0:00:03 > 0:00:06Wow! This is incredible!

0:00:06 > 0:00:08The Total Wipeout course.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10It's beautiful!

0:00:10 > 0:00:11Look! Down there.

0:00:11 > 0:00:15Is that 20 ordinary, everyday Brits, including a railway engineer,

0:00:15 > 0:00:18a poker player and a penguin keeper I can see waving?

0:00:18 > 0:00:22Oh, Mr Snowman, if only you could make it so that one of those people

0:00:22 > 0:00:27gets crowned our Winter Wipeout Champion and wins £10,000!

0:00:27 > 0:00:32What's that, Mr Snowman? You can! Well, in that case, let the games begin!

0:00:32 > 0:00:35And please, get me down. I've got vertigo, seriously.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37I feel unwell.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Hello and welcome to an all new Winter Wipeout.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46So what makes Winter Wipeout all new?

0:00:46 > 0:00:50Well, the course is all wintery, the music is all wintery,

0:00:50 > 0:00:54and I've been promised that any minute now is going to get wintery in here as well.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58I'm anticipating snow, maybe,

0:00:58 > 0:01:01or someone in a snowman costume dancing on.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Any minute it will happen.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Ice cubes. That's it.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Fine. Merry winter!

0:01:11 > 0:01:15This is what the contestants will face today.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17The Qualifier. Doesn't it look seasonal?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Ski Lift. Doesn't it look unreasonable?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Winter Blunderland. That looks unfeasible.

0:01:23 > 0:01:29And finally, the Winter Wipeout Zone, simultaneously seasonal, unreasonable and unfeasible.

0:01:31 > 0:01:36If anything, I associate ice cubes with summer, so this is kind of the opposite of what I need.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Just get me some wintery props.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Right, now it's time to go over to the wintery course and my wintery co-host, Amanda Byram.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47They're dripping. They are.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57Eager to get going on this menacingly outrageous course is the small but feisty Mel,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59who is a personal trainer from Howden, in Yorkshire.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- How do, Mel?- How do? Ha-ha-ha!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- You grew up in a farm?- I did indeed, yeah.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Well, you should have told me, I would have used the correct dialect.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Ooh-ar, get off my land!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOO

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Yeah, get out there and do it. We are the farmers! Ooh-ar!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, she doesn't look impressed.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19This brand new Winter Wipeout course might impress her though.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Step aside, Snowman! Make way for the lasses!

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Oh, she's upset the Snowman. Not a good start.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31So Mel sets off towards the first brand new obstacle on this Winter Wipeout course.

0:02:31 > 0:02:37Now, winter for me is all about warm cups of cocoa, knitted bobble hats and snowball fights in the garden.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39With that not really in mind, meet...

0:02:41 > 0:02:43..the Nasty Snowballs.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46And as the name sort of suggests,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49this appears to be two balls on the end of a rotating pole.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Hurdle that, and there's a nasty, loose plank,

0:02:51 > 0:02:55followed by an even nastier set of balls and poles.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56And that's the Nasty Snowballs.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- So here comes Mel.- Aah!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Ouch! Oh my, she stayed on. Good work.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Oh, come on, Mel.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Oh no, they got her.- Ha-ha-ha!

0:03:13 > 0:03:16To be fair, it's all new to Mel. She's kind of a course guinea pig.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19First to try now the second set of snowballs.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Uh... Oh, it's going to be cold!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Right, picking her moment.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Oh, she made it!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31That's it, well done!

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Remember, only the 12 fastest will make it through to the next round.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40But now, Mel must take on a terrifying new obstacle, which is called...

0:03:43 > 0:03:45..Granny's House.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Is that right? It sounds about as scary as crochet, I'm not sure.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56Wow! Look at that! It's a trip past Granny's Pie, and the spinner,

0:03:56 > 0:04:00a treacherous door, followed by an angry dog, and another loose door.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Yeah, it's definitely scarier than crochet.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06But how will guinea-pig Mel fare?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- She missed Granny's Pie, but not the door!- Oh, no!

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Nice one. Meet Granny.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20So it's up the steps for Mel to face another loose door, and...

0:04:20 > 0:04:22a dog!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Go on, guinea-pig Mel.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28I think she's genuinely scared. It's in the timing! Oh, no!

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Oh, ha-ha-ha!

0:04:29 > 0:04:34Great dog avoidance, but a shocking display of door acceptance there from guinea-pig Mel.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Bad luck!

0:04:37 > 0:04:41That door did knock the stuffing out of this 26-year-old personal trainer.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46She might want to take up some rapidly opening door practice when she gets home.

0:04:46 > 0:04:51Oh, look! She's got a Santa Claus beard and moustache! Look at that!

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Oh, that's kind of nice, it works.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59Now, as the Sucker Punch is taking a winter break in Cancun, Mel heads straight to an old favourite.

0:04:59 > 0:05:05It's the Big Red Balls, and this year they've been adorned with everyone's favourite airport convenience.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09Yeah, the future has arrived on Wipeout.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11It is a travelator.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15The contestants will be delivered effortlessly to their destination,

0:05:15 > 0:05:18which usually is to the bottom of that toxic pool.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22I love a good travelator.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Her chin's frozen over.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27A frozen chin is not going to help. Come on, Mel, here we go!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Yes!- Aahh!- Oh!

0:05:31 > 0:05:35As I predicted, the frozen chin just didn't help.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Chin fully defrosted now.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Ooh-ar, Mel!

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yeah, that doesn't help either.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47So Mel is swimming towards the final obstacle,

0:05:47 > 0:05:48which is the Log Jam.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Two really wobbly logs and a spinning cross

0:05:53 > 0:05:57stand in the contestants' way at the end podium and a qualifying time.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01Get it wrong, and it's the long route to the finish.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Come on, Mel.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09- She's onto the first. - Get off that log!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Great work, she's onto the second!

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Come on, Mel, one more jump!

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Here we go, looking good. It's... No! So close!

0:06:19 > 0:06:20Oh, Mel!

0:06:23 > 0:06:26I'm told that water actually is cold as well. I mean, properly.

0:06:26 > 0:06:30Still, guinea-pig Mel climbs to the finish in a time of three minutes and 46 seconds.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Will that be fast enough to get her into the next round?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Ooh-ar, Mel! That weren't 'alf bad, that weren't.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39How are you? How are you feeling after that?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Patronised?

0:06:41 > 0:06:46Mel, you were doing so well on every single obstacle, and then you fell off a little bit.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- I fell off at every single thing. - And you got back up again.- I did.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51- And you fell back off again.- And I fell back off.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54But you got back up again! And then you fell back off again.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Ooh! Ooh-ar!

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Get off my land!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yeah, no need for concern. She is fine. We've had her checked.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07Anyway, second onto this wonderful new Qualifier is Ali.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10And he's got a seasonal occupation. He is a penguin keeper.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12They are 100% real.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17Look at them go. This is better than Happy Feet. It's going to be huge!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Make it stop.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Ali, the penguin keeper. Welcome to Winter Wipeout!- Lovely to be here, thank you.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27They are pretty slippery and slidey agile little fellas, aren't they?

