0:00:46 > 0:00:50today's Total Wipeout has had to sell some airspace to advertisers.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57getting in the way of proceedings. Oh, no!

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Over to Amanda Byram.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Joining me now at the top of the Qualifier is amateur actor,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Sean, from Hackney. Hello, Sean.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51But more importantly, hello, Sean's hair!
0:01:51 > 0:01:52# Je t'aime
0:01:52 > 0:01:54# Oui, je t'aime... #
0:01:54 > 0:01:57What do your family think of you being here?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Well, my oldest daughter,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01she doesn't want me to do my disco dancing feet.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02# Boogie nights... #
0:02:02 > 0:02:05That's like my dancing. That's not embarrassing. Yeah!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- # Boogie nights... # - WOLF WHISTLE
0:02:07 > 0:02:09So, Sean's the first contestant
0:02:09 > 0:02:11to take on the Qualifier today.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I'm doing this for all the over-40s with their own hair!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Grow it like you just don't care!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- RICHARD LAUGHS - OK, well, he's off.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Oh, don't get the hair wet!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Do not spoil that hair! Too late.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Let's take a quick peek at today's first obstacle, shall we?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27The game is simple.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Get from one side to the other without busting your bonce.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32On that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Or that. It's Bonce Busters!
0:02:36 > 0:02:40So the hair is wet, but will it protect his bonce?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Here we go.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, no! Bonce busted!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It does that.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48He took a right old knock on the bonce!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And that's Bonce Busters!
0:02:53 > 0:02:57He went in head first. Then again, he probably is quite top-heavy.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59He'll have got the hang of this by now, though.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Second time lucky. Here we go.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Ooh! Double bonce busted!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10His kids might not like his dancing,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12but check out these moves! Yes!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Sucker Punch!
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Sean is an amateur actor,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19but his hair is also quite famous.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Apparently, it's appeared in TV commercials. I don't know what for.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23And it's not going to help him here.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ooh!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Oh! Yep...
0:03:29 > 0:03:33# D-I-S-C-O... #
0:03:33 > 0:03:35M-U-D-D-Y.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Let's hope his hair gets more respect from these bouncy fellas.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44The Big Red Balls.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Time for Sean to show us his real moves. Come on!
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Yeah...oh-ho!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Now that's what I call Dad Dancing!
0:03:52 > 0:03:53His hair is weighing him down!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Probably carrying twice his own bodyweight in wet hair.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Time to reveal today's final obstacle.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03The dreaded Shape Shifter.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07It's had many faces, but be afraid, because today, it has...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10a plank. Just a plank?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13OK. I give you the Plank Shifter!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15And here's Afro Sean to demonstrate it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Come on, Sean. Let's see those fancy feet!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Ooh, hang on! He's doing well!
0:04:21 > 0:04:22I think...is that well?
0:04:22 > 0:04:23No, maybe not.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Still, a great performance for Afro Sean.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28That's Sean there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Just to the left of the hair.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Sean finishes in 3:51,
0:04:35 > 0:04:39and now he'll need to take that barnet through a carwash.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Ooh! Oh, yeah!
0:04:41 > 0:04:4319 contestants still to come.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46But now, time for a quick commercial break.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Do you long for a full head of luxurious hair?
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Then you need the...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55# Whoa, Hair Marmalizer
0:04:55 > 0:04:56# Take a look at my hair... #
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Use of the Hair Marmalizer can lead to skin burns and baldness.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Should not be used on hair.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Welcome back to Total Wipeout.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06I might be a princess, but I don't need no prince on a horse,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08cos I'm going to rock this Wipeout course!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12OK, this is professional dancer, Fern, from Norwich.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14With an unusual warm-up routine.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17# Here's my handle, here's my spout... #
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Well, off she toddles.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Ooh-hoo-hoo! That was a shin-plant! That's got to hurt!
0:05:23 > 0:05:27# Lift me over, pour me out. #
0:05:27 > 0:05:30She's on her feet now, though. Time for Bonce Busters.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Come on, Fern.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Dance your way across this!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- SHE SQUEALS - Oh!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Light on her feet, but heavy on her face!
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Ooh, now that IS a dance move!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43The old limbo going on there.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Out of the water sharpish.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I really hope that doesn't happen again.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh, well!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- AMANDA GIGGLES - That's not even funny!
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I beg to differ!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59This is definitely funny!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05What singy, dancey, bouncy-aroundy jobs have you done, then?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I actually worked in Disneyland Paris
0:06:07 > 0:06:12as The Little Mermaid, Ariel, for a year.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16So, will The Little Fern-maid make it across the Plank Shifter,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19or will she end up under the sea?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Oh, er...under the sea. Yeah...
0:06:22 > 0:06:27She mer-made a massive miscalculation and jumped too far.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Shame!
0:06:29 > 0:06:35And this fishy tale comes to an end in just 3:10.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Princess power! Woo!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Well, give me a princess wave goodbye to the Qualifier, won't you?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- 'Course! - SHE GIGGLES
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Who is this line dancing fan?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Yee-ha!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51My idol is Clint Eastwood.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I've got the American brawn...
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Er, sorry, I got that wrong.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Clint Eastwood fan. Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Is that from Dirty Harry? No.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01..and I'm going to just go through that course like butter.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Woo-hoo! Yee-ha!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Yeah, I really haven't seen Dirty Harry do that.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Little doggies!- Little doggies?!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Tristan runs an acting agency.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Will that help make his day on the Bonce Buster?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Oh! Possibly not!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Still, a masterclass for his clients.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Come on, Tristan!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yeah, come on, Tristan!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Do America proud!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I don't think they'll care. Oh!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38He's certainly going to be saddle sore in the face after that!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41So, you'll be modelling yourself on Clint, then?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43OK, Balls. Do you feel lucky?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Well, do ya?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I doubt they do, really.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49They're just made of foam and rubber.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Anyway, is it time for Dirty Tristan to get a cleaning?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That is it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03RICHARD CHUCKLES
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Finally, it's the Plank Shifter, and the question is,
0:08:13 > 0:08:14do you feel lucky, plank?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Well, do you?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Oh...no. He fell in!
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Ha-ha!
