Buenos Aires, home to Argentina's finest wines,

0:00:020:00:04

Argentina's finest steaks,

0:00:040:00:06

and, of course, Argentina's finest, and, er, only, Total Wipeout course!

0:00:060:00:10

20 of Britain finest and most upstandingest citizens,

0:00:100:00:14

including a cheerleader, a former wrestler and a microbiologist,

0:00:140:00:18

have journeyed from afar to take on the Total Wipeout course.

0:00:180:00:21

19 of them will crash and burn,

0:00:210:00:23

but one will emerge victorious like a phoenix from the flames...

0:00:230:00:27

well, a grilled chicken... to walk away with £10,000.

0:00:270:00:30

Let the games begin!

0:00:300:00:32

Welcome once again to Total Wipeout.

0:00:350:00:38

And there's a very special atmosphere in here because... drum roll, please!

0:00:380:00:42

-DRUM ROLL

-..this is no ordinary edition!

0:00:420:00:46

What? This is an ordinary edition?

0:00:460:00:49

Oh, I must have misread that e-mail.

0:00:490:00:51

Ooh...

0:00:520:00:53

Atmosphere's kind of turned in here.

0:00:530:00:56

Never mind, I'll crack on! What's in store today?

0:00:560:00:58

The Qualifier sorts the wheat from the chaff!

0:00:590:01:02

Crash Mountain sorts the chaff from the other chaff.

0:01:020:01:06

Dizzy Dummies spins the chaff around and makes the chaff sick.

0:01:060:01:09

And finally the Wipeout Zone... Chaffin' heck, it's scary!

0:01:090:01:13

So the course is ready, the contestants are ready, Amanda Byram's ready,

0:01:150:01:19

my dinner's ready...

0:01:190:01:20

I'm not eating that broccoli!

0:01:200:01:22

Right, it's over to the course where Amanda is waiting with the first contestant.

0:01:220:01:25

This is 18-year-old man mountain Syed from Bangladesh...

0:01:310:01:36

via Birmingham.

0:01:360:01:37

-You're not exactly the biggest chap we've ever had on the Qualifier, Syed!

-Maybe not,

0:01:370:01:43

but I don't think size matters. I've got speed. I've got speed. Speed's everything.

0:01:430:01:46

I'm Syed and I'm going to show you how it's done!

0:01:460:01:49

Yeah, OK, go on then! How's it done?

0:01:490:01:52

Yes... Oh?

0:01:520:01:54

That's how it's done? Got you!

0:01:540:01:56

Well, he's down the slide.

0:01:560:01:58

Syed's out of the water nice and quickly,

0:01:580:02:00

and now flying across the pontoons,

0:02:000:02:02

heading straight for the first obstacle.

0:02:020:02:04

It's the Crazy Keys,

0:02:040:02:06

and like everything on the Total Wipeout course

0:02:060:02:08

it's all about getting from the start to the end,

0:02:080:02:12

avoiding the water below and these planks

0:02:120:02:14

that can smash into your face like this.

0:02:140:02:16

But, surely, he's so light, he'll barely tickle those ivories?

0:02:160:02:20

Oh, no, no!

0:02:200:02:22

Still, doesn't matter, up you get.

0:02:240:02:26

Maybe he'll have more luck on the second set.

0:02:260:02:28

Come on, Syed!

0:02:280:02:30

Oh, nearly! Yes...

0:02:300:02:32

Yes, he makes it across the second set of Crazy Keys!

0:02:360:02:40

Well done, Syed!

0:02:400:02:41

Next, he faces the Sucker Punch,

0:02:410:02:43

a wall of relentless mechanical boxing gloves!

0:02:430:02:46

Is he man enough to defeat them?

0:02:460:02:48

-Well, apparently not, no!

-The Sucker Punch

0:02:500:02:53

has just punched one of his brain cells out.

0:02:530:02:56

Looks like he's got two for the price of one there.

0:02:560:02:59

No extra charge!

0:02:590:03:01

Next up for our man mountain,

0:03:020:03:04

it's a modern-day version of David versus Goliath...

0:03:040:03:07

it's little Syed versus the Big Red Balls!

0:03:070:03:11

Some try to go over them,

0:03:110:03:13

some try to go under them,

0:03:130:03:15

and some ever try to go through them...the fools!

0:03:150:03:19

Just look at the aggression on his little face now! He really means business!

0:03:190:03:23

Can he do the double and make it across the Big Red Balls too?

0:03:230:03:26

Come on, Syed!

0:03:260:03:27

Ow! No...!

0:03:290:03:30

I thought it was too much to ask!

0:03:300:03:32

Man-mountain Syed only succeeds in launching himself into the water.

0:03:320:03:37

Climbing up on the molecules now on to the ladder,

0:03:370:03:40

Syed has flown round the Qualifier so far,

0:03:400:03:42

but now faces a new addition to the Total Wipeout course.

0:03:420:03:46

Nobody quite knows what they are...

0:03:470:03:49

Some think they might be an ancient astrological chart,

0:03:490:03:52

while others suspect they may form part of a medieval calendar...

0:03:520:03:56

To me, they look like a load of tyres wrapped in a bunch of colourful plastic...

0:03:560:04:00

so what are we calling this? It's the...what? The Ring-A-Dings?

0:04:000:04:03

Honestly, I've seen pre-school toys with scarier names than that!

0:04:030:04:08

Introducing the Ring-A-Dings!

0:04:080:04:10

Just 11 colourful hoops to go now for Syed...

0:04:110:04:15

Correction! Just a swim and some stairs to go now for Syed!

0:04:150:04:18

Man-mountain Syed gets round the course

0:04:180:04:21

as fast as his little legs will carry him!

0:04:210:04:23

In 2 minutes and 59 seconds.

0:04:230:04:25

Bangladesh!

0:04:250:04:27

Bangladesh to you too, Syed!

0:04:270:04:28

Next to go and no doubt inspired by Syed's exploits

0:04:290:04:32

is 35-year-old childminder Rachel from Derbyshire who is ever-so slightly excited

0:04:320:04:37

about taking on the Qualifier!

0:04:370:04:39

-Oh, I'm so excited!

-Never?

0:04:390:04:42

# I'm so excited

0:04:420:04:43

# And I just can't hide it... #

0:04:430:04:46

You're going down, baby!

0:04:470:04:49

OK. Rachel launches herself...

0:04:500:04:52

gradually...and then a little bit quicker...that's gravity for you!

0:04:520:04:55

Helpful!

0:04:550:04:56

Not so excited now, I'll warrant!

0:04:560:04:59

OK, climbing out of the water with all the grace of a... graceless thing...

0:05:000:05:04

Strange, all of a sudden, excitable Rachel isn't as excited as she used to be!

0:05:040:05:10

How many Crazy Keys will Rachel get across?

0:05:100:05:13

One. One...

0:05:130:05:15

She crossed one key.

0:05:150:05:16

Talking of one key, I bet she's feeling a little bit "wonky" now!

0:05:160:05:21

I promise, no more like that, I'll stop.

0:05:210:05:23

Excitable Rachel on the Big Red Balls!

0:05:230:05:26

Quick, the Motivator's in motion!

0:05:260:05:28

To be fair, the click of the Motivator being released

0:05:300:05:33

is enough to scare anyone into a futile and ill-judged jump...

0:05:330:05:37

which that was.

0:05:370:05:38

# You wash your face in my sink You wash your face in my sink... #

0:05:410:05:44

It seems to me like Rachel's having a leisurely fun day out.

0:05:440:05:47

-Rachel's developed her own Ring-A-Ding technique, eh?

-Does she know that it's against the clock?

0:05:470:05:52

I don't know. There isn't a clock fitted.

0:05:520:05:55

Rachel really needs to get a move on,

0:05:550:05:56

as, remember, only the fastest 12 contestants round the Qualifier

0:05:560:05:59

progress to the next round of the show. That isn't helping.

0:05:590:06:03

That means you've to get across the rings, Rachel!

0:06:030:06:05

# Like a puppet on a...

0:06:070:06:08

# String! #

0:06:110:06:12

Finally Rachel completes the Qualifier

0:06:120:06:14

in a not-so-exciting 7 minutes and 15 seconds.

0:06:140:06:16

Whoo!

0:06:160:06:17

I love you!

0:06:190:06:21

Yeah, and I love you too, Rachel!

0:06:210:06:23

And now a very proud moment for me.

0:06:230:06:25

After years of pestering the Total Wipeout big cheeses, they've done it.

0:06:250:06:29

They've finally got Royalty on the show.

0:06:290:06:32

Yep, the next competitor is a real bone fide African prince!

0:06:320:06:36

Because his uncle is king of his village.

0:06:360:06:38

Hang on! Why am I not king of my village? In fact, who is king of my village?

0:06:380:06:43

Oh, yeah...

0:06:430:06:44

Roger.

0:06:440:06:46

Anyway, back to it! All hail Prince Ndubisi...

0:06:460:06:49

..from Shepherds Bush!

0:06:500:06:52

-So how are Charles and Camilla doing?

-Well, I'm not that kind of prince. I'm a prince from Nigeria.

0:06:540:06:59

-So I'm assuming you've got, like, butlers and stuff?

-Well, I've got butlers, I've got drivers,

0:06:590:07:03

I've got cooks, I've got the whole works.

