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12How many people out there could dander round that course in the style that I did?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15OK, we've had a lot of fun laughing at people falling off things,
0:28:15 > 0:28:21laughing at people holding on to things, and holding on to things, then falling off them.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25But every now and then, there is one person we can't laugh at,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29someone who is so good that there's nothing left to say.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Some call these competitors amazing. Others say they're incredible. I find them annoying.
0:28:34 > 0:28:40But here's the Special Recognition Award for Outstanding Achievement on the Total Wipeout course.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43There is only ever one winner of this award.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Please be upstanding for the winner of the Special Recognition Award, Great Scott.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54And what qualified him for this award?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Records are meant to be broken. Come on!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01That's exactly what he did. Scott became the first person ever
0:29:01 > 0:29:05to break the minute barrier on the Wipeout Zone.
0:29:05 > 0:29:12And you can see why. From a quick start, he tore his way up the Killer Surf, avoiding the Tidal Wave.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15He made the See-Saw look like a... well, a kiddies' see-saw.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19And then there was the Sweeper which he sort of ignored really.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23This guy was making Bruce Willis look like a pansy.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Amanda swooned. The crowd cheered. Shabba looked embarrassed.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Then it was time for the rope swing. A piece of cake.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39His jump was like a step and a new record had been set.
0:29:39 > 0:29:45He had completed the Wipeout Zone in 58 seconds... and totally drenched Amanda.
0:29:45 > 0:29:51Another good reason for his Special Recognition award. Congratulations to Great Scott.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57Now the Total Wipeout course would not be complete without four big red obstacles. So give me a B,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00give me an I, give me a G,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02give me a B, give me a U...
0:30:02 > 0:30:07give me an L...give me an L, give me an S. What does that spell?
0:30:07 > 0:30:12What do you mean "big bulls"? How do YOU spell big balls?
0:30:12 > 0:30:18Oh, an A? That makes sense. Anyway, here's a countdown of some of the greatest big ball moments.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I thought U...
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- # Goodness gracious, great balls... # - Award!
0:30:24 > 0:30:30# I thought it was funny You came along and moved me, honey
0:30:30 > 0:30:33# I've changed my mind This love is fine
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- # Goodness gracious, great balls... # - Award!
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Remember Wholemeal Mark?
0:30:44 > 0:30:49As well as being able to shout, he was and still is a baker's delivery driver.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54And he managed to cook up and deliver this little treat for us.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Aaargh!- Oh!
0:30:59 > 0:31:05Mark took a nasty turn on the balls. Well, about three or four nasty turns, in fact.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Then we had a true, bona fide WAG.
0:31:14 > 0:31:20Well, her bloke plays for Macclesfield. It's a kind of WAG. Kind of WAG Kerry!
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- Are you here to prove to anyone else you can do it?- My boyfriend.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28He thinks I can't. He thinks I'm a wimp.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Ooh!- But Kerry wasn't a wimp.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Needing no motivation, Kerry took one giant leap for a WAG...
0:31:35 > 0:31:39..and one painful plummet for WAG-kind.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43# I wish I was back in Liverpool... #
0:31:43 > 0:31:47She then dropped a couple of leagues under the sea.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50# Where I was born... #
0:31:53 > 0:32:00This dancing man is Precision Ralf. He's German, so he took on the course in a highly efficient manner.
0:32:00 > 0:32:07I hate to buy into stereotypes, but have you put your towel down at the end of the qualifier?
0:32:07 > 0:32:12I was awake at quarter to six to make sure I was prepared.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Wunderbar!
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Come on now!
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Aaaargh!- Oh, yeah. Very efficient.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26And here it is again.
0:32:26 > 0:32:33That really is a beauty, isn't it? A wonderful moment for our German neighbours.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42In seventh place, it's Hatless Martin without his hat. Good job he didn't have a hat.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Hatless Martin there showing us a classic ball crossing.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55And when I say classic ball-crossing, I mean classic piece of ball headbutting.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Oh, in he goes!
0:33:01 > 0:33:05if it isn't my old friend Yankee Doodle David.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10This is for American football! You Brits don't know what real football is!
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Oh, my God! Like, gnarly.
0:33:13 > 0:33:20He may have known how to play American football, but he had no idea
0:33:20 > 0:33:22how to play big red ball.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29An exhausted David finally made it to the top of the ramp.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32What could possibly have gone wrong?
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Aaargh!- The Motivator strikes fear into the hearts of many!
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- Oh, my God! - His lifejacket's eating him!