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Do you know what? That plank is in fact quite tricky, after all.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I'll give it that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Maybe this guy can do better.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Meet 37-year-old Ricki from London.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Ricki is a singer-songwriter and lives for music.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34HE BREAKS WIND
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I'll name that tune in one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Ricki Blunt on the plank,
0:08:41 > 0:08:43waiting for some inspiration.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Oh, that is eye-watering!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Next song will be falsetto.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Now he's upside down. Now he's not. - AMANDA GIGGLES
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Go on, Ricki! Make the jump!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- He can't! He's still going round! - RICHARD GIGGLES
0:08:57 > 0:09:00This wasn't in the plan! Go on, Ricki, compose yourself!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Oh...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07He's going to be walking funny for weeks!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Good jump, bad landing. That's what got him.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Let's hope it hasn't finished his singing career.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And he completes the course in 3:22.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Time for one of Ricki's songs.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23HE ADOPTS HIGH-PITCHED VOICE: # If I were a boy
0:09:23 > 0:09:26# I think I would understand... #
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Oh, yeah, it's got something.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29It's catchy. Yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Ricki Sings The Blues.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34CD box set comes free with every purchase of Hammond's Happy Cola.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'm so excited!
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I saw an advert on the telly for this, and it's finally arrived!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42My Hair Marmalizer!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I think this is going to be the best £1,200 I've ever spent!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Could someone plug me in?
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Right, what happens when you add sport to girls?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You get...girly sport?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00No, no. That can't be right. No.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Let me run through the equation again. Right, I've got it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You get...sporty girls!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Meet sporty girl one
0:10:07 > 0:10:09and sporty girl two.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11AKA Amy and Robin.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14This is trampoline coach, Amy, doing what she does best.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Sport.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Some speed in those little legs!
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Ooh!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Just one word...wowzers!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And wowzers again!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26And here's student, Robin, doing what she does best.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Also, sport.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32SHE SQUEALS
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Oh, I don't think boxing is her best sport!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37She's probably better at one of the other sports.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Amy again. Will she have a sporting chance on the Big Balls?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Here we go. First, second, third.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Hang tight! Hang tight! Hang tight!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50You can do it!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Oh! Oh!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The fourth one! I've said it before, and I'll say it again, wowzers!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58And again, wowzers!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01That's not only a win for Amy,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04it's also a win for sporty girls in general!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Now, to follow that success,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08on the... Oh, no! Oh!
0:11:08 > 0:11:14That's just a tiny slip for Amy in a relatively flawless run.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Here's sporty girl, Robin.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Time to shine.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Ooh, that's a good bit of shining. In fact, it's very good.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Just needs to get the timing right now.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Hang tight, Robin! Hold on! Hold on!
0:11:28 > 0:11:29OK, get yourself together!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Perfect! Sporty girl, Robin, finishes in 2:40.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35That IS gusto!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39But that's not as good
0:11:39 > 0:11:42as sporty girl Amy's INCREDIBLE 1:28.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That's double wowzers! I'm wowed out!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Time for a leaderboard.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54So, sporty girls rule in first and second,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56with Dirty Tristan in third.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Then it's Little Fern-maid, Ricki Blunt,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and in sixth place, Afro Sean.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Aargh!- Who's this clown?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07And why is he so angry?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09HE GROWLS
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Yeah, all right! All right!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Is that real?- Yeah!
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- MOUSTACHE:- 'Aargh! Get off!'
0:12:14 > 0:12:15- Ooh!- All real.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Oh, my goodness! Are your whiskers going to be
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- a help or a hindrance today? - A help. They're going to help me fly.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- They're like wings. MOUSTACHE:- Wings!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- They have mighty powers. - 'Mighty powers!'
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Are you just saying that?- Yep. - 'No, he isn't!'
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So Andy and his talking moustache prepare for battle.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Some night run, and some might dash,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36but I have the power of the mighty moustache!
0:12:36 > 0:12:37'Hooray!'
0:12:38 > 0:12:41OK. He looks like something from a silent movie.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yeah, not so silent when he screamed.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- 'Whee!'- Oh, that's not good for Andy.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48But his moustache is loving it! Look!
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Andy and his moustache approach the Bonce Busters.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Yeah, nice view from Tash Cam. They can get cameras anywhere these days.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Here we go!
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Oh, no, he's down!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Ooh, he's back up again. Second attempt.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- Oh, no, no. He has gone. - SHE GIGGLES
0:13:08 > 0:13:11As you can probably tell from his quirky get-up,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Andy is an IT manager.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17No, but it was actually quite good!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Still managed a comedy slide, though. That'll do!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Well, Andy dresses like a Victorian boxer,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27but will that help him beat those fierce pistons?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29It's the daring young man on the punching machine.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Why don't you hang on with your whiskers?!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Oh, incredible technology! It feels like I'm actually there!- 'Aargh!'
0:13:35 > 0:13:37BELL RINGS
0:13:37 > 0:13:39And Andy is across.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42A bit slimy, but across.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So time for Andy to walk the plank.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48He's going for the square window and...
0:13:48 > 0:13:49oh, no! Not good.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52Moustache is all wet.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Despite that hefty wallop,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Andy-bar Moustache completes the course in 2:90.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Yeah!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Yep, I see that you've made it to the end of the course,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07but this little fella didn't quite make it, did he?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- 'Yes, I did!'- A little bit limp, but...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11it'll be OK.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13This is psychology student, Ellen,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and once, she did something silly.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19On holiday last year, I swallowed a spoon.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- I'm sorry, what? - I swallowed a spoon.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- An actual, whole, metal spoon?- Yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27That's nothing. I swallowed a ladle once.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29And a cheese grater.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Ooh!
0:14:30 > 0:14:33THEY LAUGH
0:14:33 > 0:14:34In mid-air at the time!
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Ellen almost swallowing a Bonce Buster there!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41OK, well, she's back on!
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Oh, well, she's back on for a few milliseconds!
0:14:45 > 0:14:46What's wrong with her?!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53The spoon swallower must now take on the Sucker Punch.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Not with a spoon in her mouth right now.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57That would be disastrous!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Ellen taking a huge hit there
0:15:01 > 0:15:02right in the lower spoon area.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09And so, a slightly muddy Ellen charges towards the big red balls.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Let's hope she doesn't swallow one of these.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Even by her standards, that'd be difficult. They'd get stuck.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Here we go.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18One, two, three. Steady now, Ellen!
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Help!- Hang on, hang on, hang on.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I can't take this!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25No way! Yes!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29The spoon swallower transforms into a ball crosser.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Can she round this off in style?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Into the triangle!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Oh, she's making a muddy mess, but she's still on.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38No, no, no, no, no!