0:07:030:07:06

I'm going to be your Total Wipeout prince!

0:07:060:07:08

Yeah!

0:07:080:07:10

HOOTER

0:07:100:07:11

Ndubisi's off!

0:07:110:07:12

That's ridiculous! That's clearly not going to work, is it?

0:07:120:07:15

Nobody to lift him out the water. He did that himself.

0:07:170:07:20

On to the Crazy Keys!

0:07:200:07:21

Oh!

0:07:210:07:22

Those foaming keys really should show him some more respect.

0:07:220:07:25

He is royalty after all, don't you know?

0:07:250:07:26

If you've got a butler, why would you do this?

0:07:260:07:30

His Highness!

0:07:300:07:32

I know what's coming!

0:07:340:07:36

His Lowness!

0:07:360:07:37

Yeah, I knew she was going to say that.

0:07:370:07:39

If this happened to Ndubisi in his own kingdom,

0:07:400:07:42

I'm sure one of his courtiers would help him down.

0:07:420:07:45

Sadly, they're nowhere in sight. Must be back in Shepherds Bush!

0:07:450:07:48

Up next, it's 29-year-old Charlie from Croydon.

0:07:510:07:54

And there's something not quite right about him.

0:07:540:07:56

-Charlie, what is it you do?

-I'm a microbiologist, Amanda.

0:07:560:08:00

So I work with bacteria every day.

0:08:000:08:01

-I have a dark secret.

-Really?

0:08:010:08:04

Aaargh!

0:08:060:08:07

That's what's not quite right about him!

0:08:070:08:09

-Sorry about that. You need a little lie-down now after that?

-I might just do.

0:08:090:08:13

-I'm going to lie down. You go conquer that!

-Come on, I'm ready! Let's do it!

0:08:130:08:17

I'm putting this course to the test in the name of science

0:08:180:08:21

for all the hairy men out there...

0:08:210:08:23

-and women!

-Don't mention Amanda's armpits!

0:08:230:08:26

Right, Charlie's off!

0:08:260:08:28

Oh, that chest hair must be waterlogged by now!

0:08:280:08:30

Maybe it helps! I don't know, he'll be warm...like a seal.

0:08:300:08:33

Charlie gets to his feet and charges towards the Crazy Keys.

0:08:330:08:36

As a scientist, Charlie knows of course, that what isn't held up

0:08:360:08:39

must come down!

0:08:390:08:41

That was Newton, wasn't it? Did he say that?

0:08:410:08:43

I'm no boffin, but even I know that head plus plastic-covered plank...

0:08:430:08:46

equals ouch!

0:08:460:08:48

On the plus side, I imagine, the water contains a lot of microbiology for Charlie to examine.

0:08:480:08:53

Oh, no!

0:08:550:08:56

Trying to hang on and failing!

0:08:560:08:58

He'll have a lot of microbiology in his trainers by now!

0:08:580:09:01

And Charlie faces the obstacle

0:09:010:09:03

that strikes fear into the hearts of hairy-chested scientists

0:09:030:09:06

the world over! Which strategy will he go for?

0:09:060:09:08

Will he be "hair" today, gone tomorrow?

0:09:080:09:11

Oh, no!

0:09:130:09:15

He's adopted the tripping and plummeting approach! That should put hairs on his chest!

0:09:150:09:18

Not that there's room, really!

0:09:180:09:20

Imagine how long it takes him to dry off afterwards! Does he use a dryer? A towel? I don't know!

0:09:220:09:27

Jet engine?

0:09:270:09:28

Finally it's the Ring-A-Dings!

0:09:280:09:30

Charlie should feel right at home here

0:09:300:09:32

like he's swinging from vine to vine, you see?

0:09:320:09:35

He's off!

0:09:350:09:36

Oh-oh, he's back again!

0:09:360:09:38

And he's off again!

0:09:380:09:39

And he's back again.

0:09:390:09:41

There we go!

0:09:410:09:43

Oh!

0:09:430:09:45

He must weight like a ton now, all waterlogged !

0:09:460:09:48

But Charlie and his chest hair complete the course

0:09:480:09:51

in a respectable 3 minutes 32 seconds.

0:09:510:09:52

# I wanna walk like you... #

0:09:520:09:54

SQUEALING: It's not easy!

0:09:540:09:55

Like a man voiced by a lady!

0:09:550:09:57

Tell me about your chest hair. Did it weigh you down at all?

0:09:570:09:59

Yeah, I did feel a bit of drag, actually!

0:09:590:10:02

That's enough from you, monkey boy!

0:10:020:10:04

Meanwhile, it's all been a bit too much for Ndubisi,

0:10:040:10:07

who appears to be having a royal sleep.

0:10:070:10:09

Wake up!

0:10:090:10:11

Oh, the great man stirs...

0:10:120:10:13

..and falls! Now I feel bad, like I actually did that!

0:10:140:10:18

Those Ring-A-Dings really are proving difficult...

0:10:180:10:21

silly, but difficult.

0:10:210:10:23

A true royal variety performance there from Ndubisi

0:10:230:10:25

who finishes with the princely time of 6 minutes 10 seconds.

0:10:250:10:29

Does that get the royal seal of approval?

0:10:290:10:31

Yes, yes, yes. Now, where are those fish?

0:10:310:10:35

Give me strength! To think I turned down Panorama for this!

0:10:350:10:39

Now, this is 24-year-old Cherry, a modern languages teacher from Belfast.

0:10:390:10:43

I'm going to be like Speedy Gonzales!

0:10:430:10:45

Arriba, arriba! Andale, andale! HOOTER

0:10:450:10:48

Is that a modern language?

0:10:480:10:50

Right, Speedy Gon-Cherry sped into her face there...

0:10:500:10:53

on the pontoons.

0:10:530:10:55

She's off, nothing can stop her...

0:10:550:10:57

apart from that. That did stop her.

0:10:570:10:59

# Speedy Gonzales... #

0:10:590:11:01

Yeah, her face is taking some punishment already!

0:11:010:11:04

Right, after a slow start she needs to be quick, she needs to be fast...

0:11:060:11:09

And now she needs to get out of that mud.

0:11:100:11:12

The mud really causing Cherry problems here.

0:11:140:11:16

She's trying to, what? Drink it all? Or...?

0:11:180:11:22

Can anyone help her? Anyone?

0:11:220:11:24

Anyone?

0:11:240:11:26

Anyone?

0:11:280:11:29

-TRUMPET BLAST

-Ooh, that sounds promising!

0:11:290:11:31

My name's Ollie and I'm no wally!

0:11:320:11:34

CREAKING

0:11:340:11:36

-What are you going to be out there today?

-I'm going to be a cross between Alfie Moon,

0:11:360:11:39

a ninja and just someone who's really good at doing Total Wipeout!

0:11:390:11:43

Well, good. Don't worry, Cherry, no-wally Ollie is on his way!

0:11:430:11:47

Some ninja-like jumping there!

0:11:470:11:49

And now some Alfie moon-like running!

0:11:490:11:52

On to the keys!

0:11:520:11:53

Quickstepping technique proves...

0:11:530:11:56

ineffective!

0:11:560:11:57

For one moment, I thought it would work.

0:11:570:12:00

He flew like Superman, then fell like a normal bloke!

0:12:000:12:03

Oh! Oh, I'm so wet!

0:12:040:12:07

Not the most heroic of squeaking noises. I hope Cherry didn't hear it.

0:12:070:12:10

No...

0:12:100:12:11

Too much mud in her ears. Still waiting for rescue!

0:12:110:12:14

Ollie the non-wally tries the Big Balls!

0:12:140:12:17

Honest, he did look like a bit of a wally there!

0:12:180:12:20

Even heroes need to go forwards on the Big Red Balls,

0:12:210:12:24

not just upwards, sideways and downwards and splash!

0:12:240:12:27

Right, this looks promising!

0:12:270:12:29

A confident ninja-like jump on to the red Ring-A-Ding.

0:12:290:12:33

Could he be the first person...?

0:12:330:12:34

No...disappointing.

0:12:350:12:37

# And they say that a hero can save us... #

0:12:370:12:40

21-year-old student no-wally Ollie finishes the course

0:12:400:12:43

in 3 minutes and 3 seconds! Quite impressive,

0:12:430:12:46

And even more impressive is he managed to save Cherry...

0:12:460:12:49

No, wait a minute! He forgot to save Cherry!

0:12:490:12:51

What a wally!

0:12:510:12:53

Cherry, bad news, I'm afraid.

0:12:530:12:54

No-wally Ollie has forgotten about you and this is, well, awkward!

0:12:540:12:58

But, fear not, Speedy Gon-Cherry can rely on her cat-like agility

0:12:580:13:02

to get over the Big Red...

0:13:020:13:04

Oh!

0:13:040:13:05

Oh, well!

0:13:050:13:06

But Cherry does utilise her incredible muscular flexibility!

0:13:080:13:11

Look, her feet there, kicking the back of her own head!

0:13:110:13:14

That's difficult!

0:13:140:13:16

Speedy Gon-Cherry finally completes the course in 6 minutes 16 seconds.

0:13:160:13:20

A real, live Mexican mouse would have been quicker than that!

0:13:200:13:25

But there are still 14 contestants to run, so it's time to crack on!

