0:00:02 > 0:00:03'We interrupt this broadcast
0:00:03 > 0:00:05'with news of strange sightings from across the globe.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07'The nation has been told not to panic.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08'Ooh la la!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10'Yes, sir. That's a big ball.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12'We don't know what it is or where it's heading.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17'We've got a signal and it's definitely heading south.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20'Amazing scenes here in Argentina.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23'There appears to be balls descending on Earth.'
0:00:26 > 0:00:29MUSIC: Theme from "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"
0:00:29 > 0:00:33DEEP BASSY LAST NOTE
0:00:33 > 0:00:34We're back!
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Tonight, on Total Wipeout, 20 audacious human beings - including a professor, a soldier
0:00:41 > 0:00:45and an accountant - have come to Argentina to face the hardest
0:00:45 > 0:00:48and most hilarious obstacle course known to man.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52All have the same intention, to leave in one piece
0:00:52 > 0:00:54and be £10,000 richer than the rest.
0:00:55 > 0:01:01Hold onto your seats because it's going to be a bumpy ride. Let the games begin.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Welcome, welcome, welcome, to a brand new series of Total Wipeout.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Now, I have in the past, I admit, claimed certain elements
0:01:10 > 0:01:14of this show were "new" when, in actual fact, they had just been given
0:01:14 > 0:01:17a lick of paint, or covered in a new shade of red foam.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22But today, I can honestly say that the course is totally mostly new.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26And so it gives me great pleasure to declare the new Total Wipeout course...
0:01:26 > 0:01:29These are real and everything. ..open!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Here's how it looks.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37The Qualifier, like a giant game of Mousetrap, but with humans.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41The all-new Double-Cross, a crissy-crossy spinny poley thing.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Then there's the equally new Terror-Go-Round. It's terrible and goes round.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Finally, it's the slightly less new Wipeout Zone. Smells a bit.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52On with this series' inaugural contestant,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56who is at the top of the course with my co-host, the brand-new Amanda Byram.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00She might look the same to you, but I can tell the difference.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09Joining me now at the top of the qualifier, Antrim's own Annalane.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13This is the lull before the storm. What have you been doing to calm yourself?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I do meditation, I actually got up too early this morning
0:02:17 > 0:02:19and did a meditation at five o'clock.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Was that you I could hear from my apartment? Um-nim-mom.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29Annalane is getting in the zone with an interesting meditating technique.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33It may have taken me three attempts to pass my maths GCSE,
0:02:33 > 0:02:38but I'm going to pass this course in flying colours!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Good for you. And good to see the klaxon operator still has a sense of humour.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Either that, or he's meditating too.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Time for a quick peek at the first new obstacle.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52The Unfair Stairs. Annalane will face them any second now.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Any second. - KLAXON WAILS
0:02:54 > 0:02:56She's off.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59The Unfair Stairs don't look at all that unfair to me, but here we go.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, yeah. They do now. No-one told me they moved.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04No-one told Annalane either.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Time to take a look at the next amazing and new obstacle.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12This is the Time Tunnel. Make it through all four spinning hoops
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and you will be transported back in time to the age of the dinosaurs.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18At least, that's the theory.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22So will Annalane be Wipeout's first time traveller?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Timing is something of a prerequisite here... Oh!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27And that didn't go well.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Because Annalane failed to make it past the first time portal,
0:03:31 > 0:03:36she won't be travelling back in time and she'll need to try again.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I think these are going to be fun.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Through the first. Ooh! Slight slip.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44She's back up.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48This is actually going well... Oh!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Oh, dear! That's bad karma all round.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Next, it's the Sucker Punch and, new for this series,
0:03:54 > 0:03:59added squirty wirties, making this the Squirty Wirty Sucker Punch.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Here we go. How will Annalane fare?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Oh! She'll fall off. It's a bit like the old Sucker Punch really.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Now for the biggest stars of the show.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14It's the Big Red Balls which, sadly for Annalane, are still here.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Along with this.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's the brand-new Motivator, hang about and this will happen.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23My advice, don't dawdle.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And Annalane doesn't.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh!
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Yeah, they are a lot harder. I mean, a lot harder. That actually hurt.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Has somebody filled them with rubble?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Annalane only has one obstacle left and this one is all-new.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45A large rotating wheel with cut-out shapes. It's the Shape Shifter.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48All she has to do is jump onto the swinging block,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51then dive through any of the available cut-outs, like that.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Or that. Or that.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Just don't do that.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Will Annalane find the inner peace she craves?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Yeah, here we go. Onto the block.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09May the luck of the Irish be with you, woman.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- She's going for the square window. - Oh, yes! Hang on tight!
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- Hang on until it gets... Oh! - This isn't going to end well.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21She's still in there. She could be cut in half or something.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- Oh, my goodness! Prepare yourself. Get ready.- Here we go.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Go! Go! Go! Go!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29No.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Maybe, just maybe, the Shape Shifter is a bit harder than I made out
0:05:35 > 0:05:37at the beginning there.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Only the fastest 12 qualify for the next round.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45And Annalane Mean Machine makes the finish in a respectable
0:05:45 > 0:05:504:13, but only time will tell if that will be enough.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Next to tackle the qualifier is man mountain Bernard.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55He dodges danger on a daily basis,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58working with high-voltage electricity on the railways.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01And that's how to conquer the Unfair Stairs.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03But can he conquer the time tunnel?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Jumps for it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Oh! He's down.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13He's stuck. Oh, dear! This isn't... This has gone wrong.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Oh, no. He is... Terribly, terribly wrong.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19They don't slow down, do they?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's great to be back!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Incredibly, this guy works in railway safety,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29on his own, at night, and look at him.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Since Bernard didn't make it past the first portal,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37and he really didn't, it's take two. Here we go.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Mind your head. Those things do move at quite a speed.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Here we go... Oh, Bernard, going for the double...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48For a moment, I thought his leg had actually come off.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Maybe he can blame this on signal failure,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55or the wrong sort of leaves on the beam.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Do you think you're going to beat the Sucker Punch?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Well, I have what is known as the kung-fu grip
0:07:00 > 0:07:03and I'm pretty sure my mum hits harder than them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Considering the size of Bernard, his mum must be quite a woman.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09She must be massive!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Oh, squirty wirty! Followed by a Sucker Punch.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16That is textbook stuff.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Let's have another look at that.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Squirty wirty catches him off guard, followed by the Sucker Punch.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26A simple, but effective demonstration of the squirty-wirty
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Sucker Punch. Yeah, it works.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32This is 19-year-old Heather, from Preston.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35She's a creative writing student...