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Oh...
0:15:39 > 0:15:41MUSIC DISTORTS AND FADES
0:15:42 > 0:15:45No-one can take away the fact that Ellen has joined
0:15:45 > 0:15:47the ball-crossing elite.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Two minutes, eight seconds. She will be sticking around today.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51SHE CHEERS
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Next is chimney sweep, Nick, and he's brought his brush.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57# Je t'aime... #
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Here we go again.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02# Je t'aime... #
0:16:02 > 0:16:05# Chim-chiminey, chim-chiminey, chim chim cher-ee... #
0:16:05 > 0:16:09That was my best Dick Van Dyke impression, Nick. What do you think?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I wondered what you were doing, actually.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Was it not good?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- It didn't look a lot like Dick Van Dyke.- Is that not what you do?
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- Er, no. No.- Oh.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Er, that IS what you do, you're doing it now.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Chimney sweeps are supposed to be lucky,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27so surely Nicholas will be OK today? I imagine.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Yes.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31See? Oh!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37That will probably be his only bit of bad luck today though, I'm sure.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Otherwise, they are very lucky.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Nicholas to the Sucker Punch, and here comes his luck.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51No, that's unlucky. Yes, didn't even get on the ledge.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52That's got to be a first.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I've never seen anyone as unlucky, he never got started.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Lucky Nicholas heads for the big balls.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I think his fortunes are about to change.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Yes, yes... - HE SCREAMS
0:17:07 > 0:17:08OK then. Maybe not right now.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Any minute now, his luck is going to kick in. Isn't it?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17They're not lucky are they, chimney sweeps? It's a lie.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Final obstacle for Lucky Nicholas.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22On the plank, aiming, I think, for the triangle.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Yes! No. Unlucky.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Maybe if it was chimney-shaped, he'd have been OK.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31It was straight up, job done.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And, ahem, Lucky Nicholas' time is two minutes and 22.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36How lucky was that?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40To be honest, I'd say more plucky than lucky, but well done.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Look, Mr Mop, I know you've fallen in love
0:17:43 > 0:17:44and that's a beautiful thing.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The fact is, it will never work.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Sorry, mate. Out of your league. Just give up hope.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54That was hard to break it to him. It's heartbreaking.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- BEEPING - Oh, hang on. I'm done.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Right, who's next?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00So, how do I look? Do I look hot?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yes? Does it show off my jaw?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Yes, does it? Oh yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Meet Janeice.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I would say I'm quite the most talkative person ever.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Now, meet Anna Marie.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I just like messing about with things.- And now meet Craig.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I heard all your friends call you Belly and I think that's plain mean.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26And if you combine Janeice's mouth, Craig's belly and Anna Marie's feet,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29you get the ultimate, super, uber contestant.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Craig, The Belly, begins.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37Oh. And another great start for the uber contestant.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Does anyone else think the nickname "Belly" is a bit harsh?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Shall we wind that in a bit?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Come on, belly! - Obviously not Amanda.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Belly it is then, that'll work. OK.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53So, now to the feet. Feety Anna Marie at the bonce busters.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Yes, her feet weren't quick enough.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59So, now the mouth.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Mouthy Janeice loves nothing more than a mouthful of cheesy pizza.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09SHE SCREAMS
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Oh, but now she's enjoying a below the belt knuckle sandwich. Ouch.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Belly Craig finding obstacles where there weren't supposed to be any.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I shall christen this one The Mud Rope.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Yes! Craig has beaten The Mud Rope,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28that really isn't an obstacle.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Can podiatrist Anna Marie's feet carry her over the balls?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38No. Might come in handy with swimming, though.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Big mouth to the balls.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Yes! No.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Janeice gets a gob full of water.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And Belly versus the big balls. Here we go.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54HE SCREAMS
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Aw. Emphatic victory for the balls.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03So, the various parts of the uber-contestant finish.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Help, help!
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Well, nearly.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Get me down.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Let's see where that gets them on the leaderboard.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Sporty girl Amy still holds top spot,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15with spoonful-of-Ellen now in second,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17and Andy-bar moustache in third.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Further down, is lucky Nicholas,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and dirty Tristan.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Still hanging on in ninth is Afro Sean,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24and, look, the uber-contestant
0:20:24 > 0:20:26fills up the last three spaces.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Maybe not so uber after all. Eight still to go.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Joining me, now, at the top of the qualifiers,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33is the very lovable Ben from Fordingbridge in Hampshire,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36who's a wildlife and conservationist student.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So, are you bit more of a Bill Oddie, Ben,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41or are you a bit more Crocodile Dundee?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I'm definitely Crocodile Dundee, because I'm always looking at
0:20:44 > 0:20:49things in a fast-paced environment, deep in the countryside of Hampshire.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Yeah, well, it's a hostile place, that Hampshire countryside.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Highly dangerous badgers, apparently, and a ferret, once.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Now, Ben leaps...
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Oh, no!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03And gets Bonce Busted. Conserve that!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Crocodile Ben-dee ends up in the Billabong.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I'm guessing that was quite painful.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Sucker Punch, now, almost as deadly as the Hampshire countryside.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Oh, in the Bill Oddie!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Ben gets a close-up look at some Argentine pond life.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Don't touch anything.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Crocodile Ben-dee is used to danger, so he won't fear the balls.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Oh, no. What's that?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Crocodiles aren't even indigenous to Buenos Aires, are they?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34No, Ben, don't!
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Stay out of the water! Don't...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Bad, horrible, worrying.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45ROAR
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Ah, well. Who's next? This is Nics from Sheffield.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51She works in the family business, with her father and brothers.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55You better watch out, when these Sheffield buns of steel are about!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57# This is a man's world... #
0:21:57 > 0:21:59OK, so Nics works in a man's world.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Can she man up to the Bonce Buster?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03# This is a man's world... #
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Oh, that was right on the bonce.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07It is unerringly accurate, isn't it?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09But she is still smiling, bless her.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Or was that a grimace? It's a grimace.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Nics is a keen hockey player -
0:22:12 > 0:22:16how keen will she be at pneumatic boxing glove dodging?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Yes... Oh. Well, it was her first go.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Takes another smack, but she's still got a grin on her face,
0:22:25 > 0:22:26as well as some blue ink.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Right, the big balls.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Come on, Nics.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Yes, come on, jolly hockey Nics.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Here we go.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Oh, oh! Good try, though.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37# This is a man's world... #
0:22:37 > 0:22:39And let's check. Yes, still smiling.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Great jump, and a wonderful dive.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44And all with a jolly grin on her face.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50This is Anna from Bradford, and she works for an energy company.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55I'm Anna, and I'm going to open a can of whoopass on this course!
