0:00:02 > 0:00:05There are some things every heroic Brit should do before they die.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09A wilderness trek to see the aurora borealis.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Husky-sled along a frozen river with a real life Eskimo.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And the most daring of them all,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19have a go on the Winter Wipeout course!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Probably best leave this one till last.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Tonight, 20 brave battlers,
0:00:24 > 0:00:28including a grave digger, a pet detective and a whisky taster,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30will take on the wintry weirdness.
0:00:30 > 0:00:3419 will leave empty-handed, just one will be crowned champion
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and limp off with £10,000.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Let the big freeze begin!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Welcome to Winter Wipeout.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47This show makes me proud.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Proud to play a part, however small,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53in a show which celebrates ordinary Brits doing extraordinary
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and sometimes painful things.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59But I think everyone knows who suffers the most...
0:00:59 > 0:01:00It's me.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05For close to an hour every week, I have to sit here on this stool
0:01:05 > 0:01:06and talk a bit.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Lower-back support is non-existent, my coffee is frequently too milky
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and some of the words are really hard to say.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Like "Qualifier." That's a tricky one and I have to say it loads!
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Anyway, on with the people's show,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and here's what today's people will face.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The Qualifier - a hard word to say.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Ski Lift - a hard game to play.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Winter Blunderland - hardly a walk in the park.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And the Wipeout Zone - hardest to say, even harder to win.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I don't really know why they've cut back to me again.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- Do I usually do a bit here? - Yep, every week.- All right. OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Well, hello! And then is it normally something about Amanda
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and the first contestant or something? I...
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Well, there are many outfits that I like to wear when I'm exercising -
0:02:01 > 0:02:07my leotard, my running vest, my hard hat, but never my Japanese headband!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Sian, what is with the headband?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I did judo, and I got this in Japan.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14'Hoo-ha-huh-hee-ya!'
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- You do realise you've got a big red ball on your headband?- Exactly!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Hopefully, I'm not going to kind of face-plant onto it like that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:2728-year-old judo champion Sian
0:02:27 > 0:02:29is the first to tackle today's Qualifier.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Where's your lucky headband gone? - Hi-ya-saka!
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Yep, got that.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Uh-huh.- 'Hee-ya!'- OK.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- HORN BLOWS - Sian's off and making her way to today's first obstacle.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42She's venturing into Snowman's Land.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Many have suffered at the hands of the Snowmen Splat.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49As well as being a judo champion Sian is also a supply teacher.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53There, you see? Playground duty. Good practice.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well, recovered, though, and on to the second set. Here we go!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Ooh, no! Oh!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I don't think that was a judo move!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04A move it was, judo it wasn't.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06But she's up, just about.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10And onto the next obstacle. It is Granny's House!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Granny's a bit grouchy. It's pension day and there was a massive queue at the Post Office.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Always puts her in a bad mood. She doesn't like visitors.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Let's see how Sian gets on with her.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Looks wary.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Ooh-oof-ooh!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- SHE SQUEALS - Japanese for "help" there, I think.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30It's not over yet.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Still got Tevez the dog and Granny's back door. Safely past Tevez...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and the door too! Very rarely seen. Making good time,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41which is just as well, as only the fastest 12
0:03:41 > 0:03:42will qualify for the next round.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45But the next obstacle's a biggie.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Well, it's four biggies. It's the Big Red Balls, preceded by the Travelator,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53which moves at a steady Argentine pace of 0.6mph.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57She's on. Can the Japanese-loving judo champ join the elite ball crossers' club?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Here we go!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- SHE SCREAMS - Oh!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Ooh! Yep, I don't think that was judo either!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07SHE BURPS
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Hopefully I'm not going to kind of face-plant onto it like that!
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- You did Sian.- Face-plant. - Yeah. No, exactly like that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- SHE SCREAMS - It was like you were practicing for it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So it's a swim to the ladder for Sake Sian,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23before facing the final obstacle.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26It won Argentine sculpture of the year award.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Months of chiselling, sanding and shaving to produce two wobbly logs
0:04:29 > 0:04:31and a bit in the middle that turns.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32As far as I can see.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Sian, meet the Log Jam. That's it, keep hold of that grip.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38No?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41No. Shame!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44With a slightly damp ego and a very sore head,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Sake Sian climbs to the finish in a very reasonable
0:04:47 > 0:04:50three minutes 15 seconds.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- What happened to your lucky headband? - I thought I was going to lose it straight away, and couldn't risk it.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00This is Lawrence. He's a driving instructor.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Hi! But wait for it, he's also...