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- and quite a mover. - # ..I can boogie... #
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Heather, how do you know today is going to be a good day for you?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Because it's good, for a start, because I'm in Argentina
0:07:44 > 0:07:46and that's just amazing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50And I predict even more amazing things are about to happen.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54A lovely step through, almost elegant. Oh, that wasn't.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I thought this was going to be easy.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Turns out, time travel is really quite tricky. Who knew?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07That's a shame, that is.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Nice technique though.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Super nose pinch as she hits the water.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15The Sucker Punch now and Heather is too short for the squirty.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Sadly, not the fists.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20If you look closely, you will see another nose pinch there.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Heather really doesn't like things up her hooter.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26When I'm really tired and get a punch in the face,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'll pretend it's like aliens chasing me, to keep me going.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I've done it before on my bike.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's like, "Oh! Aliens chasing me! Keep pedalling!"
0:08:35 > 0:08:39We've all done that, but it's not aliens you've got to worry about,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42it's the Motivator, but don't worry, it's missed.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45We're on the second... No, we're in the water.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Hope that was a nose pinch there.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Yes! Hooter-Holding Heather held her nose on every fall.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It's a shame this lady didn't.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57This is Jan and she really should have held her nose.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Jan is a nurse from North Wales,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02and normally, she's really happy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05See? Lovely colours.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Now, she may be wet,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11but her spirit's undampened as she takes on the... Oh, yeah.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Fell off. Well, that happens.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Sadly, it's the Big Balls next,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17for a now less-than-happy-looking Jan.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Here we go. Good height.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23But bad fall. Yeah. Bad.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Is she still happy now?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29No, she's not happy. She needs to catch her breath.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33SHE BELCHES
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Oh. I'm getting pickled onion, don't know about you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Maybe egg, is that?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Happy Jan is on to the final obstacle
0:09:42 > 0:09:45and in a pretty decent time too.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Oh, safely onto the block. Now comes the hard bit...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh! That was horrible.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Jan should try Heather's nose-pinching technique.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01Difficult to execute when you're about to do what she did.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Yeah, you see, you can't... It's tricky.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Despite taking that mighty wallop on the Shape Shifter,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10happy Jan completes the course in 4:28.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Well done, Jan.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Thank you.- No, thank you!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Excuse me, by the way. I did do a burp when I was under there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I'm glad to see you're still smiling, you're still laughing, still positive.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29That's right. Happy Jan. It's important to always see the funny side.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33You can stop seeing it now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Now, some pernicious little oiks
0:10:35 > 0:10:39have claimed that Total Wipeout is lowbrow in nature.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Being a man of class and stature,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I strongly refute such baseless accusations.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Would a lowbrow televisual programme contain Mozart?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50X-FILES THEME MUSIC
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Mozart. Would a lowbrow show feature great works of art?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00And would the next contestant on said lowbrow broadcast be a professor?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01And I do mean a proper one,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04not in some Noddy subject at a made-up university.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Here, at last, is someone to whom I can really relate.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12# Oh, give me a home where the Buffalo roam
0:11:12 > 0:11:15# And the deer and the antelope play. #
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Professor Lars, can you tell me how colossally massive is your brain?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Is it L, XL or XXL?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25They tell me it's XXL but, you know, the more I learn,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27the less I feel that I know.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30This clever professor lives in London and is the first
0:11:30 > 0:11:34contestant to tackle the qualifier in a tie-your-own bowtie.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Yeah, told you he was clever.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Oh, that bit wasn't so clever. No.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40How are you going to approach this?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Is it going to be scientific?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Absolutely. I'm going to use science to set a new course record.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50In quantum mechanics, you can never be sure where something is and how fast it's going.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55So I've calculated that I can finish the course before I start it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Professor Lars is about two-and-a-half minutes
0:11:58 > 0:12:00behind completing the qualifier
0:12:00 > 0:12:05before he'd started. And on to the giant protons of... Yeah, he's gone.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- I love your voice. - Thank you very much.- You're welcome!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- All right, let's go! - Come on, Professor Lars.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Yeah, let's go, Lars!
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Nothing is over until the clever professor says.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24OK, it's over. Definitely.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Who's next? Ah, 27-year-old model and make-up artist Emma, from Derby.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32# ..Nobody else but you... #
0:12:33 > 0:12:37What lengths would you go to to make sure that you win here today?
0:12:37 > 0:12:41A little brute force, maybe a bit of violence...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43DEEP DEMONIC VOICE
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Oh, Lordy! Emma is prone to the occasional temper tantrum.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Woe betide anything that stands in her way.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Time Tunnel, you may have met your match.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58She's through. She's in it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- She's... Oh!- Yeah, that's really brutish and violent(!)
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yeah, she's fighting the portals with her bottom and...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You don't want to make this girl angry!
0:13:08 > 0:13:12You won't like her when she's angry. Any minute now,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14irate Emma going to explode.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I've got a bit of fire in my belly.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Yeah, that's probably just the Argentinian cuisine.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Onto the Sucker Punch now. This will get it, you watch. Come on, Emma.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Show the sucker punch who's boss. Here we go.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Ow! Oh!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Irate Emma taking a big blow there to the dicky tummy.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40That's really going to make her cross, isn't it?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Making a meal of the mud,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43which will, of course, only serve
0:13:43 > 0:13:46to worsen that stomach complaint, I imagine.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50DEMONIC VOICE: I was born with pure determination.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- Come on, Emma. - What's wrong with your legs?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Time to see that determination. Channel that anger.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I want to see fireworks. You can do it!
0:14:02 > 0:14:03OK.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06She's up. Stand back, everyone. She's about to blow.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Oh! Less of a bang,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14more of a splosh for irate Emma.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18I'm beginning to wonder if this whole irate thing was made up.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Let's go to the leaderboard.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Professor Lars takes the top spot with Crash And Bernard
0:14:24 > 0:14:26and Annalane Mean Machine in second and third.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Happy Jan pushes Hooter- Holding Heather into fifth,
0:14:29 > 0:14:33whilst irate Emma will not be happy to find herself in sixth.