0:22:55 > 0:22:56No, don't do that!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Oh. I didn't expect whoop-ass to be that colour.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Can Anna open another can of whoop-ass here?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Oh.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Forgot her can opener, maybe.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Those balls really sent her whoop-ass over whoop-elbow.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20She needed to be better at jumping.
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Now, this is Dennis.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24He works in an office in Slough, and, as luck would have it,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26says here, he's good at jumping.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27How good are you at jumping?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Four steps on the office stairs, yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Dennis is originally from Russia,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38and with those jumping skills
0:23:38 > 0:23:40he should have no problems here. Yes.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Oh, yeah, big balls are tougher
0:23:47 > 0:23:48than office stairs.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Them Russians, they're really roughty-toughty.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Should your comrades be afraid of you today?- They should be.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Some Russians are roughty-toughty, some are smart,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- and I think I'm both.- Hey!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Well, smartness and roughty-toughtyness are both
0:24:03 > 0:24:04required to beat the Plank Shifter.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Come on, office Dennis!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I have high hopes for Dennis.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Yes, oh yes. So have I.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15He goes for the circle. Oh!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Well, that was a roughty-toughty landing.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, he got through it. That was pretty clever.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27# I got no strings to hold me down...#
0:24:27 > 0:24:30This is Lisa. She's a puppeteer, and that's her puppet, Vincent, on the left.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Who should I talk to today, then, Lisa? You, or Vincent?
0:24:33 > 0:24:34You should talk to me, Amanda.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I have no idea who this lady is, she's been following me ever
0:24:37 > 0:24:38since I arrived in Argentina.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Now, that is good. - It's true, I tell you,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43and I intend to take out a restraining order on her.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48This is primary school teacher Daniel, with his puppet, Mr Dukesberry.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I bet he's good, as well.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- Hello there, Amanda, how are you? - I'm very well, thanks, Mr Dukesberry.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, I think I saw his lips moving.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Do you know, if you give me a kiss, I'll turn into a prince.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Go on, one on the smackers.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Now, that's more like it. Amazing!
0:25:07 > 0:25:09So, Lisa, minus Vincent, is off.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14See what happens when you've got use of both hands?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15Yes.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Now approaching the Bonce Buster.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Feeling of dread.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Ouch! No strings on this girl, and no flies on her either.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25She's in the water.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26# ABC, easy as... #
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Now, Daniel faces 22 boxing glove puppets.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Well, just boxing gloves, really.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33A punch, but where's the Judy? Sorry!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35# We don't need no education... #
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Teachers getting hit in the face. That's broken Britain for you.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Here comes Daniel to teach the balls a lesson.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Oh, he missed out ball two.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Was that the lesson?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Now, no strings Lisa faces the Sucker Punch.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Just don't face it too closely, Lisa.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Ow! In the shin!
0:26:01 > 0:26:03That was a low blow.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09SHE SCREAMS
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Meanwhile, Daniel faces the Plank Shifter.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15The plank, straight in!
0:26:15 > 0:26:19That was close! A valiant 10 out of 10 for effort, there.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Not seen that done before.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25And, Daniel finishes in exactly two minutes.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27is teaching assistant frog will be proud.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30And as no strings Lisa finishes,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33will that be enough to make the top 12?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I can't help feeling that this otherwise classy
0:26:35 > 0:26:38and thought-provoking television programme has been
0:26:38 > 0:26:41trivialised by the presence of hand puppets, and I am sorry.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44It just makes the whole show look, I'm going to come out and say it,
0:26:44 > 0:26:45a bit silly.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Don't you agree, Mr Mop?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Yes, it does. Right, it's time for our penultimate contestant.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Ah, anyone for tennis?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59This is tennis coach, Helen.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Oops!
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Looking closely on the replay,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06we can see the exact moment that it all goes wrong.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Which is there. Yeah, that's a foot fault.
0:27:08 > 0:27:0915 love to the Qualifier.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Approaching the Bonce Busters.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And that's a tremendous backhand.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22In the face. What a volley from the Bonce Buster. 30-love.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Second service.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27That's it. Helen.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32That's a sight. A woman in muddy water in the rain.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Oh, she's a little bit wobbly. - She is looking unsteady, yeah.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Anyone for Sucker Punch?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42It seems Helen's game has been found. This is more like it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Oh, that's messy. Oh, that's messier.
0:27:46 > 0:27:4940-love.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Magnificent forearm smash for the Sucker Punch.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Lucky Helen's not wearing her tennis whites.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That wouldn't work today.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- HE CHUCKLES - What a finisher.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05Anyone for Helen now faces her highest ranked opponent so far.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Big Balls, please.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Oh. Yeah, that was definitely out.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Game to the Qualifier.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19So, here it is. Match point in the Buenos Aires Open.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Just the Plank Shifter left. Here we go.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Oh, ah!
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Game, set and match to the Qualifier.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So, anyone for Helen, like all British tennis stars,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35promised so much but delivered so little.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44Today's final contestant. It's Liam. A greengrocer from Bristol.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I've got two sides to me like a Jaffa cake. There's the plain side -
0:28:48 > 0:28:49I sell fruit and veg.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51I do all kinds of things there.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55I put things in bags, I put the bags out, I cut the bottom of broccoli.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58There is also the colourful, tangy side, as well.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I concur. That is tangy.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I take out bad onions, I put the bags in different places.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Definitely tangy.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10I turn apples around so they look better,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I tell people what my favourite kind of apple is.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- So, do you get your five-a-day at work then?- At least.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Sometimes as many as eight.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Here goes Tangy Liam. Oh, and that's what happens if you OD on fruit.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Can this fresh produce assistant - that means greengrocer -
0:29:29 > 0:29:30produce anything here?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Oh, I was about to say yes.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Well, he can - entertainment.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah, that was, as well.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Oh, that was cruel. Right in the spring onions.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Tangy Liam takes on the ripe red balls. One, two...