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Have you been watching their every move,

0:07:29 > 0:07:32getting some techniques in order to do well here on Winter Wipeout?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35I don't know if sliding on my belly is the way to go.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Did any of them tell you anything to do?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40No, not really... No, not the penguins.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- Waddle!- All right, thank you, Amanda.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Prepare to watch these Happy Feet march around this course!

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Ali is 32 years old.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53I mean, seriously.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58I think he's a bit more cuckoo than penguin.

0:07:58 > 0:08:04So off goes Ali, the penguin king. Hope he can move quickly on land. Here we go!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Ahh!- Oh, Ali!

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Like his penguin brethren, Ali is pretty nifty in the water.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Look at him go! Look at that!

0:08:15 > 0:08:17But don't look at that though.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Oh, not so good on land,

0:08:19 > 0:08:22but Ali the penguin king is straight onto Granny's House.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Aahh!

0:08:23 > 0:08:28Oh, goodie! He's in the water again. Back on land.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Ouch!- Dog got the penguin.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Granny paid a fortune for that dog.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- It's called Tevez.- Ouch!

0:08:41 > 0:08:45So the penguin king is heading towards the king of all travelators.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Oh, he's marching like the penguins! - Yes, come on, come on! Oh!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Right in the beak!

0:08:53 > 0:08:57If any of Ali's penguins are watching, who gave you a TV anyway?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Just the Log Jam to go.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06Yes!

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Come on, come on!

0:09:11 > 0:09:16- Aah!- Oh, wintery face plant! First one! Something to be proud of!

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Ha-ha! Oh, what a sting! Well done, Ali!

0:09:20 > 0:09:24His penguin's swimming skills have taken a knock there, haven't they?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Come on, waddle yourself up the stairs.

0:09:28 > 0:09:29Oh, this is good though.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33He's three seconds faster than Mel, so good work!

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Next to run the Qualifier... Oh, careful!

0:09:36 > 0:09:40It's 19-year-Old Lauren from Renfrewshire, and she's got an interesting occupation.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44It's really exciting. I get to stuff teddy bears like this wee one called Lovehearts,

0:09:44 > 0:09:47and we get to put lovely little love hearts inside them,

0:09:47 > 0:09:50and we get to rub them so they are all nice and warm.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53And then rub them on our cheeks so they're cheeky.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57And then we all give them a kiss and it goes inside, and then we stitch them up. It's an awesome job!

0:09:57 > 0:09:59All right, good luck out there today, Lauren.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Thank you very much. Fingers crossed! Aahh!

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Ahh!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh, careful!

0:10:07 > 0:10:12So Lauren is off to stuff the Qualifier. What a link I did there.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Nice music. Oh, this is good!

0:10:15 > 0:10:16No, no, it's not!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Ooh, Lauren.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I don't know if I can BEAR to watch this!

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Ah! Bear! Ha-ha! Yeah, OK.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Oh!- Aah!

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Grin and bear it.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34Oh, good team work, Amanda. Yeah!

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Lauren is looking a little bit grizzly as she approaches The Balls.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Here we go, on the travelator.

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Aah!

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, no! Negative progress!

0:10:46 > 0:10:50Un-bear-livable! Sorry, I'll stop that.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52OK, the Log Jam now.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56To the first. Oh, oh.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's all in the timing.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Oh, Lauren, this is great!- Aah!

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh, no!

0:11:02 > 0:11:07Grizzly Lauren's taken a bit of a stuffing from the Qualifier, and not of the polyester type.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11She climbs to the finish in a bear-ly respectable time of four minutes and 56.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yes!

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Oh, hang on, I'm seeing double! No, I'm not.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- This is Deb and Meg, and they are from...- Newcastle! Newcastle!

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Newcastle! Newcastle!

0:11:25 > 0:11:26Ha-ha-ha!

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Newcastle! Newcastle!

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Oh, colour-coded, very convenient.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33This is Deb in the green.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Mega fast Meg, you're not that fast.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38I think you're going to probably come last!

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Oooooh!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42That's right, Deb! You're too slow!

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Pump up the jam and watch me go!

0:11:44 > 0:11:48Oh, these lasses, they are all full of chat at the top!

0:11:49 > 0:11:53So the stage is set for Newcastle lass grudge match.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Aah!- Oh!

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Yeah, neck and neck on the Nasty Snowballs.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02It's two for one, ladies night down at Granny's House.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Aah!

0:12:07 > 0:12:10There they are. Heading down the Big Balls market.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Oh!

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Come on, girls. Pump up the Log Jam.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23I'll stop that now.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Ouch!

0:12:29 > 0:12:32So, Deb, or is that Meg, reaches the finish in seven minutes and eight seconds.

0:12:32 > 0:12:37But the winner of the Newcastle Lass Off is Meg, or Deb, in five minutes and 42.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Well done, to, to...that one!

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Friendship over! That's it! - Ha-ha-ha!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Ha-ha-ha!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Slightly unfair.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53This is 36-year-old plumber Rob.

0:12:53 > 0:12:5536? Is this right?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Aahh!

0:12:57 > 0:12:59He looks about 12. He can't be 36!

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Rob, 36? Are you sure?

0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yeah, I certainly am.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10- No, but are you really, really sure? - Yeah, yeah.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Well, you know, you obviously...you look like a little boy.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Um...what is your secret?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18A bit of man cream here and there, that's the way.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22I might leave that till later.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25So off he goes.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Ooh, and he's quick! Oh, yes!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Oh, he nearly made it!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, Rob!

0:13:33 > 0:13:37But he's up and heading towards Granny's House.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Come on, fella! Where are you?

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Now, don't make her angry. Don't make her angry.- Ha-ha!

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Oh, that's too fast! There's no way he's 36! I want to see papers.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- He's a big boy now. - Um...Macaulay Culkin.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Ouch, oh, no! That looked bad! That... Ah!

0:13:58 > 0:13:59Good leap. No...

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Onto the first log. This looks like a really quick time.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Wow!- Wow, what was that?! - Oh, that's amazing!

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Rob's man cream really is paying off, clearly.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15That's just showing off!

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Nobody's ever looked good before doing this.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22And he's heading for a leaderboard topping time at this rate, here we go.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Oh...yes!- No, no, no!

0:14:26 > 0:14:31- Oh, yes, he did!- Oh, did he just do that? The clock is still ticking.

0:14:31 > 0:14:36But Rob boy is still top of the snowboard with an amazing two minutes 16.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Speaking of which, Rob boy tops the Winter charts

0:14:39 > 0:14:40with Ali the penguin king

0:14:40 > 0:14:43and guinea pig Mel in second and third.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Then it's grizzly Lauren, and Meg, or is it Deb, in fourth and fifth.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49And in last place is Deb! Or Meg...

0:14:50 > 0:14:54You know what? I do feel younger. Right, good news.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58The winter prop I asked for has apparently arrived and here it is...

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Wow! A massive ice cube!

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I know what I can do with that. I can carve it into a sculpture.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08Fetch me my ice chisel and hammer, please. No, wait!