0:33:42 > 0:33:47If David thinks the sand is scary, he should try being hit by it.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52What a big ball moment.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Splendid stuff.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Aaargh!
0:34:00 > 0:34:05And after all of that, he made a perfect recovery.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Where's his head gone?!
0:34:08 > 0:34:10# America! #
0:34:10 > 0:34:17I was analysing what I needed to do and all of a sudden heard a release. I didn't want hit from behind.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21So I just jumped and prayed for the best.
0:34:21 > 0:34:27The top five greatest balls moments are still to come. Now there are many unanswered questions
0:34:27 > 0:34:33when it comes to Total Wipeout. Why are they dressed like that? Why am I wearing animal slippers?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35See? Monkey.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41I guess we'll never truly know, but in the unflinching quest for answers, I give you
0:34:41 > 0:34:46the What Were You Thinking Award. Here are the nominations.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51There's her, him, her, him,
0:34:51 > 0:34:54her, him, her, her, him,...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I'm going to stop there.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Ooh la la!
0:35:00 > 0:35:03# Wonder Woman
0:35:05 > 0:35:07# Wonder Woman... #
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Neigh!
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Neigh!
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- # You raise me up... # - Ay-ya!
0:35:14 > 0:35:19MUSIC: In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry
0:35:24 > 0:35:26And the winner is...
0:35:26 > 0:35:30All 156 people who took part in this series.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34In fact, it goes out to anyone who signed an application form.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37What were you thinking?!
0:35:37 > 0:35:43On behalf of the BBC and Total Wipeout, we're glad you did. Now time for the next award.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50This is a belly.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Also known as the stomach, the abdomen,
0:35:55 > 0:36:00the tummy. Oh, yeah. They come in all shapes and sizes, have many uses
0:36:00 > 0:36:05like absorbing kinetic energy, especially when falling into water.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Scientifically known as The Belly Flop.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15In third place, it's Trippy Faye.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21Nothing could have prepared her abdomen for this wallop on the big balls.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26They say cats always land on their feet. Faye always lands on her belly.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31See how she rotates for a perfect belly landing?
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- Stephen, what is it that you do? - Lifeguard and swimming instructor.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41Lifeguard Stephen treated us to his Baywatch-esque running.
0:36:41 > 0:36:48- I hope his swimming's better! - He may not be able to run, but he is a champion belly flopper.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55Magnificent. Lifeguard Stephen showing all of his lifeguard skills.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00Terrific belly flop. Here's betting the Hoff can't do that.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04I was trying to think, "Don't drown," and, "Am I bleeding?"
0:37:09 > 0:37:13But the Total Wipeout Biggest Belly Flop trophy goes to this lady.
0:37:13 > 0:37:19- It's May Fiona Be With You. - Aliens exist. I'm absolutely convinced that they exist.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23There's so much evidence. Pyramids all over the world.
0:37:23 > 0:37:31How could they do that without some form of...? Aliens must have visited us at some point.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34It's really not... No, OK.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39Unfortunately, aliens are one thing May Fiona Be With You didn't discover.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44This is going to be just like Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Instead she discovered a whole new world of pain.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50Aaaiieee!
0:37:53 > 0:37:59With all that mud on her face, she became an unidentifiable flying object.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03And like all UFOs she disappeared without a trace.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Wow! What a backwash!
0:38:06 > 0:38:10Congratulations to May Fiona Be With You.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- Thank you very much. - It's a pleasure. Really.
0:38:14 > 0:38:21But it's not all hilarious comedy belly flops. Total Wipeout is a serious sports competition
0:38:21 > 0:38:23and people will do anything to win.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29Butler Maz-ter of Ceremonies suavely pulled Sybille off Crash Mountain.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35And who could forget Dashing Julian heroically clambering over Dilip
0:38:35 > 0:38:40to become a Dizzy Dummies finisher? Such sportsmanship!
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Or not.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47And while I commend that behaviour as a good way of winning,
0:38:47 > 0:38:53I'd also like to recognise those who put others before themselves with true sportsmanlike behaviour.
0:38:53 > 0:39:01Even if it is less funny to watch. It's the Really, Really Nice Award for being really, really nice.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Does this take long?
0:39:08 > 0:39:13The winner of this Really, Really Nice Award is Personality Ruth
0:39:13 > 0:39:19who helped pull Frankie Incredible through to the next round of Dizzy Dummies.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23So beautiful, so honourable.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25So touching.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32Sadly, however, Frankie didn't return the favour and beat Personality Ruth in the next round.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36That's what I call a chick helping a sister out!