0:29:53 > 0:29:54he's squeezing it to see if it's ripe.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57That's it. You can do it. He's a big red goofball.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00A bit wobbly. Go on, Tangy Liam, go on. Yes!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Another ball crossing. What a hero.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05What an advert for eating eight a day.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09And now he's in the circle, as well.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13He's just making me want to eat lots of fruit. It works.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Can he, will he?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Yes. Tangy Liam comes in at one minute 26.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Pound for pound, the fastest today. Now, that is tangy.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29That was absolutely fantastic.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31I made it over the big red balls.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- I know.- Am I Prime Minister now?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43No, unfortunately, Liam, you're still a greengrocer from Bristol.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48And that's all 20 contestants done.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Hang on, who's this?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Oh, my word, it looks like...
0:30:53 > 0:30:56It is. It's Crocodile Ben-dee. He is still alive.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59And if he can finish quickly, he can make it through to the next round.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Yes, Crocodile Ben-dee's done it. What a finish.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06What a conservationist.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09What a man. So, let's have a look at the final leaderboard.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Proving eight a day is good for you, is Tangy Liam
0:31:12 > 0:31:14with Sporty Girl Amy in second
0:31:14 > 0:31:16and Dan and his teaching assistant in third.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21They are followed by Jolly Hockey Nics and Spoonful of Ellen.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26At the back of the pack, Unlucky Nicholas and Sporty Girl Robyn.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Whilst bringing up the rear are Crocodile Ben-dee
0:31:28 > 0:31:29and Little Fern Maid.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33After Tangy Liam's incredible fruit-fuelled performance,
0:31:33 > 0:31:37I'm really up for making sure I get my five today. Here we are.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41There are five. Yes, they are jam. That should do the job.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43So, whilst I elongate my lifespan
0:31:43 > 0:31:45via the energising properties of jam,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48it's time to say farewell to those who've just been eliminated.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Cheers.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Help! I can't go up.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57MUSIC: "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Glen Campbell
0:31:57 > 0:32:00# Time grabs you by the wrist
0:32:00 > 0:32:02# Directs you where to go
0:32:02 > 0:32:05# It's something unpredictable
0:32:05 > 0:32:08# But in the end it's right
0:32:08 > 0:32:10# I hope you had the time of your life. #
0:32:23 > 0:32:27The Double Cross has written itself into folklore this series.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30But it wasn't always this tough. Oh, no.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33The Double Cross mk 1 was a massive failure.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Mainly because it was easy.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39So, the designers had a rethink and the rest, as they say, is history.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Contestants enter using one of the green arms and exit using the red.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49The first six to make it across go through to the next round.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50The rest can enjoy the hospitality
0:32:50 > 0:32:53of the local accident and emergency ward. Voila.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58First, it's Tangy Liam.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Andy, I'm going to shave your moustache off
0:33:01 > 0:33:02and mop the floor with it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- MOUSTACHE:- Oooh!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Second in the qualifier, it's Amy.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Doing it for the Dinkies.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Third, it's schoolteacher Daniel. - Talk about double crosses,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15I'm going to have some double ticks in my mark book.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Then Jolly Hockey Nics.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Spoonful of Ellen.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22There's six girls and six places. Daniel, you do the maths.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Then it's Andy-bar Moustache.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Liam, I thought we were friends but, now, it's on.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29- MOUSTACHE:- It's on.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Lucky Nicholas made it in seventh.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I'm going to sweep to victory.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Then Sporty Girl Robyn
0:33:38 > 0:33:40followed by Dirty Tristan.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42HE CROWS LIKE COCKEREL
0:33:42 > 0:33:46I'm a rooster, not a chicken.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I'm entirely speechless.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Next, it's Crocodile Ben-dee.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Down you go, everyone.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Whoop-ass Anna and finally, Little Fern Maid.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Only a prince is going to sweep me off my feet.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I wouldn't be so sure about that.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Let me tell you a few home truths. We've got too many contestants left.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Get over it. Double Cross really hurts. Deal with it.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20It's going to be carnage out there. Life is sweet. Are you all ready?
0:34:20 > 0:34:21ALL: Yes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26Yes. Sweet. Three, two, one.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30KLAXON BLARES
0:34:30 > 0:34:34So, it begins. Who's going to make the first move? And it's Amy.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Straight off and straight in.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Oh, and Lucky Nicholas is unlucky.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Seems to nudge the others out of the way
0:34:43 > 0:34:45then completely mistimes his jump.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Who is this? It's Jolly Hockey Nics. Off.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50And there is a few more fallers.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54And what can Andy-bar Moustache do?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Nothing. This is disastrous.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Doing nothing is something Ben also turns out to be good at. Oops.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02More mayhem. Still no-one close to making it to the middle.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05No. No. No.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Lots of fallers. Lucky Nicholas has another attempt. Ouch.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Yes, his luck runs out again as the sweeping arm smashes him off.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Oh, crikey. No.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24It's like a lemming convention out there. Oh, come on. No. No.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Who's that? This is just carnage.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30People running about, falling off. Liam, now, onto the bar.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32And off it.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Tangy Liam just can't hang on and is properly flipped over.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Now, what's this? Looks like Fern is in some trouble.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Oh, that's doesn't look good for Amy either. A double injury.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48What do we do now? That's bad.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Both Amy and Fern injured their knees
0:35:53 > 0:35:57and on medical advice have been forced to retire from the condition.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59A sad moment indeed.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02And when I'm feeling a bit sad, as I am right now,
0:36:02 > 0:36:07I feel compelled to express my emotions through poetry.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Now, what rhymes with Fern?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Burn.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Oh, great. We are back. And Andy's in the middle already. Wow.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Oh, just a pause to get his bearings. And that's Dan.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Is he going to make it? Yes, he's made it, too.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Dan, struggling to stay on. Oh.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33This is carnage. I can't watch.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36I am contracted to do so. I have to. I am.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40He's down. But look, Dirty Tristan is joining the party, I believe.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Yes, now, timing is key.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45They have to wait for that red gangway.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Andy makes his move. And it looks good.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49No. He's fallen.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53He did all the hard work
0:36:53 > 0:36:56but just couldn't make that final leap to safety.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59And that leaves the door wide open for Tristan.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02So, he lines himself up and he's off. No.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Balance letting him down maybe. Or timing.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Dan has another go.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Oh, that is golden Wipeout magic.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Nics is in the middle and who's that? Lucky Nicholas.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Pushing her off.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18And now Andy's back.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25All of a sudden, it's a stampede to the middle.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Andy's on the move and,
0:37:29 > 0:37:33yes, finally. He's the first to cross.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Back to the middle. And now, Dan's making his...