0:14:33 > 0:14:3514 contestants to go.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Currently languishing on the Unfair Stairs is Becky,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41a 22-year-old nurse from Cornwall.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47She's having a bit of a fight with these, but she is holding on.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Here we go. Oh, good swing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Onto the Time Tunnel. No-one's beaten this so far today.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Can she be the first?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Oh! Oh!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Oh. Becky hasn't come to Argentina alone.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05She's brought her little brother, Tom.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Needless to say, the two of them are fairly competitive.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12HE SCREAMS
0:15:12 > 0:15:17So, here comes Tom, onto the stairs. He's grabbed the rope low.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20But a great recovery.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Now, can he do better than Becky on the Time Tunnel? Here we go. Ooh.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Oh, well, he's remaining upright. He's through the first one.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31He didn't go through the second one.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34The time travel might not work. Oh, he's fallen off anyway.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39It's difficult. Becky to the Sucker Punch now.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Ow! Ooh, she's hanging on.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Gets squirted.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Takes one in the knee.
0:15:48 > 0:15:54Oh, she's a goner. Tiny Tom's on the Big Balls. Here we go... Great jump.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Oh, that could have been very good. But it sort of wasn't.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Big Becky's turn now. Here we go.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yes! Yes! Ooh!
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, she's on the second.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Can she make the third?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Come on, Becky.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Yes, that's it. She's going to do it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16This is looking good.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20A little stumble. She almost fell.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Gathering herself. Come on, Becky.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- She's on the fourth.- Hold tight!
0:16:27 > 0:16:28If she makes this jump,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32little brother Tom is not going to hear the end of it, ever.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Will we have our first ball-crosser of the series?
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Yes!
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Big Becky has showed her little brother Tiny Tom just how it's done.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Just the Shape Shifter to go. Can she finish in style?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46# ..Standin' on their own two feet
0:16:46 > 0:16:48# And ringin' on their own bells... #
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Oh, my God!- No, no.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53This race of the siblings is over.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Time for Amanda to tell them who was quickest.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- I got the balls!- Come on!
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Did you do the balls?- Oh, yes!
0:17:00 > 0:17:05I'm going to tell you... the sibling that was fastest...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- was Tom.- Yes!- Even with the balls?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11He didn't do the bigger ball! Yay!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Who's this?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I think it's a lady. No, no idea.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Oh! Whoever it is, she might be
0:17:18 > 0:17:21about to get across the balls.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26What a start to the new series that would...have been.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27That's a shame.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Ah! It's Cheryl. She's 44, but - wow - looking good!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Erm, yes, from every angle.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Cheryl is like Madonna, forever young.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I bet she can still get out of a chair without making a noise.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Onto the Shape Shifter.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44I reckon it's possible,
0:17:44 > 0:17:48but only if you're prepared to lose a leg or a head.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Less Madonna, more Magonna.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Next, it's Jade.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It says here she's a swimming pool duty manager,
0:18:03 > 0:18:05but I reckon she's a fashion designer.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Flappy orange socks definitely IN this year,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12even just one of them. Very fashionable.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Now, what can she do with the time tunnel?- Ooh!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Ah!- Ooh!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Mm!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Ooh!- Ah!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Oh!- Yeah.- Oh!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26What is it, some sort of merry-go-Jade?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Looks like Amanda's enjoying it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Yeah, yeah, yeah!- Maybe.- No, no, no.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! - Yeah!
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I don't want this to end, it's strangely hypnotic.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Oh, it's ended. I was enjoying that,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41could have watched hours of it.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Jade and her floppy orange sock taking a moment to show us
0:18:44 > 0:18:47what's hot for this summer.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Squirty-wirty Sucker Punch next.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52As an ex-rugby player, Jade shouldn't have a problem with this.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54She's used to the heavy hits and the mud.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Oh, perhaps not that heavy... or muddy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05This is salsa-dancing Gary.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09My hips can go that way, and that way,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12and do a bit of that as well.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17So, Mr Snake Hips, I hear you are Swansea's answer to Patrick Swayze.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You could say that, yes.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Wow, it's just like the original!
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Not that I've got it on Blu-ray, or DVD, or VHS.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29I've never seen it. The original of what? I don't know.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33Gary cha-cha-chas the Unfair Stairs. Here we go.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Ow! Ow! Ow!
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Gary does yoga to improve his flexibility,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41but that will have done nothing to improve anything.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43He fell down the stairs.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Onto the Sucker Punch now.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Gary teaches Zumba, which is dancing with lots of thrusting.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Thrust in, thrust out, brilliant.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Look at Gary go!
0:19:55 > 0:19:57OK, it's Big Ball time.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Here we go.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01One, two, this is good.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Yes, no, less good at the end there.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Gary wows the ladies of Swansea with his hypnotic dance moves.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- PARP! - Yes, perhaps that one, less so.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Gary has dropped his watermelons and now it's his time to shine.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21# ..And I owe it all to you
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- # I've had... # - Yep, here we go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Oh! I think his nose took the full brunt of that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Who's this chirpy chap?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36I'm going to assault this course!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Right-o, this is General Jon.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41He's not actually a general, or a soldier, but you get the idea.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44And Jon assaults the first Time Portal. He's through!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Ooh!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Oh, he gets assaulted by the second one. This is tricky, isn't it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53What are you going to do with that belly out on that course today?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I'm going to fight the big red balls with it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'm going to use it to get across them.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00You know, bounce on bounce kind of thing.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Here it is, the greatest battle of Jon's life. Bounce versus bounce.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Who will win?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Oh! Bounce did.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Definitely a lot of bounce just generally going on.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16What a battle!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sterling stuff!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27So, that was General Jon falling off things,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29but remember, he was only following orders.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Now, as I've already intimated tonight,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Total Wipeout is not all about muscle and brute strength. Oh, no.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37There's also a place here for the thinking man.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40We are, after all, a show for the intelligentsia
0:21:40 > 0:21:44so here are the people who really use their true mental agility
0:21:44 > 0:21:46to cross this course.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48What do you mean, do it again?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50..Yeah, I know. I saw it. I liked it!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The badger wasn't happy? Well...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54First, there's Akile, a government
0:21:54 > 0:21:57policy adviser. She's The Fixer.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Dan, IT guy, he's the Tech Wizard.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03And then there's Pritam, from Accounts,
0:22:03 > 0:22:04he deals with receipts.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07And if they work together, then maybe, just maybe,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09they can crack this course.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm scared!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Can I go home, please?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Having planned it out thoroughly,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17this is how you do the Unfair Stairs.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Oh!- Oh! Uh-oh!
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Akile's smart, she'll have thought this one through.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Oh! Good thinking, questionable execution.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33OK, I think Dan has got it.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Ah, well, if he had it, he's lost it and got it wet.
0:22:39 > 0:22:45Bonus points for hitting every step on the way down with his face.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Just a shame this show isn't about points...or dignity.