0:13:410:13:46

So far today it's Qualifier 8, contestants 0.

0:13:460:13:50

What we need is someone to teach that course a jolly good lesson,

0:13:500:13:53

and who better than today's next contender, 25-year-old Shaun from Manchester

0:13:530:13:58

who's a maths teacher?

0:13:580:14:00

Me plus Wipeout equals...winner!

0:14:000:14:04

Yeah, we'll be the judge of that, Shaun, if you don't mind!

0:14:040:14:06

Shaun plus slippery slope

0:14:060:14:08

equals a big splash! There you go!

0:14:080:14:10

Shaun now needs to formulate the ultimate solution

0:14:140:14:16

to beat the Crazy Keys. Has he got his calculations right?

0:14:160:14:18

Ooh, so far so good! Lucky escape for Shaun, but he's still on!

0:14:180:14:22

Looks like he's done his homework here!

0:14:220:14:24

Ho-ho! Maybe not!

0:14:240:14:26

Let's see that one again!

0:14:260:14:28

Yeah, got his working wrong there!

0:14:280:14:30

Getting an F-minus for that!

0:14:300:14:31

Shaun plus Crazy Keys equals

0:14:310:14:34

pain for Shaun!

0:14:340:14:36

His school report so far reads "must try harder"!

0:14:360:14:39

Shaun on the Big Red Balls!

0:14:390:14:41

He jumps he bounces...he splashes.

0:14:410:14:43

He taught those Big Red Balls a lesson!

0:14:430:14:46

So can Shaun be the first to traverse the Ring-A-Dings?

0:14:470:14:50

11 colourful hoops plus a 15-foot drop!

0:14:500:14:52

You do the maths... or math, as the Americans say.

0:14:520:14:56

Why do they say that?

0:14:560:14:57

It's maths. Not doing too well by the looks of things.

0:14:570:15:00

No...

0:15:000:15:01

No.

0:15:010:15:03

So maths teacher Shaun finished in 4 minutes 7 seconds,

0:15:030:15:07

minus his dignity!

0:15:070:15:09

So, Shaun...

0:15:090:15:11

plus the Qualifier now equals...

0:15:110:15:15

Knackered!

0:15:150:15:16

Shaun isn't the only teacher who's found the time to come to Argentina today.

0:15:180:15:21

Must be the school holidays.

0:15:210:15:23

Let's meet his rivals for title of teacher's pet.

0:15:230:15:26

PE teacher Emily from London.

0:15:260:15:28

Kids, do as I say not as I do!

0:15:280:15:30

And all stand, please, class, it's head teacher, Jeremy from Norfolk.

0:15:300:15:35

If I don't get round the course, I'm going to put myself in detention!

0:15:350:15:37

All of these teachers are going to regret this, but who will be getting the gold star,

0:15:370:15:41

and who will be wearing the dunce's hat?

0:15:410:15:43

Who will have a scrap of dignity left when they're back at school?

0:15:430:15:46

None of them!

0:15:460:15:47

Jeremy leads by example and goes head first into the water.

0:15:470:15:50

At the Crazy Keys, Emily fares no better.

0:15:510:15:54

Emily's given a physical education. She'll be off games for a couple of weeks!

0:15:540:15:58

# I got to go back to school... #

0:15:580:16:02

Jeremy. Big Balls. Sorry, sir. That sounded wrong when I said that.

0:16:020:16:06

Jeremy trying to get down with the kids there,

0:16:070:16:09

bit of crazy-legs break-dancing

0:16:090:16:11

and ends up face down in the water.

0:16:110:16:13

Emily's turn and she...

0:16:150:16:18

teaches us a new kneeling skid technique.

0:16:180:16:20

The kids will have seen all of this.

0:16:200:16:23

Can either of them do the impossible and complete the rings?

0:16:230:16:25

Jeremy hits the deck first, closely followed by Emily. Surely these rings are too hard?

0:16:260:16:31

Jeremy clocks in with a time of 4 minutes and 20 seconds,

0:16:310:16:34

just behind Emily who completes the course in 3 minutes and 49 seconds,

0:16:340:16:38

making her the teacher's pet and Jeremy the class clown!

0:16:380:16:42

The teachers have had their turn.

0:16:440:16:46

So now it's time for a student, 20-year-old Adrian from London.

0:16:460:16:50

Does he have the confidence to defeat the Qualifier?

0:16:500:16:53

I'm the jack of all trades, so watch this space!

0:16:530:16:55

Shout to everyone in my phone, shout to everyone who wants to be in my phone.

0:16:550:16:59

Mmm, that'll be a yes, then!

0:16:590:17:00

Is there anybody you know out straight you're going to beat easy?

0:17:000:17:04

Well, the girls can just move aside.

0:17:040:17:07

They might get far-ish. Well done for the girls, but there's no girls winning!

0:17:070:17:11

-That's not very nice. What does your girlfriend think of that?

-Oh, no, I'm single!

0:17:110:17:16

Funny, that, Adrian!

0:17:160:17:17

I'm not Usain Bolt, I'm not Michael Phelps, but I'm close enough! Come on!

0:17:180:17:22

Well, I'm neither of them either!

0:17:220:17:24

OK, expect Olympic level sprinting and swimming...

0:17:240:17:27

That actually was part-Bolt part-Phelps when he started.

0:17:270:17:30

I'm sure all you ladies out there are rooting for Adrian

0:17:300:17:33

after his outburst earlier, including my daughters. He's...

0:17:330:17:36

Hang on, he's hanging on!

0:17:360:17:37

He's hanging on, he's determined.

0:17:370:17:39

Mmm...bit of justice maybe for the ladies there.

0:17:390:17:42

Looks like that hasn't slowed him down though

0:17:420:17:44

as he powers through the water.

0:17:440:17:45

Single Adrian looks determined at the Sucker Punch...

0:17:450:17:49

Oh!

0:17:490:17:51

I should have said,

0:17:510:17:52

Mrs Eduardo is operating the bonus punch there today.

0:17:520:17:54

She didn't like what he said!

0:17:540:17:56

Single Adrian up and out the mud

0:17:580:17:59

on to the Big Balls!

0:17:590:18:01

Here we go!

0:18:010:18:03

Oh!

0:18:030:18:05

On the rebound?

0:18:050:18:07

Well, that relationship didn't last very long and now he really is on the rebound.

0:18:070:18:11

That would make a great singles ad.

0:18:120:18:14

Adrian, falls off a lot of things, but has a great sense of humour!

0:18:140:18:18

He'll need that good sense of humour right now, because it's Ring-A-Dings time!

0:18:200:18:25

But maybe single Adrian has figured out

0:18:250:18:27

there's a way to defeat these things.

0:18:270:18:29

No, he hasn't, has he?

0:18:290:18:31

On the plus side, Adrian hauls himself on to the podium

0:18:310:18:35

in the fastest time of the day so far, 2 minutes 49.

0:18:350:18:38

On the minus side, he is still single.

0:18:380:18:41

Those Ring-A-Dings really are proving extremely difficult.

0:18:410:18:45

Usually when Eduardo finds old tyres lying around,

0:18:450:18:48

he just tosses them on to his giant family barbecue.

0:18:480:18:51

But not this time.

0:18:510:18:53

His kids might be missing the distinctive taste of rubber-smoked beefburgers,

0:18:530:18:57

but that's our game, because instead we've got the Ring-A-Dings!

0:18:570:19:01

# Monkey, monkey, monkey

0:19:010:19:03

# Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey

0:19:040:19:06

# Monkey, monkey, monkey... #

0:19:070:19:10

Every technique used so far today has failed.

0:19:100:19:13

So what approach will 23-year-old waitress Lisa use?

0:19:130:19:17

Are you in a bit of a pickle, Lisa?

0:19:170:19:19

Aaargh!

0:19:190:19:20

Nice, the upside-down approach!

0:19:200:19:22

Yeah, another method that just doesn't really work.

0:19:220:19:25

She didn't have to wait long before she hit the water!

0:19:250:19:28

If anyone can beat the Ring-A-Dings, sure it's Rambo?

0:19:280:19:32

Sorry, I mean 51-year-old Iain, a photographer from Devon.

0:19:320:19:35

I can run 100 miles!

0:19:350:19:37

I can usually beat the best!

0:19:370:19:39

I've been working on me guns so let's put them to the test!

0:19:390:19:44

And the Rings draw first blood from Rambo!

0:19:470:19:50

So how about 31-year-old cake designer Amy from Northumberland?

0:19:500:19:53

PHRRRT!

0:19:530:19:54

I'm going to run, run as fast as I can. You won't catch me, I'm like a gingerbread man!

0:19:540:19:59

Work those hips, Amy! Work those hips!

0:19:590:20:02

That's what I thought! Amy's used to dealing with a different kind of colourful sponge!

0:20:020:20:06

Is anyone ever going to get across these rings today?

0:20:060:20:10

# Everybody look, yeah, yeah. #

0:20:100:20:12

The next contestant hoping to ding-a-ling-ling those Ring-A-Dings

0:20:120:20:15

is 25-year-old cheerleader Ellie from Blackpool.

0:20:150:20:18

Total Wipeout, here I come,

0:20:180:20:20

watch out, guys, I'm number one!

0:20:200:20:22

She's at the Crazy Keys.