0:37:37 > 0:37:39No, that didn't work.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42That's a massive hit for the primary school teacher.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Year Five will love that.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Right, five - no, six -
0:37:47 > 0:37:50crammed in the middle. This is going to be interesting.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Robyn getting squashed but Nics now running.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Oh, right in the kisser.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Jolly Hockey Nics sours into the air only to crash face-first.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06More middle mayhem as Ben lines himself up for a run and, oh,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08look at that. As easy as you like.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Crocodile Ben-dee makes it look simple.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Which it isn't. Let's look at the victory celebration again.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Yeah, nice straight arms, slightly bent knees. Works with any fanfare.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20That is beautiful. Textbook. Well done.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Anyway, let's get back to the game.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Dan makes his bid. Yes?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Yes.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29And now, here's Nics.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Crikey, she is through, as well.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Two places left, guys, come on.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37So, who will it be?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Dirty Tristan, Anna, Tangy Liam, Ellen, Lucky Nicolas
0:38:41 > 0:38:43or Sporty Girl Robyn,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45who is surely about to fall?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48No, she's still hanging on.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Just.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Tangy Liam leapfrogs the arm. Can he hold on? No.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56And neither can Nick.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58The greengrocer does well to keep on the gangway.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Just lost his balance. Robyn, now, still hanging on.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04How she has not lost her arm by now, I have no idea.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Yeah, she is getting mixed.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09She falls, as does Ellen and Anna.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Spoonful of Ellen knows she's blown it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16A futile scream as she plummets.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Right, Tristan, sitting pretty in there, joined by Liam.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Two places left, there's two of you up there. Go for it, now.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26Looking for the exit gangway, Tangy Liam takes a chance
0:39:26 > 0:39:28and, yes, he's nailed it.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30There is just one place left.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33So, who will grab it? Dirty Tristan?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Oh, no. No, that's a no.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Dirty Tristan takes one right in the Harries there.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43Ellen.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Oh, takes a tumble and is brought down by Robyn.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Look at that.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Double disaster. Two contestants at once.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Anna now joined by Dirty Tristan in the middle.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Things getting desperate.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03There is Robyn. Back for a last ditch effort.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Off runs Robyn and, yes, she has made it.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11And Robyn sneaks into take that final place in the next round.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Exhausting stuff.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Right, I've finished my poem about Amy and Fern.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20It's called Sad, Sad Sorrow and I'm going to read it now.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32Well, that's beautiful. Up there with Wordsworth and Longfellow.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Right, what's next? Oh, yeah, it's the sad goodbye
0:40:34 > 0:40:36to everyone who went out on Double Cross.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38I can feel another poem coming on.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42I think we all just wanted to be first and, yeah,
0:40:42 > 0:40:44it didn't pay off for me.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47It's something to do with having to coordinate your eyes
0:40:47 > 0:40:49and your feet, think, and I just wasn't able to do it.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51My legs just didn't seem to
0:40:51 > 0:40:53want to go the same way as my body, most of the time.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Absolutely gutted.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57So devastated cos I know I could have gone on and won it.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00I don't know how they've got across it. I just couldn't work it out.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02I could not work it out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05As far as who I want to go through tonight -
0:41:05 > 0:41:06I don't care.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08I wanted to be there.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16The Terror-Go-Round.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Looks like a gentle stroll in an inflatable theme park.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22But stop.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24This beast is a master of disguise,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27despatching justice to all comers
0:41:27 > 0:41:30in an unswerving dedication to its task.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33This mechanical monster with added Fickle Fingers
0:41:33 > 0:41:37is at the ready to dish out mayhem and misery.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39There'll be three heats to discover who will go through
0:41:39 > 0:41:42to the Wipeout Zone. Hey presto.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45We are in Argentina, so I've been learning Spanish.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Guess how they say Terror-Go-Round here?
0:41:47 > 0:41:53El terroro del scare-a...your...pants off. Really?
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Right. Well, it's terrifying, all the same. Are you all ready?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- ALL: Yes. - Three, two, one.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04So, before legs and arms start going everywhere,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06here's a little reminder of who's who.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10On the outer rim, it's Daniel and his teaching assistant.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Then there is Sporty Girl Robyn.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Crocodile Ben-dee.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Will he show that celebration again?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24It's the fruit-powered Tangy Liam.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Then, she is one tough cookie - Jolly Hockey Nics.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32And, finally, he was first across Double Cross,
0:42:32 > 0:42:33it's Andy-bar Moustache.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Terror-Go-Round at the ready. - That was venomous.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43This week's theme is lifeguards, which is ironic, because there's
0:42:43 > 0:42:47never been a less competent pair of lifesavers than the Terror Twins.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52OK, prepare for the Fingers.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56And there they go. Will anyone go out on the first Finger?
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Oh, yes.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Andy-bar Moustache gets carried up, up and away.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Strong arm hold but he's out. For this heat, at least.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Rubber ring causing trouble in the ranks.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Oh, someone's gone.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13That was Sporty Girl Robyn.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Trying to hug the Finger into submission, it didn't work.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Four still standing now, well, two.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Dan's in trouble. If he travels through the punch bags, he's out.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23Oh, dear, he's out now.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28Dan takes a real tumble off that Fickle Finger.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Liam, Ben and Nics still in the game.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Come on, guys.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39The fewer contestants there are, the more likely it is
0:43:39 > 0:43:41the Terror Twins will pick on them,
0:43:41 > 0:43:43as Liam is discovering.
0:43:43 > 0:43:44Yeah, that can't help concentration.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Remember, the last one standing here
0:43:46 > 0:43:49will definitely be going through to the Wipeout Zone.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Oh, Tangy Liam is down. He's gone.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59I don't think he ever quite recovered from
0:43:59 > 0:44:00that rubber ring to the head.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03So, it's between Ben and Nics.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07Oh, they're both down.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09They've gone. Both of them.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Right, let's look at the replay.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16The rules state that the last man or woman standing wins and,
0:44:16 > 0:44:18as you can see here,
0:44:18 > 0:44:22Nics is still on her feet whilst Ben very clearly isn't.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25All of that means Jolly Hockey Nics goes through
0:44:25 > 0:44:26to the Wipeout Zone
0:44:26 > 0:44:30whilst poor Ben's got to do it all again.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Heat two.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Oh, and immediately everyone tries to hide from the Terror Twins.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43Well, everyone except Liam, who is drawing their fire.