0:15:08 > 0:15:10It's all right, I've got mine on me, stand down.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Right, whilst I get sculpting, on with the competition!

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Now, this is Professor David Spiegelhalter OBE,

0:15:17 > 0:15:19and he's a Professor of Risk.

0:15:19 > 0:15:24What this means is that if I'm going to qualify, I've just got to get below three minutes.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Oh, right. Below three minutes is the key.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31And off goes the Professor towards the Nasty Snowballs.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Yes! Yes! Oh, oh...

0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Ha-ha-ha-ha! - I know what he did there.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40He followed the Y-axis when he should have followed the X.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Onto Granny's House now, a risky destination.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45All right, Professor Spiegel-halt!

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oh!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Aah!

0:15:49 > 0:15:51He could still be doing this in under three minutes.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54All he has to do is clear both logs.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Ouch! Big ouch!

0:15:56 > 0:15:59The gentleman doth profess too much.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Despite that risky performance,

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Professor David Spiegelhalter OBE climbs to the finish in three minutes and 17.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Just shy of his target.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Now, here's someone else who'd like some letters after his name.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15This is PhD student James.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19James is studying sleep at Bournemouth University.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21There's a course in sleep? I don't get it. Oh!

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Ouch!

0:16:23 > 0:16:27Now this student is heading to Granny's House for the weekend for a kip, a bit of revision.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Oh, James, our PhD.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Ph-D'oh!

0:16:34 > 0:16:38He is impressively quick though. Here we go!

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Ouch!- Ouch!

0:16:41 > 0:16:46Sorry, this is still bothering me - what do you do with a PhD in sleep?

0:16:47 > 0:16:51But dozy student beats professor by 17 seconds is the news.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53Ph-Did it.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Top marks!

0:16:56 > 0:16:59This is 31-year-old Bristolian teacher Carolyn,

0:16:59 > 0:17:02and apparently she's got a hobby or two.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Gymnastics, netball, tennis, squash,

0:17:05 > 0:17:08lacrosse, athletics, rounders, and then...

0:17:08 > 0:17:13That's a long list. Nobody's got enough time to do all of that. What is she, some kind of hobby robot?

0:17:13 > 0:17:18- Canyoning, kayaking...- What? - Coasteering, white water rafting...

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Here goes Carolyn.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26Is that a hobby? No, she's running, just running.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Oh, oh... Oh, she hangs on!- Oh, Carolyn!

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Very impressive stuff, she's up again.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34She's being met with resistance.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, laser-beam eyes. Nice!

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Oh, look, she's doing it again.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Alien! Definitely alien.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43They have a lot of hobbies.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48Oh! Come on! Hang on! No!

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Here come the balls.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53With all those super human abilities, this is going to be good.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Expecting great things! No! That's no good!

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Oh!

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Crikey!

0:18:05 > 0:18:07That's probably broken her lasers.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Despite that clattering, Carolyn is looking very fast.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Oh, this is good!

0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Oh, this is better!- Ooh-ooh!

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Wow! She made that look so easy.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Two minutes five, tops the snowboard too.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23She is out of this world.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Someone else who's no stranger to winning stuff is Mikey.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Mikey's won holidays to Cyprus, France and Sri Lanka,

0:18:32 > 0:18:36so will he be adding winning Winter Wipeout to this illustrious list?

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Maybe.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Oh!- He may not.- Oh, god! Mikey!

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Quick swim and onto the second set now.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- That's it, that's it, jump!- Aah!

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Uh-oh!- Ouch!- Aah!

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Mikey just won a trip to Buenos Aires' hospital.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01Yeah, I'll come back to him when he's been discharged from that prize.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02HE COUGHS

0:19:02 > 0:19:06I haven't started yet. I'm just waiting for inspiration to strike.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11But with a massive block to work with, I don't know what to turn it into.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15Oh, hold on, got it!

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Now, whilst this uniquely talented ice sculptor gets to work,

0:19:17 > 0:19:20here are some competitors with their own unique talents.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Meet Jackie from Epsom. She's a voiceover artist.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29"Yes. A voiceover artist".

0:19:31 > 0:19:34And Jack from Narberth. He does an uncanny impression of Donald Duck.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Aahh!- No, that's not it. Obviously that's something else.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Then there's railway engineer Sophia from Kent.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44She can turn herself into an actual rail. Wow!

0:19:44 > 0:19:48Then there's professional poker player Eugene, from Bexleyheath.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50He's got a brilliant poker face. He!

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Go on.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56Rubbish!

0:19:56 > 0:20:00So how will these amazing powers equip this foursome on the Qualifier?

0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Who knows?- Oooh!

0:20:07 > 0:20:08Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Oh! Oh, that's going to hurt!

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Ha-ha! Careful! Oh!

0:20:34 > 0:20:36What was that!?

0:20:36 > 0:20:40So did any of their amazing talents help any of these four onto the snowboard?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45As things stand, Carolyn, from outer space, is at the top.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48In fourth, Donald Jack.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50In eighth, poker-face Eugene.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53And clinging onto their places in the top 12 are Meg or Deb,

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Sophia, and Deb or Meg.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01Back to Mikey, and he's now been going at it for over eight minutes.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06I guess he could technically be arrested for loitering here.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Oh! Having a little rest on the first log.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13No doubt Mikey is gearing up for one big, final push. Here it comes.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Yes, it's going to be magnificent.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17He's saved all of his strength. Oh...

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- No, he's off.- Ha-ha-ha!

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Showing his impatience there.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25And as the clock ticks over the ten-minute mark,

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Mikey has won a coveted place in the over-ten-minute club.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29Right, who's next?

0:21:29 > 0:21:33This is Vegan, from Muscle, aged 100...

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Hang on, no, I read the T-shirt instead of the script.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40Vegan for life! Come on, vegan muscle!

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Oh, she's a vegan called Marina, she doesn't look 100 though.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45That must be that vegan diet.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48So vegan versus Nasty Snowballs.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Here we go! Oh, she's over!

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Oh, but the nasty plank is clearly a meat eater.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Wow, hang on!

0:21:57 > 0:21:58- She's across!- Yoo-hoo!

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Who needs a burger when you've got a vegetable?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Vegetable enthusiast to the balls!

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Good start! Oh, hang on.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Safely onto the second. Hang on, I've got that funny feeling again!

0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's the third...

0:22:14 > 0:22:18No one has ever made it across the Winter Balls!

0:22:18 > 0:22:22- Until now!- Yes!- Marina becomes the first Winter-Ball Crosser.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I might go vegan myself. But I do fancy a sausage, actually, no.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27No, not today!

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Log Jam! One jump left! Vegan power!

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Oh, here we go! Off the last log jam!

0:22:35 > 0:22:37This is it!

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Oh! Right in the mungbee! Oh, that's going to hurt!- Oh!

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Marina into the aqua.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47This just works out. If she hadn't fallen in, we'd have pushed her.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51But no-meat Marina completes the course in two minutes and eight seconds.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54She's a one tough-fu cookie! Ah, forget it!