0:22:47 > 0:22:53Akile ploughs past the first portal, and then gets carried away.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Literally.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Pritam tries to hug the portal into submission.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Dan the IT guy decides to do some sort of skipping.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07New technique for a new obstacle. This could work.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Ah!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Nah, it didn't.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Akile approaches the Sucker Punch now. What's her policy?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oh, old school. Nice.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Pritam, from Accounts, approaches the Punch
0:23:23 > 0:23:25with a Clooney-esque swagger
0:23:25 > 0:23:27about him. Look at that.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Confident.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Oh! Yeah.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Digital Dan, the IT guy, on the Big Balls.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Oh, and he's crashed. Everything's gone down. We've lost the mainframe.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Akile now on a ladder.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Now off it. It's all part of the plan, they've thought this through.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53And Pritam...
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Digital Dan has a go on the Shape Shifter.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Oh, crashed again.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Another reboot.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07So Digital Dan finishes in 3:50.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Akile does it in 4:48.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12And Pritam...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Let's go to the leaderboard.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22So, Tiny Tom takes the top spot, with Gary Swayze in second.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Magonna Cheryl is fourth.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Big Sis Becky's in seventh.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30And holding on at the bottom, in joint 12th,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32is Akile the Fixer and Irate Emma.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Golden Boots, wrist things, is it Flash Gordon?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42No, it's Jamaican chef Tash.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Tash Gordon and the Time Tunnel, that kind of works.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Maybe she's the first one to... No, no, no. All tangled up.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Tash Gordon and the water of incurable illness, I suspect.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I hope she kept her mouth closed when she landed.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Can Tash Gordon defeat
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Sucker Punch, the Merciless?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Actually looking good here.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Maybe.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Oh... It's great to be back!
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Let's just see that again in replay.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Yeah, that punch actually made her leak some blue stuff.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Might need to see a doctor about that.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20This is Adam.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23He's a drama student and a member of the Circus Society.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26He's funny though!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Yep, oh, that's absolutely classic stuff.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Yes, I think Adam could have a promising career as a clown,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39but is he any good at drama?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Let's find out on the greatest stage of them all, the Big Balls.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Act one, two, and three.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46The end.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Still, at least he didn't need any motivation from the Motivator.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53As an amateur actor, Adam should know all about timing.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Can he use this knowledge to beat the Shape Shifter?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oh! No.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Adam finishes with a buttock-clenching combination
0:26:03 > 0:26:04of both circus and drama.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Crikey, who's this guy?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Looks like HE should be in the circus.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Oh, it says here he is.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14He's a professional circus performer, and very good.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Paul, can I assume that you go to work in ginormous checked trousers
0:26:17 > 0:26:21and wear a flower on your lapel that squirts water in people's faces?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23No, clowns freak me out a bit, to be honest.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Clowns freak YOU out?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27OK, moving on.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Here we go. Oh, it's a great swing.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36This is looking impressive. Time to jump through some hoops.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Professional Paul should be great at this.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Oh! It's a shame this is so tricky.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47I wanted to see some time travel, but it's impossible.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Never mind. It's Big Ball time. Come on, Paul. You're good at juggling.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Juggle these. Yeah!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I thought he was a circus performer!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- The circus has left town.- Obviously.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Last obstacle. Come on, Paul.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Let's see what you've got.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07He fell off a ladder. Some classic slapstick.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09He doesn't have time for this right now though.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11It was very funny and well executed, but get a move on!
0:27:11 > 0:27:13The Shape Shifter.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Will Professional Paul end with a bang or fizzle out with a whimper?
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Oh, it was a bang. Textbook stuff.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Like a great performer, he leaves his best trick till last.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28What a clown!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Paul the Professional hangs up
0:27:30 > 0:27:33his clown shoes with a time of 2:43.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36As all scientists know,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40the universe is made up of basic forces of the sub-molecular level.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44They are gravitational force, electromagnetic force,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46magic,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48good, and evil.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Of course, the most powerful of these forces are good and evil,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and for every good thing, there is an evil thing.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I, for example, am good.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Anchovies are evil.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01So, let's find out which force is better, on the Qualifier.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Good or evil.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05On the side of evil, she's a scientist
0:28:05 > 0:28:08so she's probably an evil scientist.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- It's Dr Evil Amanda.- I'm like a chemical reaction, ready to explode!
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Yeah, and she's talking about exploding.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Ooh.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Wow, that's evil.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24That is evil.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27And fighting the good fight is Ewan McGregor look-alike Chris.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29If you strike me down,
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I shall be more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
0:28:31 > 0:28:34He's a Star Wars obsessive.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36MAYPOLE DANCING MUSIC
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Yeah, that's from Star Wars, apparently.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I think it is.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44You can stop now.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Here comes Obi Chris Kenobi,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49on the side of all things good.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54That wasn't very good. Erring on the dark side.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Dr Evil Amanda's turn. Surely she can do better than that!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Well, it was certainly a better fall.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05She sort of did the splits upside down,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07which is probably very difficult.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Back to Chris, as he makes his way onto the Time Tunnel.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13May the force be with you.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17So far today, no-one has beaten these.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Can Chris be the first? Let's see how it's done.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21He is struggling.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Oh, he's dancing with it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Just run, man. It can't be that difficult!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28This is better. Yes! He's through three now.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31He's down. He's up again!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- That's it, Chris.- I love the... Oh.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Chris sensed victory, but all he got was a shove in the back
0:29:41 > 0:29:42and a whack on the head.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44It's thorough, isn't it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Dr Evil Amanda's turn on the Time Tunnel.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Good start.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Oh! Oh! She does the splits again.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53She's up. What's her time?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Picking her moment, goes for it. Yes!
0:29:55 > 0:29:57No, no, very no.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04So good and evil are drawing at the moment.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08It's back to Chris and the forces of good. What should he do here?
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Perhaps he should close his eyes
0:30:10 > 0:30:12and try to feel the force!
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Oh, well, he felt that.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20He did close his eyes, and he did feel A force.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Dr Evil Amanda not far behind and this is looking good.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Green and slimy, but good. Looking confident. Will evil triumph?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Ah. A bit.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39A rather tired, but still faintly heroic-looking Chris
0:30:39 > 0:30:42approaches the four giant red moons of Endor.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45One moon, two moon,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48and then too much gravity kicks in, ends in the water.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- What about Dr Evil Amanda? - Do it well, Amanda. Come on!
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Mind the Motivator, it's ready.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Is the Motivator actually switched on?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58Oh, we have a live one!