0:44:45 > 0:44:46Oh, that wasn't nice.
0:44:47 > 0:44:52Here comes something even less nice - the Fingers.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57Oh, Liam's down before the first Finger's even arrived and so is...
0:44:57 > 0:45:00I don't know, it's carnage, all of a sudden.
0:45:00 > 0:45:04But Crocodile Ben-dee is still standing so he's through.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07I'm not sure even he has actually realised it yet.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10So, Robyn got carried off by the Finger,
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Andy does a kamikaze dive into the water
0:45:12 > 0:45:17and Dan's carried backwards through the punch bags leaving behind Ben.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21He's still going. He still doesn't quite believe it. Oh, bless.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24Someone tell him, please.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Ben. Ben! You're through. It's finished.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28You did it.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Right, final heat.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Andy, Liam, Daniel and Robyn are all vying for that final place
0:45:38 > 0:45:40in the Wipeout Zone.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Not that easy to vie when two Argentinian lifeguards
0:45:42 > 0:45:45are dumping inflatables on your head, of course.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Now, things get tricky. Fingers of fate, rotate!
0:45:48 > 0:45:51I've been working on that catchphrase for five weeks.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52I like it.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54Dan's got a towel on his head.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56And, what's happened here?
0:45:56 > 0:45:59Well, the Fingers have already taken out both Andy and Robyn.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01It's all over for them but all on for these two.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06Only Liam and Daniel remain.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12And Liam's stumbling.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14Stumbling and drifting out.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16And Liam is out.
0:46:16 > 0:46:21Dan completes the Wipeout Zone line-up. What a wonderful scene.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23He's had a good day,
0:46:23 > 0:46:25I've had a good day, even the losers have had a good day.
0:46:25 > 0:46:27It's time to say, "Cheerio."
0:46:29 > 0:46:30But, tragically,
0:46:30 > 0:46:34it's a plain old goodbye to Tangy Liam.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39And whilst Sporty Girl Robyn has been a great sport, she's out, too.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Finally, it's cheerio to both Andy and his incredible
0:46:42 > 0:46:46talking moustache. You shall be missed.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51It is always a tough time on the show, saying goodbye to contestants.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55So sad that I have written another haunting poem.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58"How can I just let you walk away?
0:46:58 > 0:47:01"Just leave you without a trace?
0:47:01 > 0:47:06"When I stand here, taking every breath with you-oo-oo.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10"Take a look at me now. There's just an empty space."
0:47:10 > 0:47:14Oh, apparently, it's against all odds that they'll be back.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Let's remind ourselves who the three finalists are.
0:47:18 > 0:47:22I can't believe that I've got so far in the competition.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25I'm so happy and so privileged and honoured to be here.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29In my life, I've never accomplished anything major like this.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31The last and only thing I've won in my life was a fancy dress
0:47:31 > 0:47:37competition at Brownies when I was 11 dressed as a Crayola orange crayon.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41What I've told the kids by coming on this is that if you try hard enough at something,
0:47:41 > 0:47:44you'll achieve it, even if it's a pipe dream.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47I'm so surprised I'm sitting here right now.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49None of us really thought we'd get this far.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53I thought I'd done so bad on the qualifier, I didn't even think I'd go through.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56I've been compared to Mr Bean...
0:47:57 > 0:48:01..because I always do things wrong or commit too many blunders.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05When I first clapped eyes on Ben, I would not have thought he would be here now.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09I don't know what's going on, sometimes.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12His Mr Bean performance so far has been pretty incredible.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17He's here to the final, and I think he's proved a lot of people wrong.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20I'm deadly but also skinny.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25My year five class, I think, will be so, so happy and proud of me.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27It'll be brilliant. I'm so happy.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32I work with a load of guys. I've got my two older brothers.
0:48:32 > 0:48:35I just want to beat those boys in the Wipeout Zone.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41I want to prove that, no matter what your attributes are, you can still do it regardless.
0:48:49 > 0:48:54Evening, all. Move along, please. Nothing to see here.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56What am I saying? There's tons to see here!
0:48:56 > 0:48:58It's the Wipeout Zone,
0:48:58 > 0:49:01and Ben is the first to brave it.
0:49:03 > 0:49:07Here is Crocodile Ben-dee. That's not an obstacle course.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09This is an obstacle course.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Here we go again.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Let tonight's Wipeout Zone commence.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24So, Ben starts well. Nice bit of floating.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26And now it's a swim to the Rapid Climb.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Once he's hauled himself up onto the waterfall,
0:49:29 > 0:49:32he'll have ten seconds to get to the top.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36If Ben doesn't make it in that time, a tidal wave will be unleashed.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37Go, Ben!
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Struggling against the tide.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Come on, Ben!
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- A bit of water in the eyes. - There you go!
0:49:50 > 0:49:52He's on. The countdown has begun.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56Ben started well, and with the aid of the banister, he's looking good.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Yup, he's beaten the wave.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Now for the slippery Seesaw Of Truth.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05He needs a strong nerve and balance here. He's got plenty of both.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Can't hurry it, can't hang about either.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15A lot of support for Ben as he approaches the Crazy Sweeper now.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Ducks, wise move. But he's staying down. What he playing at?
0:50:21 > 0:50:27Has Ben realised this is a race? Speed is important. He's getting up.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30- No, he's down.- Stand up! Get up!
0:50:31 > 0:50:34This is almost slug-like, and about as quick.
0:50:36 > 0:50:39But he's going to have to get on his feet for the podiums.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42The sweeper is closing in. Hurry up! Oh, only just.
0:50:42 > 0:50:48Right, the turntables to go now. Ben makes the first.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Now prepares to fling himself at the Pillars Of No Return. A bit dizzy.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57Readying himself. Makes his leap. Yes! perfectly timed.
0:50:57 > 0:51:02Got to be getting dizzy now. Makes it onto the third. One more to go.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Yes! Well done, Ben. Done and dusted in 3:26.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14Well, Ben did beat every single obstacle,
0:51:14 > 0:51:15but it was very slow going.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17So, over to Amanda.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20I like the way you took the slow but steady approach.