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Now, just five Qualifier runs to go, and this is John.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01He's a hair replacement salon manager aged 53.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02And he is cool.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07And this is 23-year-old engineer Ben.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09He swaggers, and that's cool.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11But who is cooler?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14So it's new versus old.

0:23:14 > 0:23:1623 versus 53.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Hair against hair.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Who would have thought this would happen in any of our lives?

0:23:21 > 0:23:25What time is it? It's Winter Wipeout time! Bring it on down!

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Oh, oh! That's painful!

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Oh-my-golly-gosh!

0:23:32 > 0:23:35- And off goes John.- Come on, Johnny boy!

0:23:35 > 0:23:37In he goes. Yes!

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh-uh! Oh! No!

0:23:39 > 0:23:42No! No! No!

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- No...- That was a hair don't, not a hair do.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Now, this is a hair do.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50- It's Ben with protection.- Ready!

0:23:50 > 0:23:51Otherwise the 'fro would be frozen.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Yeah, OK. Here he goes!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Oops, no.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00No...no!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02No...no!

0:24:02 > 0:24:04You're losing!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06No...no! No...no!

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Ha-ha, yes! Yes! New school wins!

0:24:09 > 0:24:12He has made it. Back to old daddy-cool John.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Oh, it's looking good!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Slide! Excellent work!

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Dog... Oh! Something about old dog and new trips.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24It will come to me, I'll work it out.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28New school Ben edging ahead.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34Oh-oh...

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Yeah, thank goodness for the shower cap. Correct. Cool.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43And John's up to the logs like lightening.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Oh, he's getting wiggy with it!

0:24:45 > 0:24:48Amazing! He's on the second!

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Here's Ben, lagging behind now.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Oh, oh!

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Oh, yes!

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Now, this is amazing. Two minutes, nine seconds.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Yes! And he's dancing!- Amazing!

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Ha-ha! Yeah! If that is dancing...

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Ben lags behind, but not far, Two minutes 15.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Victory to the old school!

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I don't feel too sexy right now, you know.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21But I'm sure, in a few minutes, I'll be back to 100%!

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Next is Fiona from Truro.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27And she plays a musical instrument. I'm guessing...bassoon.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Wait! Apparently, Fiona is actually a saxophone teacher. That explains a lot.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Fiona to the balls!

0:25:34 > 0:25:37One, no, not one. She missed one.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41That takes talent - straight down the gap. It's a small gap too.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44Now, saxy Fiona prepares for the logs.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45That's it, Fiona!

0:25:45 > 0:25:46That's the first.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Oh, and the second! Amazing!

0:25:51 > 0:25:54With just two more contestants to go, saxy Fiona jumps

0:25:54 > 0:25:59to the top of the snowboard with a saxy time of one minute and 49.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02This is today's penultimate runner, Helen.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Let me guess what her job is from the subtle clues.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Um...I'm going to go with bassoon teacher.

0:26:08 > 0:26:12No, turns out Helen is actually a detective.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15And she's about to take on the case of the wintery Qualifier.

0:26:15 > 0:26:20This course is suspicious, and I'm here to investigate! Wooh!

0:26:20 > 0:26:22OK, Granny's House.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Come on, Helen. See what your investigation can uncover.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Oh, I don't know.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Loose doors and a rabid dog, very suspicious.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35Suspicious Helen to the balls now.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Oh, dear.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41It's going to take more than a deceptively bouncy ball to get Helen off this case.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Just the logs left.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Oh, I detect a potential winner!

0:26:46 > 0:26:50If Helen makes this, she will top the snowboard. Here we go!

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Yes! Fastest of the day! - Yes, it's a raid!- Oooh!

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Suspicious Helen not only solves the Qualifier,

0:26:56 > 0:26:58she also grabs first place.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oh, my god. That was difficult.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03And you are now the Usain Bolt of coppers.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Well done, that was absolutely fantastic.- Thank you, Amanda.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10- 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello. - Yes, bye!- Suspicious.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Or it could have been indigestion.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Now, for today's final contestant.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19By day, he's Barnsley IT Manager Mark.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22By night, he's the wrestler Mr Lee.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24I'm invincible!

0:27:24 > 0:27:27I am the champion of the world!

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Old claim, indeed.

0:27:30 > 0:27:32Argg! Check out these.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36No one can stop Mr Lee. Argg!

0:27:36 > 0:27:41In his role as a wrestler, Mark has built up a reputation for falling over really well.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45I need a little bit of help here, so if you just give me a little push.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48See, that was brilliant!

0:27:50 > 0:27:52- Are you all right?- Yes, yeah.

0:27:52 > 0:27:54- That sounded really hard. - Yeah, that's it.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57It's hard, like it's hard ground.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Argg!

0:27:59 > 0:28:02Come on, Mark. Here we go!

0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Oh, yes!- Argg!- Ah, wait!

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Oh, hold on, hold on!

0:28:06 > 0:28:08No, no! No! No! Oh, no!

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Ha-ha-ha!

0:28:10 > 0:28:15World-class fall there, I would expect nothing else! Now, here comes Granny! Ha-ha!

0:28:17 > 0:28:18He even made it look accidental.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Very clever! That's difficult!

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- Knocked out by a dog.- Yeah.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26I'm beginning to see Mark's problem, actually.

0:28:27 > 0:28:32It's the tie. The IT side of his personality is holding him back.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Come on, Mark, cast off the tie. You don't need it.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Leave behind the shackles of your office life.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Do it! Do it! Throw them away!

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Oh, beautiful!

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Yes! He is doing it! This is amazing!

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Oh, Mr Lee is having a moment.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52And what a moment it is!

0:28:52 > 0:28:55Mark has turned a corner!

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- So...sort of.- Come on, Mr Lee.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Oh, this is stirring stuff.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13He is climbing the stairs of victory.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17He is about to touch the summit of success.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Yes! Come on, Mark! Oh, yes!

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Oh, he's on the travelator.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Nonetheless, he's doing it!

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Yes! His family must be so proud right now!

0:29:34 > 0:29:36What a hero!

0:29:36 > 0:29:39He's fallen off. Look, there. Oh...

0:29:43 > 0:29:47Argg!

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Nearly there, Mark.

0:29:51 > 0:29:56Easy does it, wrestling that log like a big Mr Nasty, Mr Lee that he is. Argg!

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Come on!

0:30:00 > 0:30:04Ah! Yeah! Oh, no! Oh...oh!

0:30:04 > 0:30:08Oh, it takes years of wrestler training to fall like that.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12You see, right at the end, the worst possible... That is amazing! Yes!

0:30:13 > 0:30:17He might not have made the final snowboard, but he is my champion.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19Argg!

0:30:20 > 0:30:23And Mark reaches the end in seven minutes and five.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30Taking the lead is suspicious Helen, followed by saxy Fiona

0:30:30 > 0:30:31and Carolyn from outer space.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35In fourth, it's ball crossing no-meat Marina. In seventh, Rob boy.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38And scraping it through to the next round are

0:30:38 > 0:30:40Professor David Spiegelhalter OBE,

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Ali the penguin king, and guinea-pig Mel.