0:20:220:20:24

Oh, great recovery there from Ellie,

0:20:240:20:27

managing to keep her head above water...

0:20:270:20:28

but not for long!

0:20:280:20:29

I didn't help saying what I said.

0:20:290:20:31

No cheering necessary here! She's useless without her pompoms!

0:20:310:20:35

I think it's even given Ellie a little shock by the look on her face!

0:20:360:20:40

Now for the Big Red Balls.

0:20:420:20:43

She has composure, she has balance...

0:20:430:20:45

and now she has a face full of water!

0:20:450:20:47

Two, four, six, eight,

0:20:470:20:50

Big Balls she doesn't appre... I'm not a cheerleader! What can I do?

0:20:500:20:53

Which way?

0:20:570:20:59

This way!

0:20:590:21:00

The opposite way to the way you just came!

0:21:010:21:04

Despite her lack of pompoms and direction,

0:21:040:21:06

Ellie completes the Qualifier in a time of 3 minutes and 49 seconds.

0:21:060:21:10

What about your big, big pompoms over there, the Big Red Balls?

0:21:100:21:13

I fell off everything. I was rubbish!

0:21:130:21:17

With 14 runners having now tackled the Qualifier,

0:21:170:21:20

the leader board looks like this...

0:21:200:21:22

Next on the Qualifier is 41-year-old motorbike enthusiast Jane from Dorset...

0:21:400:21:45

whose trousers don't fit.

0:21:450:21:47

My name's Jane and I've got a motorbike,

0:21:480:21:51

so I'm going to pull my throttle and ride like the wind! Vroom!

0:21:510:21:55

I love motorbikes too and if I had my way I'd let everyone go round the course on two wheels!

0:21:550:22:00

It would make it better!

0:22:000:22:01

See? That's fantastic! My dream TV show! Junior Total Kick Start Wipeout!

0:22:010:22:07

Anyway, bikeless, off goes Jane.

0:22:080:22:10

Here she comes, little, bouncy Jane!

0:22:120:22:14

Let's hope the Crazy Keys don't stall her bid for glory.

0:22:140:22:18

Oh, yowza!

0:22:190:22:20

Straddling the Crazy Keys is not be recommended, kids!

0:22:200:22:23

Lucky she didn't have a motorbike. The engine would have flooded there.

0:22:230:22:27

Still, she's undeterred and attempts the second set

0:22:290:22:31

of Crazy Keys...which...

0:22:310:22:33

ends up with the same result.

0:22:330:22:36

I can't look!

0:22:360:22:37

Well, you must look! That's the whole point of this show!

0:22:370:22:40

Double header, front of head and back of head,

0:22:400:22:42

twice the pain, bang, bang!

0:22:420:22:44

This is where Jane can really kick-start her challenge

0:22:440:22:46

-on the Big Balls!

-MUSIC: "Carmina Burana"

0:22:460:22:48

Here we go!

0:22:480:22:49

Oh! Oooh!

0:22:490:22:51

Oh, that looked painful!

0:22:510:22:53

Hang on a minute! Everything seems wonderful when the Junior Kick Start theme plays.

0:22:530:22:58

-MUSIC: "Junior Kick Start Theme"

-See what I mean? Feels better! I am happy!

0:22:580:23:02

Kick-Start Jane motors round the course in 3 minutes and 56 seconds.

0:23:020:23:07

Will that be enough to see her through to Crash Mountain?

0:23:070:23:09

Seriously, on bikes, we could do it!

0:23:090:23:12

Can I come down?

0:23:130:23:14

When you were on your two feet, standing upright,

0:23:170:23:19

-in fairness, you were pretty speedy.

-Oh, good...

0:23:190:23:22

That wasn't very often!

0:23:220:23:24

No!

0:23:240:23:26

The next two contestants are here to settle an argument as old as time itself.

0:23:270:23:32

Who would reign supreme round a course of foam plastic stupidity,

0:23:320:23:36

PC Plod or Fireman Sam?

0:23:360:23:39

Unfortunately, neither of them are real, so we'll never know,

0:23:390:23:42

but in their place are two of Cheltenham's finest!

0:23:420:23:44

For the Old Bill, it's 28-year-old Kim the copper.

0:23:460:23:48

Big Balls, Big Balls, what are you going to do, what are you going to do when I come for you?

0:23:480:23:53

And for the fire brigade, it's 44-year-old fire-fighter

0:23:530:23:56

and part-time window cleaner Smoking' Jo.

0:23:560:23:59

Fire, fire, I'll extinguish this course.

0:23:590:24:02

Shouting!

0:24:020:24:02

So Kim the copper begins the battle of the services...

0:24:020:24:05

That's a good start.

0:24:050:24:07

On to the podium.

0:24:070:24:10

Meanwhile Jo's on the Crazy Keys.

0:24:100:24:12

Oh! Her hopes just got extinguished.

0:24:120:24:14

Her long legs got her into a little bit of trouble there by the look of things.

0:24:140:24:18

I would say that hurt quite a lot.

0:24:180:24:20

Kim's go now.

0:24:200:24:22

Oh!

0:24:220:24:23

Thank goodness there isn't an actual emergency on the course.

0:24:230:24:26

Kim the copper just got assaulted by a Crazy Key!

0:24:260:24:28

Smokin' Jo looks ready for a fight. On to the Sucker Punch.

0:24:310:24:35

Oh, and she gets one,

0:24:350:24:37

taking it on the chin for her troubles!

0:24:370:24:39

I bet she'd rather be rescuing a cat from a tree right now!

0:24:390:24:42

Kim back on the case and taking on the Big Red Balls.

0:24:450:24:47

Here she goes!

0:24:470:24:49

Yes...

0:24:490:24:51

Oh, weird!

0:24:510:24:51

She aimed right between two of the balls! Did there used to be another one there?

0:24:510:24:55

Has it been stolen? Was it the one and a half is missing?

0:24:550:24:58

Jo's go now.

0:24:580:25:00

And forget the fire brigade. Call the lifeguards!

0:25:000:25:02

Fire-fighter and part-time window cleaner Jo must be used to ladders.

0:25:020:25:06

I mean, they are central to her work.

0:25:060:25:09

What happened there?

0:25:090:25:10

I'm not sure I'd trust her with my windows or rescuing my cat!

0:25:100:25:14

And so Smokin' Jo completes the course in 3 minutes and 23 seconds.

0:25:160:25:20

-Not that you've never fallen off a ladder before!

-How embarrassing is that, eh?

0:25:210:25:25

Tell me what the boys at the station will think of that performance.

0:25:250:25:28

Er...I don't think I'll ever hear the end of it.

0:25:280:25:31

But Kim the copper emerges victorious with an impressive time

0:25:310:25:35

of 2 minutes 52 seconds. That's a win to the boys and girls in blue!

0:25:350:25:39

I'm here at the start of the Qualifier in the presence of holiness.

0:25:380:25:43

So, Jim from Perth, tell me what is that you do?

0:25:430:25:47

Amanda, I'm a Church of Scotland minister and I've been one for 14 years.

0:25:470:25:51

Yeah, the old "using the big chap upstairs to look after you" trick, eh? Let's see if it works, Jim!

0:25:520:25:57

And so Holy Jim begins his crusade.

0:25:570:26:00

What was that? No parting of the Wipeout sea for him!

0:26:000:26:03

Maybe a bit of faith will get Jim across the Crazy Keys.

0:26:030:26:07

It's working, it's working...

0:26:070:26:09

it's failing him.

0:26:090:26:10

Oh, holy moly!

0:26:100:26:12

It hurt, that's the main thing. You need to have 90% faith, 10% pure luck.

0:26:120:26:16

And an extra 100% of padding.

0:26:160:26:19

Holy Jim could do with a miraculous Ball crossing now...

0:26:190:26:23

Look at that! Holy Jim has left an ungodly mess to clean up on that Red Ball there!

0:26:240:26:29

Like a Turin Shroud, Jim getting his face on there!

0:26:290:26:32

Will the Ring-A-Dings administer some treatment of their own?

0:26:320:26:36

That was a pun, it was a pun!

0:26:360:26:38

Sorry.

0:26:380:26:39

Holy Jim completes the course in a time of 3 minutes and 21 seconds.

0:26:430:26:47

And his performance should stand him in good stead for the next life...

0:26:470:26:50

next round, I mean!

0:26:500:26:52

This is 31-year-old Barry from Leeds, and guess what his job is?

0:26:530:26:57

Yeah, he's a tennis umpire... obviously.

0:26:570:27:00

But he used to be a wrestler.

0:27:000:27:03

Yeah, that's enough, thank you. Stop it!

0:27:030:27:05

Can you give me a bit of a wrestling demonstration?

0:27:050:27:07

-Don't say that!

-Aieeee!

-Why would you ask for that?

0:27:070:27:10

Glad he put Amanda down before attempting the course.

0:27:100:27:13

He's surprisingly dainty, isn't he, delicate?

0:27:130:27:15

Oh!

0:27:160:27:17

Right in the face!

0:27:170:27:18

Oh, that's got to be nasty!

0:27:190:27:22

Wrestling V boxing now on the Sucker Punch.

0:27:220:27:24

They say wrestling's faked,

0:27:240:27:26

but you can't fake that, can you?