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Still, at least she picked up an award. Congratulations, Ruth.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47That's enough of people being nice. Let's get back to the good stuff.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I've been looking forward to this. All clear on the floor? Here we go.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Three, two, one, it's...
0:39:57 > 0:39:59The Big Bang Award.
0:40:03 > 0:40:04Aaargh!
0:40:08 > 0:40:12In reverse order, taking fifth is Prince Ndubisi.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17This African prince made a right royal stuff-up of the keys.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Oh!
0:40:19 > 0:40:22That is quite something.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30His Majesty has been dethroned by some hinged foam rubber planks.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Ouch!
0:40:39 > 0:40:47- You're not just blonde and bubbly and all smiles?- I am. I'm a girlie girl, love my lip gloss.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Hate getting my hair wet. I'm just girlie.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53It's going to be a bumpy ride!
0:40:53 > 0:41:01She wasn't wrong there. In fourth place, it's Airhead Charlotte, the 20-year-old air stewardess.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07It all started quite sedately on Crash Mountain... until Charlotte tried to stand up.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11A knock to her head and a massive knock to the ribs.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17Charlotte's used to being airborne, but not as abruptly as this.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23The air stewardess suffering a little turbulence there.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Now you see her...now you don't.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29I'd rather crash in an aeroplane. That was painful.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Representing Australia, it's Cam-garoo!
0:41:36 > 0:41:42Australians are, on the whole, pretty sporty, so Cam was a favourite to get through here.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45But, instead, Cam did this.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55- Flaming galiah! - It's pronounced "galah", Amanda.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Oh, by the way - ow!
0:42:03 > 0:42:10Runner-up is football-playing centre back Laura, who might be used to a few knocks on the pitch
0:42:10 > 0:42:13but she wasn't prepared for that.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Bam! That really is one big bang!
0:42:24 > 0:42:30But in first place is Jiggedy Biggedy Ali who eats imaginary kebabs to build his guns up.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Why, I don't know.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37It didn't seem to help him out in Crash Mountain, though.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Jiggedy Biggedy's on!
0:42:39 > 0:42:45Before he could even digest he was given a right old winding from that giant spoon!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Oh, bash!
0:42:47 > 0:42:51Had the halloumi knocked right out of him.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55A full 360-degree human spin and crash.
0:43:00 > 0:43:06Should have eaten porridge instead. Congratulations, Jiggedy Biggedy Ali.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I was like more jiggedy biggedy smack.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14And then splash, actually.
0:43:14 > 0:43:20OK, time for me to admit something. You know that bit where I talk off to the side, like this?
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Well, there's nobody there. I'm completely alone in here.
0:43:24 > 0:43:29The only other thing here is this mop head. That's who I talk to.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Don't I, Mr Mop Head?
0:43:32 > 0:43:36Ha ha! You're so right! He always cheers me up.
0:43:36 > 0:43:43Anyway, on with the awards. Here's the final winner of the Outstanding Contribution to Mud.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45He's happy.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Remember May Fiona Be With You?
0:43:54 > 0:43:56Well, she's back and muddy.
0:43:58 > 0:44:03She's going boldly where no one's ever gone before,
0:44:03 > 0:44:06seeking out new worlds,
0:44:06 > 0:44:10but all she found was a mouthful of muck...and this.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14It's a rope!
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Yep.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18That's a rope, Fiona.
0:44:19 > 0:44:24The mud tastes dreadful. Do not go into it. It's horrible.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28Congratulations, Fiona, on a second award.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33This next award is for those spatially-challenged competitors
0:44:33 > 0:44:39whose runs are marred by unfortunate accidents. Basically, the clumsy people.
0:44:39 > 0:44:44I feel for them. I don't suffer from clumsiness at all.
0:44:44 > 0:44:50I'm off to have a run with these scissors. It's the Humpty Numpty Award.
0:45:17 > 0:45:22In fifth place, it's Sonny Side Up. He might have tackled the qualifier,
0:45:22 > 0:45:28but it was the stairs to the finish that finally finished him. What a great Humpty Numpty.
0:45:28 > 0:45:33It's the hardest thing I've ever done. It was incredibly bad.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Those stairs are incredibly tough.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42In fourth place is Smoking Jo from Cheltenham.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46Fire! Fire! I'll extinguish this course!
0:45:46 > 0:45:52As a fire-fighter and part-time window cleaner, you'd think she'd be handy with ladders.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55She wasn't. What a Humpty Numpty.
0:45:58 > 0:46:04Andale Pete was the first contestant to be flummoxed by the Velcro on the swing thing.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16Humpty Numpty had a great splash.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24In at two, it's Trippy Faye, so called for two reasons.