0:30:42 > 0:30:47All of which means it's time to say goodbye to those eight contestants

0:30:47 > 0:30:50who've been cast out into the Winter Wipeout wilderness.

0:31:18 > 0:31:22That was sad, but there is some good news, because I finished my ice sculpture.

0:31:22 > 0:31:27And here it is! It's too small, isn't it? I've...I've gone too far.

0:31:27 > 0:31:31It's just hard to stop chipping away. I'm going to start again.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Another massive block of ice, please. This one is too small.

0:31:42 > 0:31:47The 12 remaining competitors must mount the Ski Lift and do their utmost to remain standing.

0:31:47 > 0:31:51To help them, they have a podium to perch on, and a bar to hold.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55To hinder them, the Ski Lift spins round whilst two giant

0:31:55 > 0:31:57rotating arms, known as the Scary Ski Poles,

0:31:57 > 0:32:01hurtle round at terrifying speeds whilst getting ever higher.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04The last five ski lifters left hanging will go through to the next round.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08The rest are eliminated, wet and bruised.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16It's a new series and we've got another new game - Ski Lift.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19I am so excited!

0:32:19 > 0:32:20Calm yourself, Byram.

0:32:20 > 0:32:24Remember it's terrifying and the contestants might get smacked in the chops.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26Whatever! Are you all ready?

0:32:26 > 0:32:28ALL: Yes!

0:32:28 > 0:32:31He, he! Three, two, one!

0:32:33 > 0:32:38So here are the first ever Winter Wipeout Ski Lifters.

0:32:39 > 0:32:43She was fastest in the Qualifier. It's suspicious Helen.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46This detective is bringing the fire up!

0:32:46 > 0:32:50Closely followed by saxy Fiona and Carolyn from outer space.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53Joining them, there's Donald Jack.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Ben, you might think you're cool, but I'm going to steal your swagger points today!

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Jack, wake up!

0:32:58 > 0:33:02That's fighting talk from new-school cool Ben.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Old daddy cool John.- Rob, watch out, you might get a punch!

0:33:05 > 0:33:09I got knocked down in round one. Round two is all mine.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11And Rob boy.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Here's guinea-pig Mel. - Ooh-ar, Mel!

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Penguin king Ali.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19And ball crossing no-meat Marina.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22You carnivores are going down!

0:33:22 > 0:33:24There's dozy student James.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27And finally, it's Professor David Spiegelhalter OBE.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31What am I doing here? I don't stand a chance!

0:33:33 > 0:33:35It's snowing!

0:33:35 > 0:33:38The ski pole arms have started.

0:33:38 > 0:33:39Oh, and they are off!

0:33:39 > 0:33:45Now, they will need to jump over both arms, which get raised up as the game goes on.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Remember, the last five still hanging will go through to the next round!

0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Oh, Professor Spiegelhalter! - "I don't stance a chance!"

0:33:51 > 0:33:56All making light work of the ski poles so far.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Oh, Ali!

0:33:59 > 0:34:01There's penguin king Ali.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05No! Oh, slippy, slidey penguin Ali is off.

0:34:07 > 0:34:12Ali cleared the sweep, but got nailed by the returned serve. He's heading back to his penguins.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16My unhappy feet let me down. It's too big.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Every time I tried to jump the sweep, they just caught.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20So one done, 11 to go.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26And there's Professor Spiegelhalter OBE, Rob boy...

0:34:26 > 0:34:28These poles are getting higher now.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29There's John.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31And John again.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33And James.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38- They are not letting go.- No.

0:34:38 > 0:34:42There's Mel. Oh, no, Mel!

0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Oh, Mel!- Mel just couldn't hold on any longer.

0:34:47 > 0:34:51- She is out of the game.- Ooh-ar, get off my ski lift!- How rude, isn't it?

0:34:51 > 0:34:56Guinea-pig Mel showing off a world-class tumble on this brand new obstacle.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02I think I'm doing the farmers proud in Yorkshire, yeah!

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Yeah, I'll name that fall the Yorkshire slurry flop.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07No one else will ever try it.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11With an arm getting higher all the time, it is only getting harder.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14There's Ben and John. And John getting a pounding.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Oh, no! That's James! Oh!

0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Oh, James! - Let's take a look at that again.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25It looks like James was distracted by John's flowery shirt

0:35:25 > 0:35:27and then, clean off.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31It's smacking you, and these tiny little hands couldn't hold on.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Not so much PhD, more Ph neutral.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35OK, I won't try.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39The next four to fall will be out of the competition.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41So there's Fiona. Clear.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44And in! Oh!

0:35:44 > 0:35:48What's happening! This is... Oh! Just pain everywhere.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50What's needed here is a yellow pen. There it is.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54Fiona, as you can see, saxy Fiona clears the first sweep, but not the second,

0:35:54 > 0:35:56thus setting off a catastrophic chain of events.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59Carolyn is destroyed by that ski pole,

0:35:59 > 0:36:03and ends up emblazoned all over Ben's podium.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06Everything hurts out there!

0:36:06 > 0:36:08What can I say?

0:36:08 > 0:36:12It was hard. Really, really hard.

0:36:15 > 0:36:19- I think I got knocked in the face. - Yeah, I saw that.- That was it.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22- I was a gonner. - It's getting really tense now.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25The next two to fall will be out of the competition.

0:36:25 > 0:36:30Marina, suspicious Helen. Professor Spiegelhalter OBE.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Ouch! Oh, oh! Ouch!

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Oh, no!- Just presenting himself to that harm there.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42So undignified, he-he!

0:36:44 > 0:36:49So Professor Spiegelhalter OBE is the next victim of this first Ski Lift.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51All according to plan, of course.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54The plan was shows of brave, brave, sort of heroic efforts,

0:36:54 > 0:36:56and then spectacular failure.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59That's what I was going for, and that's what happened.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02The next person to fall is out.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Oh, and it might be Ben.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Ooh! Ah!

0:37:06 > 0:37:09How is he hanging on?

0:37:10 > 0:37:12And there's John.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17That's no-meat Marina, in trouble. Hold on.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18Oh, hold on!

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Ah! No!

0:37:20 > 0:37:22Oh, no!

0:37:24 > 0:37:29No-meat Marina, so near, but yet so far. And quite badly bruised.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33Had I just stayed on for, you know, a few more seconds, I would have gone through.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Now the last five, let's see who's the last man standing.

0:37:38 > 0:37:42So left in the game and through to the next round are

0:37:42 > 0:37:43John,

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Jack,

0:37:45 > 0:37:48Ben,

0:37:48 > 0:37:49Helen

0:37:49 > 0:37:51and Rob.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55All now playing for the token victory that is last man hanging.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59There's Rob, he's staying on.

0:38:02 > 0:38:03There's John.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Oh, he can't find the podium. No!

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Look at his little legs!

0:38:10 > 0:38:13He can't find where to put his feet on. He's in.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Hair-raising stuff there from the hair replacement manager.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22There's Helen. She has shown a faultless display so far.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Oh, until now!