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Onto ball three. - That's it, that's a girl.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Oh, crikey.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Ball four. Can this actually...?
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Two in the first show?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Is this possible?
0:31:14 > 0:31:15A bit of a wobble.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Yes, she's across!
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Evil definitely pulled the pants over the head of good there.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Now, can she achieve Total Wipeout domination
0:31:25 > 0:31:27with success on the Shape Shifter?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29First one to do it. Come on.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Oh, you missed that completely.
0:31:33 > 0:31:34Yeah, just...
0:31:34 > 0:31:36well, hopeless.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43Will good succeed where evil failed? Generally does.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I'm feeling confident.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46No.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49I knew that was going to happen.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54Dr Evil Amanda qualifies with a time of 2:48. Very exciting.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I hope she didn't...
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Oh, she did. She did.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03And with that time, Obi Chris Kenobi scrapes into the top 12.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- What is that?!- I don't know. A Star Wars thing?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I've never seen a Jedi do that.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Wow, X-Wing fighters. Time for the final leaderboard.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17So, Tiny Tom still leading in first place,
0:32:17 > 0:32:21with Gary Swayze and Professional Paul in second and third.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24General Jon, Dr Evil Amanda and Magonna Cheryl
0:32:24 > 0:32:25are in fourth, fifth and sixth.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Followed by Amateur Adam, Professor Lars, and Tash Gordon.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Finally, Digital Dan finishes tenth,
0:32:31 > 0:32:35and sharing eleventh is Obi Chris Kenobi and Big Sis Becky.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39These are the 12 that go through to the next round.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41What a qualifier!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Two ball crossings, a professor, two circus performers,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46a brother and sister combo, and a badger with a courgette.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49And the good news is, there are three rounds still to come.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Things are just warming up. Time to say goodbye to the losers.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56No point dressing it up, they're losers. Goodbye.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03# Goodbye
0:33:06 > 0:33:08# Since you gotta go
0:33:08 > 0:33:12# Oh, you'd better go now
0:33:12 > 0:33:16# Go now, go now
0:33:16 > 0:33:18# Go now
0:33:18 > 0:33:22# Before you see me cry... #
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Back in the good old days, there was The Sweeper - it swept.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Then there was Crash Mountain - it crashed.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30But now it's time to make history once again
0:33:30 > 0:33:32because a new obstacle has arrived.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Hang on, I need a megaphone for this.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Thank you... For the first time ever on UK television...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Is this making me sound silly? No? All right.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46..ladies and gentlemen, I give you Double Cross!
0:33:46 > 0:33:47Dramatic.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Here's how it works -
0:33:55 > 0:33:58a giant rotating cross moves in one direction.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00A giant rotating sweeper moves in the other.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02To get to the finish podium,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04contestants must leap on to a green gangway
0:34:04 > 0:34:08and exit via the red gangway, without doing this.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12It's fast, it's ferocious, and it's flippin' difficult.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14The first six across qualify for the next round.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19Let's meet the double crossers. Fastest in the qualifier, Tiny Tom.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Becky, if you need a hand, just give me a shout.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Second quickest, Gary Swayze.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27In third place is Professional Paul.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30In fourth, General Jon.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34It's not hard to fly like an eagle when the rest of the contestants are frozen chickens!
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Then there's Dr Evil Amanda.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I'm the mighty atom - small, but full of energy!
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Yeah, not for long.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Bound to happen.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45She's followed by Magonna Cheryl.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Amateur Adam.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49And Professor Lars.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- Don't you mess-er with the professor!- OK!
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Ninth quickest to qualify is Tash Gordon.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Winners make it happen, losers let it happen!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Finally, it's Digital Dan.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Big sis Becky.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Little bro, that was first-time lucky. This time, watch me go!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Last, but not least, Obi Chris Kenobe.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12The force is strong in this one!
0:35:12 > 0:35:13PARP!
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Yeah, a little too much force there.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I can't think of a single reason not to love Double Cross.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25Except, of course, if I was one of the 12 contestants taking part.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Are you all ready?- YES!
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Fools, they know not what they say.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Three, two, one...!
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Early start from Lars,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41who's straight off. I mean, really very off.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46Professional Paul makes a dash. A great leap, he's in the centre.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Here comes Gary Swayze.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Oh, no, there he goes.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Bottom over elbow.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Here's Paul, he's done it!
0:35:58 > 0:36:00That was amazingly quick!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Trust Coco to get across first!
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Who's next? Digital Dan.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Oh, face smash!
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Amateur Adam now. He whimps out, he jumped.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Gary and his horrible shorts make it to the middle.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18He's got to wait now for that red gangway before he can get off.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21That's the thing. Ooh, Magonna Cheryl's joined him.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Red gangway coming round, here's Gary's chance. No!
0:36:25 > 0:36:29One step, no step, cha-cha-cha, splash.
0:36:32 > 0:36:38What is Cheryl doing? Is this a new form of Irish dancing?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Ah, just like Madonna in her Irish dancing phase.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Oh, Tiny Tom makes a bid for the middle.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47He's done it, so he's halfway there, he just has to get off.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51General Jon's made it, too. It's getting congested.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Getting into the middle seems to be easy,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56it's the other side they're aiming for using that red gangway.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Bodies flying everywhere.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01It's like a Double Cross party.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I'm not sure Adam's invited. He's struggling to stay on. Cheryl!
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Oh, she tried a valiant leap, but ended up a Magonner.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15That centre isn't big enough for the seven of them, it just isn't.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Becky tries, fails. Maybe her brother can show her how it's done.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25He's on the red one, that's different.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28But he's on the right gangway still. Oh, yes!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30No! I had an inkling something like that might happen.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Come on, guys!
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Someone really needs to take command.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- Is this an obstacle course, or a discussion show?- Go people, go!
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Magonna Cheryl again. No, no!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Dan needs a hand... Too late.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02It really is dog discusses dog up there.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Oh, General Jon starts leading the operation.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13It appears Tash is second in command.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Jon's turn.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Oh! Terrible timing.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Look, he salutes as he goes down - what an inspiration!
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Tash Gordon watching everyone else fall in from her comfy seat.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27It's so scary.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Cheryl's back again.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Chris tries to move them off with Jedi mind powers.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36He goes for it and messes it up.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39The force of gravity is strong with this one.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Tiny Tom's back, leaps the sweeper again. This could be...
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Oh, so close.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Do what Tom is doing. - What? He fell off!