0:27:260:27:28

That's real, he actually did fall in the mud, bum first!

0:27:280:27:32

New-balls Barry challenges the Big Balls now...fearless...

0:27:320:27:35

and hopeless.

0:27:350:27:37

If Barry had landed on a wrestler instead of some water, that would have been a sweet move!

0:27:370:27:42

He's got his beard wet.

0:27:460:27:48

It'll take some ringing out, that!

0:27:480:27:50

New-balls Barry's final time is

0:27:500:27:52

3 minutes 41, and that should just about see him through to round 2.

0:27:520:27:56

Pretty surprised you're still in one piece after that!

0:27:560:27:59

Thank you... Your concern touches me.

0:27:590:28:02

Last to take on the Qualifier is Katie and it says here she's the daughter of A Lamb...

0:28:030:28:08

-BLEATING

-What? Beg your pardon!

0:28:080:28:10

It says she is the daughter of Allan Lamb, the former England cricket captain.

0:28:100:28:14

I've made a big list of cricket puns and I'm ready to use them!

0:28:140:28:17

Prepare to be bowled over!

0:28:170:28:19

I'll have to cross that one off the list now. I was going to use it.

0:28:190:28:22

Now that's a pace attack!

0:28:240:28:26

100% commitment down the slide and she's rewarded with 100% whack in the face!

0:28:260:28:31

The Sucker Punch is less leg before wicket and leg over boxing glove...

0:28:310:28:35

Mr Lamb, she's doing very well.

0:28:360:28:38

Yes, Katie becomes the first maiden over the Sucker Punch today!

0:28:400:28:43

You see? That takes some working out.

0:28:430:28:46

I'm exhausted. Her dad was used to small red balls,

0:28:460:28:49

how will Katie deal with big bouncy ones?

0:28:490:28:51

Oh, she goes for a duck!

0:28:510:28:53

That bowling action is clearly hereditary!

0:28:530:28:55

And, look, some good spinning action at the end there too.

0:28:550:28:58

# Come fly with me Let's fly, let's fly away... #

0:28:580:29:03

And Katie lamby Lamb

0:29:040:29:06

completes her innings with a time of 3 minutes and 14.

0:29:060:29:09

All I can say is, "Bring it on, Dad!"

0:29:110:29:13

So all 20 contestants have now run the Qualifier.

0:29:130:29:17

So the Qualifier comes to an end,

0:29:330:29:35

and, with it, so do the hopes and dreams of eight contestants.

0:29:350:29:39

As is customary at this point, it's time for a moment of reflection

0:29:390:29:42

and some slow-motion replays of those fallen by the wayside,

0:29:420:29:45

accompanied by a soaring, emotional soundtrack.

0:29:450:29:48

The question is will that music be Westlife, Coldplay or Leona Lewis?

0:29:480:29:52

Bet you a fiver it's Leona!

0:29:520:29:54

MUSIC: "A Moment Like This" by Leona Lewis

0:29:540:29:57

Thank you very much!

0:30:260:30:28

Now, forget about what's just been lost, whether it's eight contestants or a five-pound note!

0:30:280:30:34

Because it's time to get on with the action. It is Crash Mountain!

0:30:350:30:38

The 12 remaining contestants now face Crash Mountain.

0:30:440:30:47

Which, not a lot of people know, also auditioned for a part on another BBC show...

0:30:470:30:51

Exterminate! Exterminate!

0:30:510:30:54

Having failed the audition, the Dalek reject was flown economy to Argentina

0:30:540:30:58

and given a new lease of life.

0:30:580:31:00

The contestants need to get across the large red walkway that goes one way,

0:31:020:31:06

whilst and even larger red-and-blue battering ram goes the other.

0:31:060:31:09

The first five to reach the middle of Crash Mountain will progress to Dizzy Dummies.

0:31:090:31:14

Here's a reminder of the 12 remaining contestants.

0:31:140:31:16

On podiums 1 and 2,

0:31:170:31:20

luscious-lips Lisa and man-mountain Syed.

0:31:200:31:22

-If I don't win, no-one is!

-You tell them, big guy!

0:31:220:31:25

On 3 and 4, Kim the copper...

0:31:250:31:28

This cop isn't going to drop!

0:31:280:31:30

..And no-wally Ollie.

0:31:300:31:31

making up the first half dozen, it's Holy Jim and Smokin' Jo!

0:31:310:31:36

Adrian, your fire's going right out!

0:31:360:31:39

On podiums 7 and 8...pompom Ellie...

0:31:400:31:43

There may be six women and six men, but there's women going through today!

0:31:430:31:47

No!

0:31:470:31:49

And single Adrian.

0:31:500:31:51

I was the fastest on the Qualifier, so say no more!

0:31:510:31:55

Boo!

0:31:550:31:57

On 9 and 10, Katy the Lamb...

0:31:580:32:00

You might be able to walk on water, but I can run on air!

0:32:000:32:04

What does that actually mean? And PE Emily.

0:32:040:32:07

Making up the dirty dozen... new-balls Barry

0:32:070:32:10

and chest-hair Charlie.

0:32:100:32:11

I had a nightmare last night that the god of game shows

0:32:110:32:15

created the most devastating game known to mankind,

0:32:150:32:18

and when I woke up this morning, look what I found at the bottom of my bed! It's Crash Mountain!

0:32:180:32:23

Are you all ready?

0:32:230:32:25

Yeah!

0:32:250:32:27

In your dreams! Three, two, one!

0:32:270:32:30

HOOTER

0:32:300:32:33

The spinning begins which means that jumping, running and falling are now imminent.

0:32:330:32:38

Smokin' Jo gets her falling underway very quickly.

0:32:380:32:40

Now new-balls Barry gives it a go.

0:32:400:32:42

Maybe his arm tassels softened the fall for him.

0:32:420:32:44

What was he thinking?

0:32:440:32:46

Holy Jim tries the blind-faith approach.

0:32:460:32:48

Single Adrian also falls.

0:32:480:32:51

No-wally Ollie... looks like a bit of a wally there.

0:32:540:32:57

Pompom Ellie falls...

0:32:570:32:59

Katy the Lamb falls.

0:32:590:33:00

Chest-hair Charlie falls. Is there anyone left to fall?

0:33:000:33:04

This is Crash Mountain carnage!

0:33:040:33:07

PE Emily...

0:33:070:33:08

face full of plastic!

0:33:080:33:10

Luscious-lips Lisa tries...

0:33:100:33:12

and falls.

0:33:120:33:13

Single Adrian back for more...

0:33:170:33:20

swimming, that is!

0:33:200:33:21

-Give it another go! Get in there!

-Holy Jim...

0:33:240:33:29

Holy moly!

0:33:290:33:30

Our Father, deliver him to the middle, please.

0:33:300:33:33

No-one's got even close yet. Could new-balls Barry change all that?

0:33:360:33:41

No.

0:33:410:33:42

And they all started off so gung-ho, but now they're looking much more anxious.

0:33:450:33:49

-My legs are shaking!

-Come on, someone do it, for goodness' sake!

0:33:490:33:52

Single Adrian goes for it and he's there!

0:33:540:33:57

First one across and about time too!

0:33:570:34:00

Cometh the hour, cometh the ladies' man!

0:34:000:34:03

Is that a Buddhist mantra? Should be. It is now!

0:34:030:34:05

So who will join that lucky so-and-so in the middle?

0:34:050:34:09

How does he do it? The man never works out, always wins things!

0:34:090:34:14

Kim's fallen in. Now pompom Ellie is on the paddle.

0:34:150:34:19

Come on, Ellie!

0:34:190:34:20

She's up...

0:34:240:34:26

And now Ellie understands why the show's called Total Wipeout!

0:34:290:34:33

Cos she was totally!

0:34:330:34:35

Pretty good, Total Wipeout.

0:34:360:34:37

Syed and Lisa both jump... and both fall.

0:34:370:34:40

Two for the price of one!

0:34:400:34:42

Emily gets safely on to the paddle.

0:34:450:34:48

Come on!

0:34:480:34:50

Ooh!

0:34:540:34:56

Oh! And then unsafely knocked off it.

0:34:560:34:59

Still only Adrian has actually made it to the centre.

0:35:000:35:04

Who's joining me next?

0:35:040:35:05

Now Smokin' Jo launches an attempt.

0:35:060:35:09

Nearly there...yes!

0:35:090:35:10

She's just redeemed herself having fallen off a ladder.

0:35:110:35:14

She's still not cleaning my windows!

0:35:140:35:16

So single Adrian and Smokin' Jo are through. Three places remain,

0:35:160:35:20

but who will fill them?

0:35:200:35:22

Will it be pompom Ellie, new-balls Barry, man-mountain Syed,

0:35:220:35:26

Katy the Lamb, luscious-lips Lisa, chest-hair Charlie,

0:35:260:35:30

PE Emily, Kim the copper, no-wally Ollie or Holy Jim?

0:35:300:35:35

Ollie...dashes across...

0:35:390:35:40

and, oh, not quite!

0:35:400:35:43

Here comes Holy Jim.

0:35:440:35:46

No! Within touching distance!

0:35:460:35:48

Oh, so close, Jim!

0:35:480:35:50

She's back already. Emily is on to the paddle this time.

0:35:500:35:53

Emily ducks the sweeping arm... and again...