0:38:27 > 0:38:29And there's Jack and Helen.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31And Jack and Helen.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34And Jack and... Oh, jiggled violently, and that's Helen off.

0:38:36 > 0:38:41Suspicious Helen gets the biggest pummelling of the show so far.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44It doesn't get any better. Ha-ha-ho-ho!

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Ah, ah, oh, oh! He-he!

0:38:52 > 0:38:54So there's Rob.

0:38:56 > 0:38:57Oh!

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Rob's off!

0:39:03 > 0:39:05Oh, just two left.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10Who is it going to be? Is it going to be Ben or Jack? Last man hanging.

0:39:10 > 0:39:15Just Ben and Jack remain fighting for the bragging rights to last man hanging.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19Here's Jack.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20Oh, no!

0:39:20 > 0:39:24And with that tumble new-school cool Ben wins the first ever Ski Lift.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27It's ridiculous and dangerous, and I approve.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31MUSIC: "Unchained Melody" By The Righteous Brothers

0:39:31 > 0:39:35Oh, look, this...this isn't going well. Can I get a hand?

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Oh, what are you doing here?

0:39:38 > 0:39:41I thought you were in the loft looking for the Christmas decorations.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44This is my thing anyway, let's move on.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Time for all new Winter Blunderland.

0:39:47 > 0:39:48Have you washed?

0:39:57 > 0:40:01So this all new round starts with the five remaining contestants

0:40:01 > 0:40:03being put through a sickening spincycle.

0:40:03 > 0:40:08Then, there's a headlong dash to the finish across the Winter Blunderland course.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11As well as lots of rotating foam, they'll also have to avoid

0:40:11 > 0:40:15the oversized hockey pucks in today's theme - the ice arena.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Take a puck to the noggin or fall off the foam,

0:40:18 > 0:40:21and it's a swim and a climb to get back into the game.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24Last one over is out. They then do it all again.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26Last contestant to cross is eliminated,

0:40:26 > 0:40:30and we have the three Wipeout Zone finalists for today.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34This one is brutal. It's Winter Blunderland.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Are you all ready?

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Whatever. Three, two, one!

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Here's a reminder of today's Winter Blunderers.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52He's cool, he's new school. It's new-school cool Ben.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59He does an OK duck impression. It's Donald Jack.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01No way he's 36. It's Rob boy.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Fastest in the Qualifier. It's suspicious Helen.

0:41:07 > 0:41:12And making up the Winter Blunderers is old daddy cool John.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14So as the spinner comes to a stop,

0:41:14 > 0:41:18the last across the ice hockey rink will be eliminated.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21There's Helen and Rob, closely followed by Ben.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23There's Helen, darting onto the frosty flipper.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26And Rob. Oh! Both in.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30They were both looking so good until they got taken out by the icy tee.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32It's back to the start for them.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Right, here's Ben.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40Ooh, ooh.

0:41:40 > 0:41:41Yes! He's over the tee.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43Mind the pucks.

0:41:45 > 0:41:49Oh, and Jack's joined in, onto the crankshaft.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Come on, Ben.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54Oh, Ben. Too cool for school.

0:41:54 > 0:41:55Jack's there.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00He's hanging on, and he's over.

0:42:02 > 0:42:05Oh, and here's Jack. He's in trouble. He's off! Jack is off!

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Now, this is Ben making light work of the roterrotator.

0:42:08 > 0:42:12Just one jump away, so long as the iceberg doesn't dizzy him too much.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Come on.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17Come on, there's Rob. Oh, no! He's in!

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Oh, that just sorted out the men from the boys.

0:42:22 > 0:42:27With that manly fall, Rob boy will have to head back up the ladder to make another attempt.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32Now, there's Ben, picking his moment.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34Getting dizzy, I suspect.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37And Ben is across. He's safe for now.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41- We have Ben.- And he didn't get his hair wet. Amazing!

0:42:41 > 0:42:43John's on the crankshaft.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Oh! This is getting unbearable. There's Jack. Come on.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50Someone's got to get over soon.

0:42:54 > 0:42:58And it's Jack! Jack is through. Just Helen, Rob and John remain.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Helen now, taking it carefully.

0:43:03 > 0:43:07But John closing in. His only hope is that Helen or Rob fall in.

0:43:13 > 0:43:16Helen is across and safe, and so is Rob.

0:43:17 > 0:43:22And that means old daddy cool John is out of the competition.

0:43:22 > 0:43:26- Oh, John. Hard luck, my man.- Oh, nevermind. I gave it my best shot.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29Do you think your big flarey pantaloons got too full of water?

0:43:29 > 0:43:33Well, I'm still dancing away. Nevermind.

0:43:33 > 0:43:37As they say, hair today, gone tomorrow. Hard luck, John.

0:43:37 > 0:43:41- Thanks very much.- See you later. - Thank you.- Bye!

0:43:41 > 0:43:45Strangely dignified in the circumstances. Well done.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51So it's back on the spinner,

0:43:51 > 0:43:55and another nasty experience for Helen, Rob, Jack and Ben.

0:43:55 > 0:43:58Three of them are just minutes away from getting into today's all new Wipeout Zone.

0:44:00 > 0:44:04Here we go. That's Ben and Rob, dashing to the rink.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07Here's Rob. Good jump!

0:44:07 > 0:44:10Oh, no! Exactly the same as the first round.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12Back to the start for him.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15Here we go! Jack is in. Oh, no! There's Ben.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18And here's Helen. Hang on, she's in.

0:44:18 > 0:44:19Here come the pucks.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24There's Ben staying dry again. Here's Rob.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26Oh, no!

0:44:28 > 0:44:32Ben is looking quick. Can anything stop him?

0:44:32 > 0:44:35Yoo-hoo!

0:44:37 > 0:44:39What's Jack playing at?

0:44:39 > 0:44:42Every time he falls, he's using up those vital energy reserves.

0:44:42 > 0:44:45It's another swim back to the start now.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56And with this performance Ben is about to get into the Wipeout Zone.

0:44:56 > 0:44:57Come on, Ben!

0:44:57 > 0:45:01While the rest are way back. Rob now having a go.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06Yes! Hold on, hold on! Good!

0:45:10 > 0:45:11Ben is on the iceberg.

0:45:11 > 0:45:15And new-school cool Ben is into today's Winter Wipeout Zone!

0:45:15 > 0:45:17And he looks quite happy, as he should.

0:45:17 > 0:45:21That's only upped the pressure for the others, of course.

0:45:21 > 0:45:22Here's Jack.

0:45:22 > 0:45:26No, after you, please. It's getting crowded out there now. Look at Helen go.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32Come on, Helen, nearly there.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41Helen is through!

0:45:41 > 0:45:43We have a chick in the final.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46One place still available in the Wipeout Zone.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48Will it be Jack who takes it?

0:45:48 > 0:45:51Rob is out ahead.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Jack is not far behind.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56One more jump for Rob and it's all over for Jack.

0:45:56 > 0:45:59And it is. Rob books the third place in today's Winter Wipeout Zone!

0:45:59 > 0:46:00Ooooh!