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Cheryl doing what Tom is doing, but doesn't fall.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Thank the Lord!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Time for a curtain raiser. Very good.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Two are through to the next round. But we do need six.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14I'm sure they normally do that with slightly bigger skirts, don't they?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16I think she's happy.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Four places left in the next round.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Come on, you've got to get off that centre.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24What a surprise, Tash dishing out orders again.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Tiny Tom's had enough, he's off. I mean, really off,
0:39:32 > 0:39:33he hits the water again.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Go, Tash, now!
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Tash finally goes. Oh, what an anti-climax!
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I'll say it again, the centre is not big enough for the eight of them.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54But Becky's through! All of a sudden, it happened so quickly.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- Tom's not happy.- Come on, guys, you can't let a girl beat you!
0:39:57 > 0:40:01The pressure's on now, only three places left.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Oh, Digital Dan...face plant!
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Another go for General Jon and he's done it in style.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Well, he's done it.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14Two places left now - will they go to Obi Chris Kenobe,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Dr Evil Amanda, Gary Swayze, Digital Dan,
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Amateur Adam, Professor Lars,
0:40:20 > 0:40:23Tash Gordon or Tiny Tom?
0:40:23 > 0:40:28Well, Tiny Tom is trying his jumping technique again.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Millionth time lucky.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Here's Tash. Oh, now, that was not lucky.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38I should imagine he hates Tash more than his big sister right now.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Tom almost made it but with just one step to go,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Tash Gordon, well, say no more.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Adam off like a bullet, finishes like a winner.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53One more place.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58Will Tiny Tom get back to the middle in time?
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Oh, hang on, here's Gary Swayze, and he takes it. The final place is his.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09We have the final six. Tom is absolutely gutted.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15That took a long time, I thought they'd never leave the middle.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19In fact, they spent so long on there, I had enough time to go out
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and buy this pretend walking-stick and this fake beard.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- I look like ZZ Top. - ZZ who?- Who? Who?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28That was an epic battle, though,
0:41:28 > 0:41:31so let's remind ourselves of the poor souls who fell at the last hurdle.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36I think the foundations of science have been shaken to their knees.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40If Yoda was here now, I think he'd banish me from the Jedi temple
0:41:40 > 0:41:44and say something like, "Banished from the temple, you are."
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I tried so many times and just missed out.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47I'm really devastated.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Gutted. I'm still shaking.
0:41:52 > 0:41:53It's chaos.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Everybody screaming, you don't know whether to go left or right.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Unfortunately, I need to tweak my equations.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06When I'm walking down my local High Street,
0:42:06 > 0:42:10wearing my "I'm Richard Hammond, please ask me anything" sandwich board...
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I do do that, it's kind of a social networking thing.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14..people often ask me,
0:42:14 > 0:42:18"Why isn't there an obstacle on Total Wipeout that makes us scared?"
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I generally reply, "I'm sorry, I simply do not know."
0:42:21 > 0:42:23But today, you are in luck,
0:42:23 > 0:42:27because this next obstacle will give you the heebie-jeebies,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29which I always thought you got from drinking puddles,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31but apparently, it's not.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Prepare to be scared because you're about to witness Terror Go Round.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45The contestants must stay on the carousel
0:42:45 > 0:42:48whilst being pelted by two Argentinian fellas,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51the Terror Twins. Then come the fingers of fate.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Fail to hurdle these and they'll be knocked off the carousel
0:42:53 > 0:42:55and out of the game.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58There are three chances in three hair-raising heats, but each time,
0:42:58 > 0:43:02only the last one standing will qualify for the Wipeout Zone.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04You want drama? We've got drama.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07You want fear? We'll give you fear.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11You want to see a contestant slapped in the kisser with a big wet towel?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Please, allow me.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15It's Terror Go Round.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Are you all ready? ALL:- YES!
0:43:18 > 0:43:20Oh, dear. Three, two, one...!
0:43:20 > 0:43:24They've got no idea what they're in for.
0:43:24 > 0:43:25Neither do I, it's all new.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27The six terrors to go round are...
0:43:27 > 0:43:30the Welsh Patrick Swayze - Gary Swayze,
0:43:30 > 0:43:33a ray of light - Magonna Cheryl...
0:43:33 > 0:43:35I'm going to assault this course!
0:43:35 > 0:43:38..the ever-vocal General Jon,
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Amateur Adam providing some drama,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Big Sis Becky - you go, sister! And Professional Paul.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Will we be laughing at him, or with him?
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Time to unleash hell, well, inflatable hell.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52This week, it's a lifeguard-themed hell, so expect inflatables
0:43:52 > 0:43:56and possibly the odd flip-flop. Oh, and towels as well.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58A wet towel slapped in the kisser!
0:43:58 > 0:44:03So remember, the idea is to stay on your feet longer than everyone else.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07Here come the fingers of fate. Oh, fickle but fun!
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Oh, no!
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Gary Swayze gets lifted clean off his feet by the very first finger.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15Good strong arms, though.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18And he's off. One down, five still standing.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22Make that three still standing. Double disqualification.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Adam's over.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Becky's into the pool and out of this round.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Just Adam and Cheryl remain.
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Cheryl is down, back to her feet.
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Great recovery. Those inflatables really not helping now.
0:44:37 > 0:44:38Come on, girl!
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Oh, Adam's down, and so is Cheryl.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46Magonna Cheryl is well and truly a goner!
0:44:46 > 0:44:50The Terror Go Round has given Cheryl the finger in spectacular fashion.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53And with moves like that, Madge herself would be proud.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Yes, Amateur Adam is through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:44:59 > 0:45:03That's one spot in the Wipeout Zone taken, but we need two more.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07By a freak coincidence, there are two more heats of Terror Go Round.
0:45:07 > 0:45:08How lucky is that?
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Hang on, that's not a coincidence, that's been done on purpose.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Round two and the carousel starts carouselling.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19The terror twins don't waste any time either.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Cheryl's out in front, keen to meet those fingers of fate head on.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27In fact, all five of them looking comfortable.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Less so now with a wet towel on the head.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33HOOTER WAILS
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Oh, that sound isn't good.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37Here come the fingers!
0:45:37 > 0:45:40Oh, someone's down. And someone's hanging on.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42No, they're down, too.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Becky went down and Gary clung to the finger.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47It's no Wipeout Zone for them, not yet anyway.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Second finger sweep and Paul's in trouble.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55He cannot pass through the punch bags, or he's out of the game.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58No, Paul's gone.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Magonna Cheryl and General Jon just about jumped it,
0:46:00 > 0:46:02but it was too much for Paul.
0:46:02 > 0:46:07So, which of these two is going through to the Wipeout Zone?