0:46:24 > 0:46:31She had a tendency to trip quite a lot and she had Faye written on her bottom.
0:46:31 > 0:46:32Oh!
0:46:33 > 0:46:37A name to remember, a performance to forget.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40Another Humpty Numpty. Sorry.
0:46:42 > 0:46:45You kind of fell off everything.
0:46:45 > 0:46:51Yeah, I thought that. I've not done very well on anything so far. But I tried!
0:46:55 > 0:47:00The clumsiest Humpty Numpty by far was this man.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Not for doing that. That was impressive.
0:47:04 > 0:47:10Unfortunately, this ferocious Tinku warrior dancer wasn't as smooth when crossing
0:47:10 > 0:47:14the swinging letters of SH. He made it past the S.
0:47:14 > 0:47:19Ooh. Took a few knocks, then went for the big finish.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23And missed!
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Technically, it's not an obstacle!
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Mani overshot the end, bounced down the steps
0:47:31 > 0:47:33and landed in the water.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38This Humpty Numpty definitely had a big fall. Congratulations, Mani!
0:47:41 > 0:47:45That was very Tinku warrior-like. Very much indeed.
0:47:45 > 0:47:50I think my instincts took over me, but I am happy, very happy.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54So am I! And so is Mr Mop Head. Aren't you?
0:47:55 > 0:48:00Now it's the time you've all been waiting for. Is it the end already?
0:48:00 > 0:48:04No? It's not the end. Apparently, it's something even better.
0:48:04 > 0:48:09It's the award I get to pick. Not only does the winner get the trophy,
0:48:09 > 0:48:13they also get a unique Hammond hamper. There's some Hammond jam,
0:48:13 > 0:48:19a can of Hammond ham, home-grown Hammond yam...
0:48:19 > 0:48:24and what's that? That's a Hammond...
0:48:25 > 0:48:31It doesn't rhyme. It's a mug with my face on it. Who is the lucky recipient?
0:48:39 > 0:48:41I love this guy.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45Chris the Beaver. The assistant Beaver leader.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51I'm always prepared, but is this course prepared for me?
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Nobody was prepared for you, Chris. Oh, yeah.
0:48:57 > 0:49:02Chris didn't earn any badges on the heavy bags. No.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06He got punched right in the ging gang goolies on the sucker punch.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12And lost his woggle on the big balls.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19But Chris the Beaver came good on the big swing thing.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23After all, why else would he be winning this award?
0:49:23 > 0:49:27- Aargh!- Don't know. No, he fell off that, too.
0:49:27 > 0:49:32But despite falling off every obstacle, Chris did his best.
0:49:32 > 0:49:37He did his duty, he scraped through and helped an old lady across Crash Mountain.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Well, I made that up.
0:49:40 > 0:49:45But what a great achievement, a great guy and a great Beaver.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48He wins because he's my hero!
0:49:48 > 0:49:52Congratulations, Chris the Beaver. Well deserved.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Just be prepared, work hard
0:49:56 > 0:49:59and then maybe in the future you can do this, too.
0:49:59 > 0:50:04That very special hamper is on its way to you, Chris. It is.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08We're legally obliged now. That'll have gone off.
0:50:08 > 0:50:13Earlier on, you saw the bottom five of the Goodness Gracious Great Balls Award
0:50:13 > 0:50:20for contestants who went above and beyond and behind and under and to the side of the big balls.
0:50:20 > 0:50:25Hold on to your hats. Here comes the inevitable Top Five.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31In fifth place, it's DJ Tred.
0:50:31 > 0:50:37He may have looked a bit girlie, but he was no big girl's blouse when it came to the big balls.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Spectacular wipeout!
0:50:41 > 0:50:44I think he just scratched the deck.
0:50:44 > 0:50:49Here's a quick extended remix of dainty Tred's wipeout there.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Awesome stuff. Worthy fifth place.
0:51:01 > 0:51:07Fourth place goes to Slam Dunk James, who came second in the Dizziest Dummies Award.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10But what was his approach to the balls?
0:51:10 > 0:51:12- Well...- Wa-hey!
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Unique, to say the least!
0:51:17 > 0:51:20He's like a clown! "Wa-hey!" Wa-hey-hey!
0:51:20 > 0:51:25Full of poise, promise and mirth in just the right proportions.
0:51:25 > 0:51:29On to the big guns now. The top three.
0:51:29 > 0:51:36- I think it's OK to fail. - This 30-year-old Glaswegian's nickname was Motormouth Pete.