0:35:540:35:57

..and again...

0:35:580:35:59

Come on, Emily!

0:35:590:36:00

She's going to have to run in a moment.

0:36:000:36:04

Oh, not that moment, though! Wrong one! I'm sure she'll be back for another go, though.

0:36:050:36:09

Here comes Kim the copper now.

0:36:090:36:12

Jo the fire-fighter has made it on. Can Kim join her?

0:36:120:36:16

Come on, Kim!

0:36:160:36:17

Oh! Call an ambulance!

0:36:190:36:21

-No-wally Ollie now sprints... and makes it!

-Yes!

0:36:270:36:31

-That's three in the middle, two places left.

-What a relief!

0:36:310:36:35

Katy the Lamb springs into action and she's across too. Effortless.

0:36:350:36:39

Four places taken now. When I say effortless, obviously, it wasn't, it was hard.

0:36:390:36:44

Just one place remains, but who will get there first? Will it be luscious-lips Lisa?

0:36:440:36:47

Man-mountain Syed? Kim the copper?

0:36:470:36:50

Holy Jim? Pompom Ellie?

0:36:500:36:52

PE Emily? New-balls Barry? Or chest-hair Charlie?

0:36:520:36:56

One place left!

0:36:560:36:58

Kim making a bid now.

0:36:580:37:00

Ooh!

0:37:010:37:02

OK!

0:37:020:37:03

Oh! And it was a losing bid!

0:37:030:37:06

Pompom Ellie runs along the paddle

0:37:060:37:08

and then veers off it.

0:37:080:37:10

Syed now, straight on and straight off.

0:37:100:37:12

Charlie looking good here...

0:37:130:37:15

No! Lost his balance at the last minute!

0:37:150:37:18

Come on, everyone,

0:37:180:37:19

or we'll need to send out for more AA batteries to keep the thing going!

0:37:190:37:23

OK, Syed's fully on the paddle this time.

0:37:230:37:25

If I blow you, you'll get there, Look.

0:37:250:37:26

Yeah! Anyway, Syed gets to his feet

0:37:270:37:30

and he's made it!

0:37:300:37:32

Yeah!

0:37:320:37:34

See? My blowing tactics worked!

0:37:350:37:38

OK, let's move on and leave her unawares.

0:37:380:37:40

So the final five have made it to the centre of Crash Mountain... eventually.

0:37:400:37:44

These five can celebrate.

0:37:440:37:47

But for the seven losers it's buenos noches, Buenos Aires.

0:37:470:37:51

I'm dreading going back to school on Monday, I'm really dreading it.

0:37:560:37:59

They're not going to let me live this down at all.

0:37:590:38:02

As the thing goes round,

0:38:020:38:03

it just doesn't hold my weight.

0:38:030:38:04

It actually gives a little bit,

0:38:040:38:06

I wasn't expecting that.

0:38:060:38:07

Unless I'm just too fat!

0:38:070:38:09

I'm so gutted I'm out. I was so close.

0:38:100:38:12

I gave it my best shot, and, yeah, I crashed out.

0:38:120:38:16

It was basically an experiment that went wrong on my behalf.

0:38:160:38:20

Today the fire-fighter came out on top.

0:38:220:38:24

In reality, the girls in blue do it all the time.

0:38:240:38:26

I think Adrian's going to win. perhaps,

0:38:260:38:29

but it would be nice to see our good brother and friend

0:38:290:38:31

just have a wee slip, that would be nice!

0:38:310:38:33

Forgive and forget, surely, Jim?

0:38:340:38:37

Anyway, let's not worry about that lot. They're losers!

0:38:370:38:40

Time to focus on the winners. And I've got to say my money is on Adrian.

0:38:400:38:43

Fastest on the Qualifier and the first to ascend Crash Mountain.

0:38:430:38:46

I bet my recently won fiver that he wins this thing.

0:38:460:38:50

No, I bet a fiver and my car and my house and the shirt off my back

0:38:500:38:54

that Adrian wins today's show. Easy money! Time for Dizzy Dummies!

0:38:540:38:59

Here's how it works. The five remaining contestants are strapped into that fast-rotating machine

0:39:050:39:10

for as long as Argentinean laws permit.

0:39:100:39:13

Then, dizzy, sick and confused,

0:39:130:39:15

they will all receive a good hosing as they make their way to the carousel goal.

0:39:150:39:19

After getting over the goalposts, they must cross the lubed-up pipe bridge...

0:39:190:39:24

The first four across then have to go through the same again,

0:39:240:39:27

except this time, instead of the pipe bridge they must get across the Blueberries

0:39:270:39:31

whilst getting dodgeballed in the noggin.

0:39:310:39:34

The last contestant is eliminated, leaving behind today's Wipeout finalists.

0:39:340:39:37

The Qualifier? Kind of tricky. Crash Mountain? Taking the mickey!

0:39:400:39:44

Dizzy Dummies? Yeah, you've guessed it! Time to get sicky!

0:39:440:39:48

Are you all ready?

0:39:480:39:50

Pass the sick bag! Three, two, one!

0:39:520:39:55

HOOTER

0:39:550:39:57

Right, a reminder of today's five Dizzy Dummies...

0:39:570:40:00

He won the Qualifier, he was first on to Crash Mountain, he's really good. It's single Adrian!

0:40:010:40:07

She's a fire-fighter and part-time window cleaner...

0:40:070:40:09

and, yeah, she fell off a ladder in the Qualifier, it's Smoking' Jo!

0:40:090:40:13

Adrian, your fire's going right out!

0:40:130:40:15

He's blasted his way through to Dizzy Dummies, it's man-mountain Syed.

0:40:160:40:21

Bangladesh!

0:40:210:40:22

She's Allan's daughter and Larry's sister, it's Katy the Lamb.

0:40:220:40:26

Prepare to be bowled over!

0:40:260:40:28

He's a cross between Alfie Moon and a ninja, well, according to him anyway! It's no-wally Ollie!

0:40:280:40:33

My name's Ollie and I'm no wally!

0:40:330:40:34

The Dummies are released.

0:40:420:40:44

And, as predicted, Adrian is off to a flyer!

0:40:440:40:47

The stragglers are still getting a hosing, but Adrian's up and already over the goalpost.

0:40:470:40:52

My bet's looking good!

0:40:520:40:54

Single Adrian on to the pipe bridge.

0:40:540:40:56

Waddles along...

0:40:560:40:58

Oh! I wonder what caused him to fall there!

0:40:590:41:01

Oh, yeah! Could be all the grease. Doesn't make it any easier.

0:41:010:41:06

Back at the carousel, Joe falls, this time, though, not from a ladder.

0:41:060:41:09

Syed and Katie...

0:41:090:41:11

synchronised falling! It's like Torvill and Dean at their peak... sort of.

0:41:110:41:16

Top marks.

0:41:160:41:18

Now, Ollie's over the goalposts too, whilst everyone else falls around him.

0:41:180:41:23

Ollie on the pipes.

0:41:230:41:25

Slips...on the grease once again, looking a bit of a wally there if we're honest, Ollie.

0:41:250:41:30

5-foot-2 Syed having a problem with the goalpost.

0:41:300:41:33

Being small is nothing to laugh at, Amanda!

0:41:330:41:37

Syed!

0:41:380:41:39

Go on, Syed, show her!

0:41:400:41:41

No!

0:41:420:41:44

I meant, show her how good small folk can be, not show her how to fall into the water!

0:41:440:41:48

Never mind!

0:41:480:41:50

Adrian, the coolest cucumber in town!

0:41:530:41:56

Oh!

0:41:560:41:57

I think his cucumber just got a bit cooler.

0:41:590:42:01

Ollie seems to be taking a little tea break here.

0:42:040:42:07

He isn't quite demonstrating the urgency required. Come on!

0:42:070:42:10

Go on! Go on!

0:42:110:42:13

Or the balance!

0:42:140:42:15

Smokin' Jo makes a dash for it...

0:42:170:42:19

And she's nearly there! Hold on, Jo!

0:42:200:42:22

-And Jo becomes the first person to make it to safety.

-She's on fire!

0:42:250:42:30

Now Katy jumps for it.

0:42:300:42:31

-Can she hold on?

-Oh!

0:42:310:42:34

Slowly edges up on to the pontoon. Yes!

0:42:340:42:37

Mr Lamb, she's done you proud!

0:42:370:42:40

Yeah!

0:42:400:42:42

Looks like she even surprised herself with that!

0:42:420:42:45

Both of our girls are through to the next round...of Dizzy Dummies.

0:42:500:42:54

I'll be honest...I'm a teensy bit concerned about my bet on Adrian now. I'm sure it'll be fine.

0:42:540:42:59

It'll be OK.

0:42:590:43:00

OK, so now Ollie's across too.

0:43:000:43:03

Oh, Adrian's down again!

0:43:030:43:04

Oh, my goodness, Syed's about to beat Adrian!

0:43:040:43:08

-Go on, Syed!

-I'm guessing that gap must look pretty huge when you're 5 foot 2!

0:43:080:43:12

I'm taller than that, by the way!

0:43:120:43:14

-I can't jump that far!

-You've got to jump, man, you've got to jump!

0:43:140:43:17

Syed is now a couple of feet away from defeating today's strongest contestant so far,

0:43:170:43:22

but he needs to make this jump. He needs to do this!