0:46:07 > 0:46:10A bit of towel trouble for Jon. Over again.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12A little stumble, but he's back to his feet.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16Cheryl opting for the outer edge of the carousel.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18Oh, Jon's fallen.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21General disaster, but not for Magonna Cheryl,
0:46:21 > 0:46:24she's Ma-gonna join Adam in the Wipeout Zone.
0:46:25 > 0:46:28The Terror Go Round is pretty scary,
0:46:28 > 0:46:30but I know what would make it even scarier.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32This.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- IN DEEP VOICE:- On with round three! Hee-hee-hee... Oh.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37I just...
0:46:37 > 0:46:40This evil giggle thing, I can't do it... Ha-ha-ha!
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Ha!
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Boo!
0:46:44 > 0:46:47This is the last-chance saloon for Jon, Gary, Becky and Paul.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51What was that?!
0:46:51 > 0:46:54It's like a dinosaur with a duck's head - that's just freaky.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Here comes a whale.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Gary kicks a whale.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03I shouldn't be watching the inflatables, that's not the game!
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Any minute now, the fingers will start moving and the fun will start.
0:47:06 > 0:47:11Here they go! Paul steps over with ease.
0:47:11 > 0:47:12But the General's down.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Poor positioning from Jon, the bar gets very high there.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18He's out of Total Wipeout.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22And then there were three.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26Becky takes a stumble, great recovery.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27Oh!
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Ring on the head for Gary, but that's the least of his worries.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33That's good, Becky!
0:47:33 > 0:47:36This could be anyone's. Position is key here.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38- Oh, Becky's in trouble!- Oh!
0:47:38 > 0:47:40It looks like she just caught her leg on the finger
0:47:40 > 0:47:43and it lifted her up and out of the competition.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46So it's down to these two, Gary and Paul.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Gary takes a towel on the head.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Oh, a little stumble, but very little to choose between them.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57Oh, this is a two-horse race.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01Misses nothing, that girl. Both fighting for a place in the Wipeout Zone.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05Constantly running and jumping, these two have got to be tiring now.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09All it takes is one slip and that £10,000 prize sinks into the water.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12Still both in it.
0:48:14 > 0:48:15Oh, Paul's down!
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Oh, and as quickly as that, it's all over for Paul.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24Gary Swayze - exhausted, but happy.
0:48:24 > 0:48:28The Wipeout Zone trio is complete.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30But sadly, it's goodbye to these three.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32General Jon soldiered his way through,
0:48:32 > 0:48:34but lost his command on the Terror Go Round.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Professional Paul, a strong
0:48:36 > 0:48:38contender right from the start,
0:48:38 > 0:48:40but finally dropped the ball.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42And Big Sis Becky beat her brother
0:48:42 > 0:48:45to Terror Go Round, but joins him now
0:48:45 > 0:48:46on the losers' bench.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50It's all very moving, we will miss them.
0:48:50 > 0:48:54I say "we" - I'm not that fussed, really.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57I'll miss them in the sense that I'll be aware they're no longer there,
0:48:57 > 0:49:00but some of them get a bit clingy.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03Anyway, here are the Wipeout Zone finalists.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08I'm a fitness instructor, pole dance teacher
0:49:08 > 0:49:10and a jack of all trades, master of none.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13I think the other two think I'm a drama queen.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Drama is my life and I love it.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17I just love dancing, to be honest.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19It's what I do, I dance.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23I'm doing Total Wipeout for my Zumba girls back in South Wales.
0:49:23 > 0:49:26My two children at home - I'm doing this for you guys, I really am.
0:49:26 > 0:49:30I am the oldest. A lot of people wrote me off at the start.
0:49:30 > 0:49:33He has just surprised everybody.
0:49:33 > 0:49:34What is age anyway?
0:49:34 > 0:49:38- Cheryl is an absolute legend. - She's fit, flexible.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40I think Cheryl's my biggest contender.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43I've got Adam, he's a bit of a girl.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45In the qualifier, I was absolutely petrified.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47I fell off absolutely everything.
0:49:47 > 0:49:50He was a dark horse from the start.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53I am scared of heights and I am scared of water.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55There's no strength in those arms - nothing there.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57I don't exercise at all.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00Winning this would be such an achievement for me.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04This is going to be one of those surreal achievements
0:50:04 > 0:50:06where you just think, did that really happen?
0:50:06 > 0:50:09I can win this tonight.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11If I'm honest, I don't think I stand a chance,
0:50:11 > 0:50:14but I've fluked it this far, why can't I fluke it further?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16I don't want to be the last man standing,
0:50:16 > 0:50:18I want to be the last man dancing.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22I might love my fellow finalists, but I still want to smash 'em!
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Actually, I'm going to!
0:50:30 > 0:50:32It's back with a vengeance.
0:50:32 > 0:50:35The Wipeout Zone begins with a slide and splash.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Then it's the rapid climb, seriously slippy,
0:50:38 > 0:50:41followed by the see-saw of truth, seriously tippy.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44Onto the crazy sweeper, seriously injury.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47Then there's the turntables with the all-new pillars of no return.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50Once through, there's no going back.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Seriously, are we allowed to do this to people?
0:50:52 > 0:50:55It all ends at the push of a button and the stop of a clock.
0:50:55 > 0:50:59Winner takes home a worthy £10,000 and a worthless trophy.
0:51:00 > 0:51:04It's a warm evening, the flames are roaring behind me
0:51:04 > 0:51:09and the competition - that's absolutely sizzling.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13It's the Wipeout Zone and Gary is the first to brave it.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Dance teacher Gary is the first
0:51:17 > 0:51:20to take on the challenge of the Wipeout Zone this series.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24Let's dance!
0:51:24 > 0:51:27No can do, Gary, I dance alone.
0:51:32 > 0:51:37Gary's off. Hits the water... and gulping for air.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Better keep that mouth closed, as he approaches
0:51:40 > 0:51:42the torrents of the rapid climb.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Once on his feet, there's just ten seconds
0:51:45 > 0:51:48before the tidal wave will attempt to wash him away.
0:51:48 > 0:51:53See him cha-cha-cha all the way up this ramp.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55He's up and the clock starts.
0:51:55 > 0:51:59That's the first cha, second cha,
0:51:59 > 0:52:00and the third cha.
0:52:00 > 0:52:05Pretty quick stepping and no tidal wave for Gary, good work.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Onto the see-saw of truth. A cautious start.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13His dance training must surely be a bonus here.