0:46:00 > 0:46:04But Donald Jack's challenge is over.

0:46:04 > 0:46:08Oh, Jack, so close, but yet so very, very far!

0:46:08 > 0:46:10SPEAKS LIKE DONALD DUCK

0:46:10 > 0:46:15All right, you are only 18, so I think it's time to go home to your mummy, all right?

0:46:15 > 0:46:21So, tragically, Jack and John have missed out on reaching the all-new Winter Wipeout final round.

0:46:21 > 0:46:28And even more tragically, the lights in here haven't been kind to my amazing ice sculpture.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30It was a perfect replica of a galleon.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33It had like cannons and little pirates on it and everything.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35Goodbye, Siren Of The Sea.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38I'll do an aircraft carrier next time, with little planes on it and everything.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Anyway, back to business, and today's three finalists!

0:46:44 > 0:46:47It hasn't quite sank in that I'm going to be doing the Wipeout Zone.

0:46:47 > 0:46:49It's not something that everybody can do.

0:46:49 > 0:46:52It's not an experience that money can buy.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54My children?

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Yeah, they are going to be overjoyed that I got into the final,

0:46:56 > 0:47:00cos it's one step closer to the little presents they'll probably be getting.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03That's what they'll be worried about.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Me and Rob are probably quite equal.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08It will be quite good to see what happens in the final between us.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12Helen surprised me.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15She's only a real petite girl, but she's really determined.

0:47:15 > 0:47:19She just does it, she does it so well. She doesn't see how much potential she's got.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22Ben, well, he's just phenomenal.

0:47:22 > 0:47:27I might have beaten him in the Qualifier, but he's done phenomenal since that.

0:47:27 > 0:47:29Ben's been the man.

0:47:29 > 0:47:32Ben's been the man all the time, and I can't believe on the last round

0:47:32 > 0:47:34that he never got wet, cos he hates getting wet.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36The boy can't swim.

0:47:36 > 0:47:40He might be quick when his feet are on dry land, but he really struggles with the swimming.

0:47:40 > 0:47:44This is 100% his weakness.

0:47:44 > 0:47:48Hopefully, that will give me enough of an advantage that I can beat him.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53My biggest fear is

0:47:53 > 0:47:54failure and water,

0:47:54 > 0:47:57and not necessarily in that order.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00If he stays dry, I ain't got no chance. He-he!

0:48:00 > 0:48:04But I'd like to win. I didn't come out here to lose.

0:48:04 > 0:48:05Just got to take it like a man.

0:48:05 > 0:48:07The trophy, you know.

0:48:07 > 0:48:10Having that in your front room, over the mantelpiece would be good.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13I can do anything if I put my mind to it.

0:48:13 > 0:48:16I got to the final, so let's see what I can bring.

0:48:24 > 0:48:26It's the Winter Wipeout Zone,

0:48:26 > 0:48:29and the three intrepid finalists face -

0:48:31 > 0:48:32The Flingamajig.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36Ha! Somebody designed that.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Then it's a race against time up the North Pole,

0:48:40 > 0:48:43followed by a climb up the Icy Stairs, each one jiggling violently.

0:48:43 > 0:48:45If they make it over that without a tumble,

0:48:45 > 0:48:49it's a dash past the Ice Picks through the Frightcicles.

0:48:49 > 0:48:54Then across the Impossible Snowflakes to the Finish Podium where the clock stops.

0:48:54 > 0:48:59The fastest wins £10,000 and the first ever Winter Wipeout Trophy.

0:49:01 > 0:49:05We've got snow, we've got smoke, we've got flames.

0:49:05 > 0:49:07Did I mention we've got snow?

0:49:07 > 0:49:10This is the first ever Winter Wipeout Zone.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13And Rob is the first to brave it.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16S-mokin'. I mean, s-nowin'.

0:49:19 > 0:49:22And as Rob boy waits to be fired into the Buenos Aires night sky,

0:49:22 > 0:49:28he must be hoping that this seat has been through a lengthy testing process.

0:49:30 > 0:49:31Ah-ha-ha-ha!

0:49:31 > 0:49:34It has! It worked! Look at that!

0:49:40 > 0:49:43We have lift off!

0:49:43 > 0:49:46So it's a quick swim to the North Pole.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51Uh, he's slipping already, and he's only just begun.

0:49:51 > 0:49:54At the North Pole, now the Icey Stairs.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57I don't quite know what happens next. I've never seen it before!

0:49:58 > 0:50:01I don't know how you could judge these stairs effectively.

0:50:01 > 0:50:03Each one seems to be jiggling mercilessly.

0:50:06 > 0:50:07Oh, it's like bouncing on your bed.

0:50:07 > 0:50:10Rob on the second set now.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13He's actually lifting off.

0:50:13 > 0:50:15He seems planted on that step.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17Come on, jump, Rob, jump!

0:50:17 > 0:50:21Go for it! Onto the third now, making steady progress.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23Oh, I'm feeling a little bit nauseous just watching this.

0:50:27 > 0:50:31Rob at the top of the stairs now, and as with all treacherous climbs,

0:50:31 > 0:50:33it's often the descent that proves the harder.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35Oh-oh...

0:50:35 > 0:50:37This is ridiculous.

0:50:42 > 0:50:45- Oh, no. He's taken a tumble. - Aah! One more, Rob!

0:50:46 > 0:50:48He is still on.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50Nearly at the last hurdle.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53Yes! Oooh!

0:50:53 > 0:50:55Now, for the nasty Ice Picks.

0:50:55 > 0:50:59He is picking his moment to pass the first.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04- Oh, no! It got him!- Aaah!

0:51:05 > 0:51:11Rob was looking so confident. That second pick just caught...well, it caught his bottom.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15So it's a climb to the Frightcicles.

0:51:16 > 0:51:19All right, Rob, you are doing it for the kids. Come on.

0:51:21 > 0:51:25Here we go. Oh, making this look easy.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Again, this is a timing call, as is so often the case.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30Like a scene from Mission: Impossible.

0:51:32 > 0:51:36And that was perfectly timed. Just the Impossible Snowflakes to go.

0:51:36 > 0:51:38I have a bad feeling about that now.

0:51:40 > 0:51:43Oh, no, he's on. Well done, Rob.

0:51:43 > 0:51:45- Oh...oh, no!- No! No!

0:51:46 > 0:51:50There's nothing to hold on to there, so it's a swim and a climb to the Finish Podium.

0:51:50 > 0:51:54Not an easy feat when your energy level are virtually at zero.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58As they must be by now.

0:52:00 > 0:52:05And Rob boy, the first ever contestant to run the Winter Wipeout Zone

0:52:05 > 0:52:08has done so in three minutes and nine seconds.

0:52:08 > 0:52:11Rob, look at you. Smiling to the very end.

0:52:11 > 0:52:15That was tough. And when you get catapulted, you don't know where you are.

0:52:15 > 0:52:19- And it's really slippery on the steps as well.- It's icy out there. You know what I'm saying.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22- It's snowing, man, come on! - I know, it's really tough.