0:43:220:43:24

He's brave, he's going to do it...

0:43:250:43:27

And he's...done it!

0:43:320:43:35

Incredible! The man mountain rocks the Dizzy Dummies!

0:43:350:43:39

I do not believe this!

0:43:430:43:45

That is the look of a man who has literally been beaten...

0:43:470:43:52

You must be absolutely gutted,

0:43:540:43:56

because I know, from speaking to you this morning, that you had every intention

0:43:560:43:59

of beating all of the girls, and two chicks have just beaten you, Adrian!

0:43:590:44:03

It was the Vaseline on the...

0:44:030:44:05

on the... No, it was. Look, my hand's all greasy... Do you want some?

0:44:050:44:09

The girls had the Vaseline too!

0:44:090:44:12

Yeah, but... I did say the girls won't win it, so...

0:44:120:44:15

-..Syed or Ollie...I'm still going to put my money on them!

-Adrian!

0:44:160:44:19

Message to my wife. "We're staying in the Tewkesbury Travelodge tonight.

0:44:210:44:24

"And you're going to have to pick me up."

0:44:240:44:26

Can we get on with the second round of Dizzy Dummies, please? I'm getting cold in here, really.

0:44:260:44:30

Round 2. There's more vomit-inducing horror at the beginning, but this time the course culminates

0:44:330:44:38

in the Blueberries!

0:44:380:44:40

And so off they wobble.

0:44:440:44:46

Jo and Katy charge up the slope and slide back down it.

0:44:460:44:50

Oh, look at this! Man-mountain Syed, first over the goalposts!

0:44:500:44:54

It's madness on the carousel, but Ollie's now over too!

0:44:540:44:56

Talk about the underdog!

0:44:570:44:59

Never write off the vertically challenged, Amanda! He'll be back!

0:44:590:45:04

Ollie on to the Blueberries...

0:45:040:45:06

..for a split second.

0:45:070:45:08

Now Katie...

0:45:080:45:09

Something tells me we're going to be here for a while!

0:45:090:45:11

A terrific leap from Jo!

0:45:160:45:18

Overshot the Blueberry, but managed to hang on.

0:45:200:45:23

Katie tries the same aggressive approach. Doesn't work so well for her.

0:45:230:45:28

Despite the dastardly dodgeballs, Smokin' Jo's crawling her way across the troublesome Blueberries!

0:45:310:45:35

Come on, then!

0:45:350:45:37

Fighting talk from the fire-fighter!

0:45:370:45:40

Behind her, Ollie's now successfully on the Blueberries.

0:45:400:45:43

Ooh, fantastic leap as Smokin' Jo launches herself into the Wipeout Zone!

0:45:440:45:50

-Sssss!

-The fire-fighter's sizzling!

0:45:500:45:53

Syed, still struggling.

0:45:530:45:56

Oh, Syed!

0:45:560:45:57

# They laugh at me, these fellows, just because I am small

0:45:570:46:01

# They laugh at me because I'm not 100 feet tall... #

0:46:030:46:06

I'm not holding out much hope for poor little Syed.

0:46:080:46:11

Katie's looking to take advantage of the man mountain's misfortune.

0:46:110:46:14

And she's finally on.

0:46:140:46:16

Ollie, now, nearly across...

0:46:180:46:19

No-wally Ollie joins Jo in the Wipeout Zone.

0:46:190:46:23

That's ill-advised! I wouldn't have done that!

0:46:250:46:28

Now Katie's on her last Blueberry,

0:46:280:46:30

but she's very wary of those dodgeballs!

0:46:300:46:33

Syed still trying to mount the Blueberries to no avail...

0:46:330:46:36

The dodgeballers wait for no-one.

0:46:360:46:38

Katie psychs herself up for one big leap...

0:46:410:46:44

And she's done it! Katy the Lamb grabs the final spot in the Wipeout Zone

0:46:450:46:51

which means it's goodbye to the man mountain.

0:46:510:46:54

You know what, you're only very lickle and I don't think you stood a chance on that particular obstacle!

0:46:550:47:00

Yeah, yeah, it was much harder than it looked, yeah.

0:47:000:47:03

-You did Bangladesh proud!

-Yeah...

0:47:030:47:05

I tried my best, yeah...

0:47:050:47:07

I hope I have made Bangladesh proud, yeah...

0:47:070:47:10

So fire-fighter Smokin' Jo, student no-wally Ollie and marketing executive Katy the Lamb

0:47:100:47:16

have made it through to today's final round, the Wipeout Zone.

0:47:160:47:20

And like me, making my way home from our last office party,

0:47:200:47:23

they've had to overcome water, greased-up poles and giant blueberries to get there!

0:47:230:47:27

And for that, we salute them!

0:47:270:47:29

It's so strange to think there's two girls through and a guy.

0:47:330:47:37

The boys were, like, "We've got it in the bag. It's going to be an all-guy final!"

0:47:400:47:44

And here we are, and it's me and Jo through!

0:47:440:47:47

Really feeling the pressure that there's two girls in the final.

0:47:470:47:50

Jo, in particular, I'm very scared of. She's got long legs and she's beaten me in the previous rounds.

0:47:500:47:56

To actually compete against a lot of men, you know, I have done that, I'm used to that...

0:47:560:48:02

Jo's a lot older than me. On paper, that would make me think I've got a good chance against Jo.

0:48:020:48:05

I am sporty...

0:48:050:48:07

but I'm 44! I've got children the same age as some of these contestants!

0:48:070:48:12

And let's see what happens with Ollie!

0:48:120:48:14

Ollie's got his game face on and I think he's going to try his very best for the boys!

0:48:160:48:21

Katie's a bit of shock for me being in the final.

0:48:210:48:24

She's very competitive. I think she's planning to win this tonight.

0:48:240:48:27

Katie's brilliant, you know, she's really pulled the stops out!

0:48:270:48:32

I would absolutely love to beat Ollie and Jo.

0:48:320:48:35

-It's about winning.

-It's down to me to beat these girls!

0:48:370:48:40

To be honest, I'm just going to go out there and give it my best.

0:48:400:48:42

Holding that cup up at the end of the day and saying, you know, "It's me that's won this!"

0:48:420:48:47

So this is it...the pinnacle, the apex, the peak, the summit...

0:48:520:48:57

the highlight, the zenith... I've got a new thesaurus app on my phone.

0:48:570:49:02

Sorry...Angry Birds.

0:49:050:49:07

Anyway, what I was trying to build to is, it's the Wipeout Zone!

0:49:090:49:12

First it's the Killer Surf with only a rubber ring for comfort.

0:49:210:49:24

Then it's the hike of hell up the Rapid Climb

0:49:240:49:27

where they've got just ten seconds to make it to the top

0:49:270:49:29

before a Tidal Wave is unleashed upon them.

0:49:290:49:31

Then balance is everything on the Seesaw Of Truth.

0:49:310:49:35

From there they'll have to duck and dive to avoid the Crazy Sweeper.

0:49:350:49:39

Then it's the Rope Swing on to the Turntable

0:49:390:49:41

and a final leap to the finish podium where the clock stops.

0:49:410:49:44

The fastest round the course will be crowned Total Wipeout champion

0:49:440:49:48

and walk away with £10,000.

0:49:480:49:51

What a line-up we have tonight!

0:49:510:49:54

A girl, a boy and another girl.

0:49:540:49:57

Did I mention we've got two girls and a boy, as in 100% more girl than boy?

0:49:570:50:01

Not that I'm showing any favouritism! Katie is the first to go...

0:50:010:50:05

who, by the way, is a girl.

0:50:050:50:08

It's the cricketer's daughter versus the mother of all assault courses.

0:50:110:50:15

This one's for the family!

0:50:150:50:16

HOOTER

0:50:180:50:20

So Katie gets the Wipeout Zone underway.

0:50:200:50:23

She's in and swimming.

0:50:310:50:33

But quickly on to the Rapid Climb.

0:50:340:50:36

The minute she gets on to that ramp,

0:50:360:50:38

the 10-second Tidal Wave countdown will begin.

0:50:380:50:41

-And there it is!

-That's it, Katie!

0:50:410:50:43

Run for it!

0:50:430:50:44

Katie is taking Amanda's advice

0:50:440:50:45

she's quickly up the ramp, totally avoiding the Tidal Wave.

0:50:450:50:48

Come on, Katie, girl.

0:50:480:50:50

And Katie progresses to the Seesaw Of Truth,

0:50:500:50:53

trying to balance with her heart pounding

0:50:530:50:56

and the roar of water in her ears...

0:50:560:50:58

The seesaw tips, Katie's looking good.

0:50:580:51:03

Being cautious and needs to be. Next, the Crazy Sweeper.

0:51:040:51:07

It's all about timing this right.

0:51:070:51:09

Oh, a near miss there, but Katie survives it,

0:51:090:51:13

managing to duck the Crazy Sweeper.

0:51:130:51:16

Back on her feet, up and running for it.

0:51:160:51:18

Come on, Katie, hurry up!

0:51:180:51:20

That's it!

0:51:210:51:22

Go, go, go!

0:51:220:51:24

Oh! No, the Sweeper was simply too quick and Katie just kind of threw herself into the water there.

0:51:240:51:30

-I think she just jumped off that.