0:52:15 > 0:52:16But that was fairly slow.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Being very cautious.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Remember, Gary is setting the time to beat.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22The crazy sweeper next.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24- Oh, he ducks.- Come on, Gary!
0:52:24 > 0:52:27He has certainly not got speed on his side,
0:52:27 > 0:52:30but slow and steady could still win this race.
0:52:30 > 0:52:31Up again, just a few steps to go
0:52:31 > 0:52:33and the sweeper is catching up behind him.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35He's not going to make it.
0:52:35 > 0:52:37Oh, he's made it!
0:52:37 > 0:52:39OK, the final phase - turntables.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42Gary is on to the first, no problems there.
0:52:42 > 0:52:47Apart from maybe losing his sense of direction. No, he's out.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Oh, that could have done it for Gary!
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Having been so cautious around the rest of the course,
0:52:55 > 0:52:58maybe he just rushed that last jump.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01It's the climbing that loses them time.
0:53:01 > 0:53:02The final leap coming up.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Every ounce of strength gone
0:53:04 > 0:53:08and Gary Swayze completes the course in 2:24.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Swansea's answer to Swayze. Nobody puts Gary in the corner!
0:53:12 > 0:53:16Your time was a brilliant 2:24.
0:53:16 > 0:53:17Not bad, not bad.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Gary, you know what this means, yours is the time to beat
0:53:20 > 0:53:22and Cheryl's up next. Let's watch.
0:53:23 > 0:53:28Playing the Pain Stage of the Total Wipeout Festival, it's Cheryl.
0:53:30 > 0:53:34KLAXON WAILS
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Remember, Cheryl has no idea how fast Gary was.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46All she can do is get round this as fast as she can.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Strong swim.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53She emerges onto the rapid climb
0:53:53 > 0:53:58and a ten-second tidal wave countdown begins.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Ooh! Fitty McFit!
0:54:00 > 0:54:02- Yes.- Wow! >
0:54:02 > 0:54:05Successfully avoided the tidal wave.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Really not far off Gary's time at this stage.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Cheryl taking this faster.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14Oh, no!
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Get up! Back on her feet.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17Time now to face the crazy sweeper.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22She picks her moment, off she goes.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Hurry, it's catching up.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Oh! That was too close for comfort!
0:54:26 > 0:54:28For the good of my health and her time,
0:54:28 > 0:54:31she can't let that happen again. Come on!
0:54:31 > 0:54:33Come on! Oh, no!
0:54:33 > 0:54:35No! Tragedy!
0:54:35 > 0:54:37I'm sure Gary's pleased with that.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39She didn't stand a chance.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42Absolutely knocked off her feet by the sweeper.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44She climbs onto the turntables.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46Cheryl's neck and neck with Gary's time.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49If she doesn't fall, she could well beat him.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52First jump, safely on. The hard one is the next one.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Here we go. Oh, no! She slipped!
0:54:55 > 0:54:56My God, my God, my God! >
0:54:56 > 0:54:58I don't think she can pull herself up.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01I don't know if I can bear to watch. She's done it.
0:55:01 > 0:55:02Just two more leaps to go,
0:55:02 > 0:55:05but look at those clocks - the times are almost identical.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07Great jump.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11Gary's time was 2:24. This could not be any closer.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13And she's done it, 2:24.
0:55:13 > 0:55:14A draw.
0:55:14 > 0:55:19This calls for the hallowed Total Wipeout rulebook.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21Right, if there is a draw on a Wipeout zone,
0:55:21 > 0:55:24for split-second accuracy,
0:55:24 > 0:55:27go to the bloke with the really clever digital stopwatch.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33Apparently, they've found him. In which case, it's back to Amanda.
0:55:33 > 0:55:39I cannot believe what has happened here. This is a Total Wipeout first.
0:55:39 > 0:55:45The fastest by 44 one hundredths of a second...
0:55:48 > 0:55:50..is Cheryl!
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Hard luck, Gary.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55CROWD CHEERS
0:55:55 > 0:55:57Well done.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00Oh, my goodness! You couldn't write it, Cheryl.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03I'm just so gobsmacked. That's mad, isn't it?
0:56:03 > 0:56:06Listen, it's not over yet, Adam's up next. Let's watch.
0:56:06 > 0:56:07I know. Thank you.
0:56:10 > 0:56:14Adam has no idea what happened with Gary and Cheryl.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17All he's worried about is getting the best time he can.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20KLAXON WAILS
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Things just got serious for the drama student.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33Swimming against the current now to the rapid climb.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37He told me he does not like water.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41A fear of open water is not on the list of things I'd look for
0:56:41 > 0:56:45in a Wipeout Zone challenger, but Adam's up and onto the rapid climb.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48Will he beat the tidal wave?
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Looking good. Oh, yes, smooth run so far.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53The seesaw of truth now.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55Taking his time getting onto it,
0:56:55 > 0:56:58but rushing into it rarely pays dividends.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02Surely some of Adam's circus skills will be handy here.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04Inches towards the tipping moment.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06There it is, he's still on.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11Oh! Oh, no, he's safe. Adam needs to pick up the pace now,
0:57:11 > 0:57:13if he's going to beat 2:24.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16He's off. It's a good run.
0:57:16 > 0:57:19An early duck, but he's quickly back up and running again.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21This is looking good.
0:57:21 > 0:57:25But that sweeper arm is catching up fast.
0:57:25 > 0:57:26He's beaten it, just!
0:57:27 > 0:57:29If Adam can make these turntables,
0:57:29 > 0:57:31I think he's in with a shot at that title.
0:57:31 > 0:57:33It's a good first jump.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35Whoa!
0:57:35 > 0:57:37Careful not to get disorientated here. He's made it across!
0:57:37 > 0:57:40Just one turntable to go, and his time is nearing two minutes.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42Come on, Adam.
0:57:42 > 0:57:44One final jump, can he do it?
0:57:44 > 0:57:47Do not fall now.
0:57:47 > 0:57:51Yes! The clock stops at 1:55.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54And what a fantastic start to the new series that's been.
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Come on out, little fella. How are you doing?
0:57:58 > 0:58:00Fantastic.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02God got me through that completely.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04It is a competition and only one of you can win,
0:58:04 > 0:58:07only one of you can pick up this trophy.
0:58:07 > 0:58:08So take this trophy from me now,
0:58:08 > 0:58:11the Total Wipeout champion tonight is Adam!
0:58:13 > 0:58:15Hard luck, Cheryl.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:58:18 > 0:58:22So Adam Parker, the 21-year-old performing arts student