0:51:36 > 0:51:41They've fear of failure even though they might succeed...
0:51:41 > 0:51:45- I can't for the life of me remember why.- I...
0:51:45 > 0:51:50- Opportunities come up...- Maybe he motored over the big balls? No.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52You might not get a chance again.
0:51:55 > 0:52:00Motormouth Pete gave himself a good run up.
0:52:00 > 0:52:04- And then a spectacular misfire. - Whoo!
0:52:07 > 0:52:12Great stuff there from Motormouth Pete.
0:52:15 > 0:52:20Now remember Personality Ruth who helped Frankie earlier?
0:52:20 > 0:52:26Well, she also did this on the big red balls. One, two, mid-air flip. Three and four!
0:52:26 > 0:52:32- Hang on! Hang on!- Let me just repeat that - mid-air flip and...fall.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35Fall it turned into. Bad luck.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39Extraordinary acrobatics there.
0:52:39 > 0:52:45We have rarely seen that on the big balls. She came within spitting distance of greatness,
0:52:45 > 0:52:49but then got a mouthful of bog water.
0:52:53 > 0:53:00But the winner of the Goodness Gracious great Balls Award is this lady - Creepy Crawly Rachel.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04- Do ladybugs pee on you?- They can, but that's not important right now.
0:53:04 > 0:53:08- Rachel avoided the motivator... - Like a little ladybug.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11She made it to the second ball.
0:53:14 > 0:53:19Things were going well for Rachel. She made it into the third ball.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21You know what happened next?
0:53:22 > 0:53:26She made it onto the fourth ball. What could possibly go wrong?
0:53:29 > 0:53:36- That.- She's going to bend in half! - That has literally never happened before.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Ever.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44A true big ball pioneer. Well done, Rachel.
0:53:50 > 0:53:56I just couldn't get to the end. I was stuck there like this, but it was never going to happen.
0:53:56 > 0:54:00I wasn't going anywhere but down.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04This show's not all about gallant failure. Oh, no.
0:54:04 > 0:54:10There are rare moments when contestants actually succeed, be it through training, judgment
0:54:10 > 0:54:17or, more often, some sort of fluke. But nowhere is the can do spirit more evident than on the big balls.
0:54:17 > 0:54:21Anyone who manages to cross those is a real winner.
0:54:21 > 0:54:26Ball crossers, I salute you. ..I'm not going to actually salute you.
0:54:27 > 0:54:32Chicken Leg Liam - there was nothing chicken about this effort.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35That's it, Liam. Nearly there.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44Katie Who I Was Scared Of, not so scared of the big balls.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52Then there was Modest Mikey. Nothing modest about it. That's showing off.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55But showing off very well.
0:54:58 > 0:55:04Frankie looked like she was in trouble, but she wasn't. That's why she's Frankie Incredible.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09Nanny McFit had a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12I don't know what that means.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14But she did it and she crossed.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17Great Scott, well...great Scott.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20This guy broke records and the big red balls.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27Slam Dunk James returned to prove he was no clown.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29Fantastic technique.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34Remember Fran? Well, look at this.
0:55:34 > 0:55:36That's why she's Frantastic!
0:55:40 > 0:55:45And who could forget Wiggly Wiggly Andy who surprised us first time
0:55:45 > 0:55:50but we didn't expect this. He returned in the series finale
0:55:50 > 0:55:52and did it again.
0:55:52 > 0:55:59- Andy is clinging on for dear life. - The only person ever to cross the big balls twice.
0:56:01 > 0:56:06- Aaargh!- So we'll do him a favour and forget about that bit. Sorry.
0:56:06 > 0:56:12Now it's time for the big one, the prestigious Best Total Wipeout Presenter Award.
0:56:12 > 0:56:16I'm hopeful about this one. Right, the nominees are...
0:56:16 > 0:56:19Richard Hammond.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Amanda Byram.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Mr Mop Head. Aww.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26And...Huw Edwards?!
0:56:26 > 0:56:29What? Maybe I missed that episode.
0:56:29 > 0:56:36Well, here goes. Fingers crossed. And the winner is... Drum roll, please. No?
0:56:37 > 0:56:39It's Mr Mop Head!
0:56:39 > 0:56:44Oh, congratulations. You really deserve it.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46You want to say a few words? OK.
0:56:56 > 0:57:01Oh, that is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said.
0:57:01 > 0:57:07So for this series, from Amanda, me and the award-winning mop, it's goodbye!
0:57:11 > 0:57:13# Some things in life are bad
0:57:14 > 0:57:18# They can really make you mad