0:52:22 > 0:52:26I can tell you that you did that in a cool three minutes and nine seconds!

0:52:26 > 0:52:31- Yeah!- Well done, you, but you know that Helen is coming up next.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34- Yeah, yeah, she's good as well! - Pretty speedy.- Quick, very quick.

0:52:34 > 0:52:36- All right, let's watch.- OK.

0:52:38 > 0:52:42Now, I wonder if Bristol CID Officer suspicious Helen has detected

0:52:42 > 0:52:46that she's about to get flung 30 feet into the air.

0:52:46 > 0:52:47Cos she is!

0:52:50 > 0:52:52Wow! That must feel...terrible.

0:52:54 > 0:52:57Oh, look at that! What a dive!

0:52:58 > 0:53:01D'oh! If I was given a list of things I couldn't do, that's on it!

0:53:01 > 0:53:04That's an Olympic dive if I ever saw one!

0:53:04 > 0:53:06Ha-ha!

0:53:06 > 0:53:10Helen quickly sliding up that North Pole.

0:53:10 > 0:53:12The crawling technique.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14Onto the Icy Stairs now.

0:53:14 > 0:53:17These do not look easy. She's landed on the first one.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20They also look ridiculous, which probably makes it harder.

0:53:29 > 0:53:33This is good stuff from Helen. Nearly at the summit now.

0:53:33 > 0:53:35She's at the top.

0:53:35 > 0:53:36I can't even watch it.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40Now for that difficult descent. A bit of a slide.

0:53:45 > 0:53:49- Oh-oh, she's head down. She's made it!- Oh, yes!

0:53:49 > 0:53:51Rob could be a bit worried there.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Now, dash past the Ice Picks.

0:53:53 > 0:53:57It's the second that got Rob. Helen's avoided it.

0:53:57 > 0:53:58Oh, but not the third!

0:53:58 > 0:54:01The third one got her.

0:54:02 > 0:54:03Oh, dear!

0:54:05 > 0:54:06In the Frightcicles.

0:54:06 > 0:54:09Rob got across this obstacle without falling in.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Helen can't afford a mistake here.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13She's moved safely to the centre. Goes for the dismount.

0:54:13 > 0:54:15And oh, no, she's in!

0:54:16 > 0:54:19That could be very costly.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Right in the kisser.

0:54:21 > 0:54:24If Helen gets past the Impossible Snowflakes, she can still beat Rob.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28They look impossible.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33- Oh, no! She's down!- Oh!

0:54:33 > 0:54:36The Impossible Snowflakes really are impossible.

0:54:37 > 0:54:41And with that fall, Helen's challenge is effectively over.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44Oh, she's exhausted.

0:54:44 > 0:54:48Helen finishes the Winter Wipeout Zone in three minutes and 25.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50Helen, my darling, come on out.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52Oh, my goodness.

0:54:52 > 0:54:56- You took a fair few batterings out there.- I did, I know.

0:54:56 > 0:54:58Both of you were almost neck-and-neck.

0:55:00 > 0:55:05It wasn't quite pacey enough, I'm afraid, cos Rob was quicker.

0:55:05 > 0:55:08Helen, hard luck. Go join the others.

0:55:08 > 0:55:11Rob, you know what this means?

0:55:11 > 0:55:13- Ben's up next. Let's watch.- OK.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19So now, only new-school cool Ben can defeat Rob.

0:55:19 > 0:55:22Three minutes nine is the time to beat.

0:55:22 > 0:55:25His hair is definitely going to get wet this time.

0:55:26 > 0:55:30Yes! You kind of want to and don't want to have a go on that.

0:55:30 > 0:55:33It's both at the same...I don't, no, I don't.

0:55:39 > 0:55:42So Ben quickly heads to the North Pole.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44And begins the climbing.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47Up he goes. Next, the Icy Stairs. First lot.

0:55:47 > 0:55:50Getting jostled about all over the place.

0:55:50 > 0:55:52I don't know about you, I hate being jostled.

0:55:52 > 0:55:55Oh, my goodness! Oh, Ben!

0:55:56 > 0:55:58Oh! No, no, no!

0:55:59 > 0:56:01Oh, he's onto the second step!

0:56:03 > 0:56:06- And the third.- See, he's got the hang of it now.- Yes!

0:56:08 > 0:56:12And now he's at the top. This is going well. Now, the descent.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14We know what to expect, which only makes it better for us.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17Here we go. Oh, he's on!

0:56:17 > 0:56:19No, he's down! Ben is down!

0:56:21 > 0:56:26Oh, worse news for him. He has to go back to the start of the Icy Stairs and try again.

0:56:28 > 0:56:32Deadly combination - painful and ridiculous.

0:56:33 > 0:56:36Attempt two. This is going to be disheartening. But Ben is going well.

0:56:36 > 0:56:38- He's over this time.- Oh!

0:56:40 > 0:56:42Ben needs a flawless finish now.

0:56:44 > 0:56:47But he is passed the Ice Picks.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49And he makes it to the middle.

0:56:52 > 0:56:57And Ben's over, but what he doesn't realise is he can't beat Rob's time.

0:56:57 > 0:57:01As far as Ben's concerned, he's still trying his best, so he's hanging on.

0:57:03 > 0:57:07He is...hanging on a bit too long, because now... Oh, no!

0:57:08 > 0:57:10Oh, no! No, no!

0:57:10 > 0:57:12Oh, he's in! Oh, no!

0:57:12 > 0:57:16As if to add insult to injury, he's got his hair wet again.

0:57:16 > 0:57:19Yeah, look, definitely wet.

0:57:19 > 0:57:23- New-school cool Ben finishes in four minutes, 45.- Oh, he's done for.

0:57:25 > 0:57:29Benny boy. Oh, you do not look pleased.

0:57:29 > 0:57:32No. That was a bad effort.

0:57:32 > 0:57:35It's a pretty tough course to get around.

0:57:35 > 0:57:37The stairs are difficult.

0:57:37 > 0:57:41You were fantastic here all day, Ben. Mr Cool.

0:57:41 > 0:57:44But I'm afraid you just lost your swag,

0:57:44 > 0:57:48because, Rob, you are the very first Winter Wipeout Champion!

0:57:50 > 0:57:53Yeah, baby!

0:57:53 > 0:57:58So babyface Rob Scott, a 36-year-old plumber from Bedfordshire is the first ever Winter Wipeout Champion.

0:57:58 > 0:58:01And if that wasn't exciting enough,

0:58:01 > 0:58:05guess what exciting wintery event is only a week away.

0:58:05 > 0:58:07Is it the Thanksgiving Special? No?

0:58:07 > 0:58:10Easter? Pirate? Christmas!

0:58:10 > 0:58:14Are you kidding me! I love Christmas! I'm hoping they'll be lots of this.

0:58:14 > 0:58:16- Aah!- And this.

0:58:17 > 0:58:20And maybe some of this.

0:58:25 > 0:58:28Ho-ho! And, as I've always said, Ho.

0:58:28 > 0:58:31But for now, from Amanda and me, it's a warm winter goodbye.