-That makes two of us, Amanda.

0:51:340:51:37

I think she just got out of its way at the last second.

0:51:370:51:40

Right, Rope Swing now. Katie prepares herself for a giant leap!

0:51:400:51:44

She's holding on tight.

0:51:440:51:46

And she makes it!

0:51:460:51:48

One jump to go and it's all over. Come on!

0:51:480:51:50

Oh, hang on, Katie!

0:51:500:51:52

She does, and completes the Wipeout Zone in a very fast time.

0:51:520:51:56

A great run.

0:51:560:51:57

Katy the Lamb barely put a foot wrong the whole way round,

0:52:010:52:04

except for that voluntary fall on the Crazy Sweeper,

0:52:040:52:07

but will her time be enough to beat Jo and Ollie?

0:52:070:52:10

Did you enjoy that?

0:52:120:52:13

Oh...part...the...

0:52:130:52:17

I'm not understanding a word you're saying, but it doesn't matter because you did really well.

0:52:170:52:20

You've just done that in 2 minutes and 34 seconds.

0:52:200:52:24

-Oh!

-That's a brilliant time, but you do know that Ollie and Jo are coming up next,

0:52:240:52:30

-they're both equally determined...

-It's going to be amazing.

-Ollie's up next. Let's watch.

0:52:300:52:35

50% Alfie Moon, 50% ninja, 0% wally, it's no-wally Ollie!

0:52:370:52:42

My name's Ollie Beasant and I'm doing this for everyone I know and love.

0:52:430:52:46

Wish me luck!

0:52:460:52:48

HE SCREAMS

0:52:480:52:51

Trademark scream there!

0:52:570:52:59

The flying Ollie!

0:52:590:53:01

And now it's a climbing Ollie!

0:53:010:53:03

He's on to the Rapid Climb, so the 10-second countdown begins.

0:53:040:53:07

Ollie literally making big strides here,

0:53:070:53:09

and like Katie he beats the wave.

0:53:090:53:12

Whoo!

0:53:120:53:14

No problem for no-wally Ollie, avoiding the horror of the Tidal Wave.

0:53:140:53:18

On to the Seesaw... Ollie waits for it to tip.

0:53:190:53:22

Ooh, a little wobble, but he's still on, he's made it.

0:53:220:53:24

Next it's the Crazy Sweeper.

0:53:240:53:27

This is where Katy the Lamb made her one mistake on her run.

0:53:270:53:31

Ollie legs it but that spinning arm is already closing in.

0:53:310:53:34

He's going to have to duck soon.

0:53:340:53:37

Or maybe he's not!

0:53:370:53:39

Because he's made it!

0:53:390:53:40

Incredible! Ollie makes it in one!

0:53:400:53:42

He's yet to make a single mistake.

0:53:420:53:44

He's only got the Rope Swing and the Turntable to go.

0:53:440:53:46

He swings out...still holding on...

0:53:480:53:51

Oh, a heavy landing! This is looking fast!

0:53:510:53:55

Ollie's on the Turntable, he lines himself up...

0:53:550:53:57

..jumps, and that is a flawless run from Ollie!

0:53:580:54:00

1 minute 20 seconds, that's incredible!

0:54:000:54:03

Yes!

0:54:030:54:04

Now, there is a lesson in how to do the Wipeout Zone!

0:54:060:54:08

Ollie blasts his way past every obstacle without a second thought.

0:54:080:54:12

Definitely part Ninja and no wally at all!

0:54:120:54:15

It's over to Amanda to tell Ollie his spectacular time.

0:54:150:54:18

-You went like a bullet!

-Thanks very much, thanks very much!

0:54:180:54:22

-Fast and accurate, that's me.

-I kind of blinked and I think I might have missed it!

-Oh, really?

0:54:220:54:27

-I don't think it was that fast!

-He's been doing it for the boys tonight.

0:54:270:54:31

-Yeah.

-Ollie...

0:54:310:54:32

you're one step closer to making them proud, because you were faster than Katie!

0:54:320:54:38

-Hard luck, Katie. Go join the others, my darling.

-Good luck.

-Well done!

0:54:380:54:42

-Only Jo to go.

-And it means yours is the time to beat, so let's watch Jo.

0:54:420:54:46

Let's do it. Good luck, Jo.

0:54:460:54:48

Here comes the final contender, Smokin' Jo.

0:54:510:54:54

Careful on that ladder, obviously!

0:54:540:54:55

This is for you, Josie and Julie!

0:54:580:55:01

Now, Jo has Ollie's time to beat, and at 1 minute 20 seconds, that is not going to be easy.

0:55:010:55:08

That's an astonishing time in front of her.

0:55:080:55:11

Out of the ring, into the water. It's a swim

0:55:120:55:15

then the Rapid Climb first of all.

0:55:150:55:17

She's up quickly. But Jo's going to have to keep that speed up.

0:55:180:55:22

The Tidal Wave won't get a look-in if she's fast enough.

0:55:220:55:25

10 seconds, remember.

0:55:250:55:26

Oh, she's taking it steady on the steep sections.

0:55:280:55:31

Oh, no, she's slipped!

0:55:310:55:33

And she's sliding...

0:55:330:55:35

And that means the wave is going to hit her! She's going to get caught.

0:55:350:55:39

She's past it, that's good.

0:55:390:55:41

Jo sticks close to the edge and misses the worst of it,

0:55:440:55:47

but the seconds are ebbing away...

0:55:470:55:49

along with Jo's chances of winning Total Wipeout!

0:55:490:55:53

On to the Seesaw Of Truth.

0:55:530:55:54

Jo looks steady on her feet,

0:55:540:55:56

but how will she handle the tipping point in the middle?

0:55:560:55:59

That's critical. She's past it. Nicely done.

0:55:590:56:02

Quickly on to the Crazy Sweeper.

0:56:020:56:04

She's going to have to go like the wind.

0:56:040:56:06

This is make or break for Smokin' Jo.

0:56:060:56:08

A big mistake here and her title challenge is all over.

0:56:080:56:11

Judging speeds, distances... the best time to run...

0:56:110:56:14

Oh, she's ducked.

0:56:140:56:16

Come on, Jo, come on!

0:56:160:56:17

She ducks a second time and this has to be it!

0:56:220:56:24

She's got to get a move on... No, she's ducking again!

0:56:240:56:27

Don't forget, Jo has no idea of the time pressure she's under.

0:56:270:56:30

She didn't see Ollie's incredible run.

0:56:300:56:33

Big push now on to the podiums...

0:56:330:56:35

Oh, that was not Jo's best foot forwards there.

0:56:350:56:39

So nearly out of the Sweeper's reach and on to the Rope Swing, Jo's chances of winning are already over.

0:56:390:56:44

She just can't catch Ollie now.

0:56:440:56:47

Ollie can't believe his luck, or rather Jo's lack of it.

0:56:470:56:49

Jo is up and on to the Rope Swing,

0:56:490:56:52

good swing, great landing...

0:56:520:56:53

Let go of the rope, woman!

0:56:550:56:57

Oh, maybe I spoke too soon!

0:56:570:56:59

-Things going from bad to worse for Smokin' Jo.

-No, she didn't!

0:56:590:57:02

Oh, yes, she did!

0:57:020:57:04

Sorry, this isn't pantomime, is it?

0:57:040:57:06

Come on, Jo, come on!

0:57:060:57:08

For Jo encouragement from the crowd!

0:57:080:57:10

She's got her eye on that button. A quick jump...slaps the button

0:57:100:57:13

and overshoots!

0:57:130:57:15

Great effort from Jo, but Ollie's time was always going to be hard to beat.

0:57:150:57:18

A slip of the Crazy Sweeper and a trip on the Turntable

0:57:180:57:21

plus that overenthusiastic finish all mean she posts a time of 3 minutes and 14 seconds.

Oh, my goodness! Fantastic performance from you, my love!

0:57:280:57:32

That was amazing! A few slips and trips, but, yeah, I got here!

0:57:320:57:36

-You had some ups and downs.

-Absolutely!

0:57:360:57:39

And you've had some ups and downs all day,

0:57:390:57:41

but you kept fighting your way through all the way through just like a fire-fighter should.

0:57:410:57:45

-Oh, absolutely. I can't give up.

-Oh, listen...

0:57:450:57:48

Ollie's been fantastic tonight, you have been incredible...

0:57:480:57:51

-Your kids will be so proud of you tonight, Jo...

-I hope so.

0:57:510:57:55

But your fire has been extinguished, I'm afraid,

0:57:550:57:58

because, Ollie, you are the Total Wipeout champion!

0:57:580:58:02

Yeah!

0:58:030:58:04

Well done, my man!

0:58:040:58:06

So, 21-year-old business student Ollie Beasant from Swindon is today's Total Wipeout champion.

0:58:090:58:15

And he is most certainly not a wally.

0:58:150:58:17

But he is a buffoon, a nincompoop, an imbecile, a dufus...

0:58:170:58:23

It's a great app! That's all for today, but join me next time,

0:58:230:58:26

when there'll be some people falling off things,

0:58:260:58:28

some other people falling off things

0:58:280:58:30

and, in a Total Wipeout exclusive,

0:58:300:58:32

there will be some people falling off things!

0:58:320:58:35

From Amanda and me, goodbye.