0:51:20 > 0:51:23Talk me through this worm technique you had going on over there.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27I just didn't want to get hit by the squares or the circles.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29I thought, OK, I will duck it.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Now, I know you are only very ickle,
0:51:31 > 0:51:34and your T-shirt earlier obviously said "skinny but deadly",
0:51:34 > 0:51:38and you've done that in a deadly time of three minutes and 26 seconds.
0:51:38 > 0:51:39- Are you happy with that? - Yes, very happy.
0:51:39 > 0:51:44You should be happy with that, Ben, because yours is the time to beat.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46But Nics is up next. Let's watch.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Jolly Hockey Nics tries her hand at a new sport.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Wipeout Zoning.
0:52:04 > 0:52:08That was a pretty heavy landing, but it's straight on with the challenge.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Nics doesn't know how Ben got on,
0:52:10 > 0:52:13so she'll just be trying to get round as fast as she possibly can.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17Oh, she's doing well. She's a strong girl.
0:52:20 > 0:52:25Time to battle the Rapid Climb. Onto the ramp. There she goes.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Tidal wave countdown begins. Taking it very steadily.
0:52:29 > 0:52:30This could be a close thing.
0:52:32 > 0:52:33Hurry up, Nics!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36Just about defeats the wave.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41And now Nics steps out onto the Seesaw Of Truth.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47Not as cautious as Ben so far, but she's past the tipping point and across.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50Will this bold attitude continue on the Crazy Sweeper?
0:52:52 > 0:52:54Choosing her moment. Running.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59- Oh...- And ducking! Oh, a bit of a wobble.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02But instead of sliding like a slug, Nics is up and at it. Drops low.
0:53:04 > 0:53:08- Watch out, that sweeper arm is coming!- Oh, no, no, no, no!
0:53:12 > 0:53:16Maybe Ben had it right after all. A big blow for Nics.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Right at the last moment on the Crazy Sweeper.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25But she is still in with a shout despite that fall.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28A good time here now, she could do it. Jumps for the first turntable.
0:53:28 > 0:53:33She's on. Now for the Pillars Of No Return. Oh, no, disaster!
0:53:33 > 0:53:35A second big fall.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42Nics will be utterly exhausted by now.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46But because of Ben's slow time, she still has a chance to beat him.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Spending a lot of time on that ladder, but Ben spent a lot of time on his belly.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53This is excruciating.
0:53:54 > 0:53:59OK, she is up on her feet again. Just one final jump now. Here it is.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02And Nics has made it. 2:51.
0:54:03 > 0:54:07Which means despite those two falls, Nics has beaten Ben.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12- She doesn't know that yet, so it over to Amanda to tell her.- Whoa!
0:54:13 > 0:54:17- You were doing so incredibly well, and then...?- I just...
0:54:17 > 0:54:21Those ladders... I just couldn't get my foot on them.
0:54:21 > 0:54:24I just could not get my foot on them. Awful. Gutted.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Well, you know, they do say that blondes have more fun.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31- But Nics, that wasn't fun for you. - No.- But you were faster than Ben!
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Ben, I'm sorry, my man. You've got to go join the others.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Nics, even though you fell, yours is still the time to beat.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42- Oh, pleased, anyway.- Let's watch.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48Well, your frog puppet can't help you now, Daniel.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55To my family and all my friends, I'm doing this for you. And my class.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58Go for it, yeah, whoo! Yeah, come on!
0:55:00 > 0:55:03He's terrified, you can tell! And with good cause.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Daniel's assault on the Wipeout Zone commences, minus his assistant.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14Now, he doesn't know it, but Nics's time of 2:51 is what
0:55:14 > 0:55:19he needs to beat, and that is definitely beatable time.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22Clambering up onto the Rapid Climb.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25His fellow finalists beat the tidal wave. Can Daniel?
0:55:25 > 0:55:26A bit of a slip.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31But he has scaled the Rapid Climb successfully.
0:55:31 > 0:55:32Inching his way onto the Seesaw.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42Gentle steps to the tipping point. It's over, and he is over.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Now, how cavalier will Daniel be on the Crazy Sweeper?
0:55:49 > 0:55:52Ducks. Safe stuff. But now he's charging. This is very bold.
0:55:52 > 0:55:59Come on! Come on! Oh, no, this is like deja vu.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Daniel's error almost identical to Nics's fall,
0:56:02 > 0:56:06which means this competition is very, very close right now.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10All he has to do is complete this and he's done it.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14True, Nics, but those turntables are pretty tricky.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20OK, safely onto the first.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24Next leap is to the pillars, and that's a big gap.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26Oh, but Daniel has timed it perfectly.
0:56:26 > 0:56:30Now for the penultimate jump. Things are looking good for Daniel.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32Oh, he's completely missed it!
0:56:34 > 0:56:35What a final!
0:56:38 > 0:56:41The length was all right. The direction was just completely wrong.
0:56:41 > 0:56:42Poor Daniel.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48A strength sapping swim and climb.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49Still got a healthy lead here.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52A solid finish from here, and that £10,000 is his.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Oh, this is agony just to watch! Oh, unbelievable.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04Every ounce of strength needed, the crowd urging him on,
0:57:04 > 0:57:07but that slip means things couldn't get any closer right now.
0:57:07 > 0:57:11Can Daniel get himself to that finish button in time to beat Nics?
0:57:13 > 0:57:20Finally up and onto his feet. He jumps. 2:53, it's not enough.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22Nics wins, and I've got no fingernails left at all.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24Oh, my God. This is awful.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27Over to Amanda to reveal the result.
0:57:29 > 0:57:34- How are you?- Tired. I'm a bit gutted about that little rope at the end.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38A tiny little tiny rope. A tiny little rope!
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Well, I'm going to tell you guys, there were two seconds between you.
0:57:46 > 0:57:47Wow.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51Tonight, the Total Wipeout champion...
0:57:55 > 0:57:56..is Nics!
0:57:56 > 0:58:00So, Nicola Cox, 24-year-old finance director from Sheffield,
0:58:00 > 0:58:03wins the Total Wipeout trophy and £10,000.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06And, as a special bonus prize today,
0:58:06 > 0:58:09she also wins a lifetime supply of Hammond's Happy Cola.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13Best before February 1998.
0:58:13 > 0:58:18Anyway, join me next time for something really special. It's going to be a humdinger.