0:05:03 > 0:05:07A ballet dancer! Ye-e-es!
0:05:07 > 0:05:11He's volunteering to do this, we didn't make him!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18No mirrors, no signal! Just...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Manoeuvre!- I never had to do that manoeuvre in my driving test.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Things change, don't they? Here we go. Hold on, he wasn't kidding!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Look at this! Hang on a second!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32He'll need his eyes on the road for this one.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36That's one minor fault. Should have anticipated that pie.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37How's he still on his feet?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He's not. He is! Watch out for the dog!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And the doormat!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Oh, this is... I can't... Oh!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Right, Big Ball time.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52He's been light on his feet so far, but can he jete over these monsters?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Moment of commitment. This is... Oh!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Hang on, hang on, he's on the second ball! That is some balance going on!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Three, four, oh, yeah! This could be amazing!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09And this is amazing!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12First ball-crosser of the day. Certainly setting the standard now.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Can he keep his dignity on the Log Jam?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16WO-O-OAH!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Oh, no. See, one thing goes well, the other... Oh.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Oh, dear, I think his engine might be flooded.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29And it appears they don't teach swimming
0:06:29 > 0:06:30at ballet class, unfortunately.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Come on, Lawrence! The clock is ticking and you're doing so well!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37That's it, back on full throttle. Yes!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, he's done it! Ballet driver Lawrence finishes
0:06:41 > 0:06:43in a pretty speedy two minutes 26 seconds,
0:06:43 > 0:06:45which is rather impressive.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You crossed the big red balls!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yes! So pleased about that.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Well done, we'll see you later, darling. Pirouette that way!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- There he goes.- Taxi! - That's a rubbish pirouette!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I can do better than that!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03This is 31-year-old Jody from Boscombe.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04She's a...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Ooh, digging. A gardener?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- SHE ROARS - On minimum wage!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Am I right? Did I get it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I've actually brought you a little gift.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Really?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's from a coffin!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I thought you might like it!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28I'm creeped out! Is anyone else? Whose coffin has that come from?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I'm going to bury this course or I'm going to die tryin'!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35That's the spirit! Please don't. There's a lot of forms.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38It turns out Jody is a third-generation gravedigger,
0:07:38 > 0:07:39which is pretty impressive.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Yeah! She's also pretty quick. Look at that!
0:07:42 > 0:07:46not sure how Granny's going to feel about gravediggers, though.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Yeah, she's not going to like that.- Oh, no!- Heh.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53SHE SCREAMS
0:07:53 > 0:07:56That's thorough! Don't even mention cemeteries!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Back up the steps for more of Granny's goodness.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04DOG BARKS
0:08:04 > 0:08:07That was pure badness.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Jody's not good with doors. More used to lids, I guess!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Onto the logs, and Jodiggity is wrestling with the red flippy bit.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- # Oh, I like the way you work it - No diggity...
0:08:22 > 0:08:27On to the second log. One last gasp and she could be resting in peace... for eternity.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- # No diggity - No diggity
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- # I've got to bag it up... # - Oh, nope! Six feet under.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Still, after a death-defying run,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Jodiggity reaches the end in three minutes 23.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Come on!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42# One foot in the grave. #
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Next it's trainee teacher, Amy.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48She loves bobsleigh and today she's brought her lucky charm.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Which is... an egg.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Is this the same egg that you bring everywhere with you?- It is.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- How long have you had this for? - Er, quite a while!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Eugh, don't kiss it! That thing must honk!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Who wants to kiss my lucky egg?!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Anyone?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- TANNOY VOICE:- 'Excuse me, sorry. No eggs are allowed on the course.'
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Ah, yeah.- Egg police, spoiling everyone's fun as usual.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Good egg Amy is off. Here we go! Oh, hello! She's nifty!
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- SHE YELPS - Ow!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Great reflex. Can she do this again?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Wow! Yes, she can!- Wow! Wow!
0:09:26 > 0:09:31Keep this up and she'll be sailing through to the next round.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Oh!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh, no!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37# I guess I'm just
0:09:37 > 0:09:40# A lucky so and so. #
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Still, it's back up the steps for a second dose.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Tevez dodged. Oh, amazing door-ducking!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh, yes! Eggsellent!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Good egg Amy is flying through this Qualifier!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But it's not over yet. Just the Log Jam to go.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Make or break now...
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Oh, it's break. Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Even so, Good egg Amy reaches the finish in a time
0:10:11 > 0:10:13of two minutes 30 seconds,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16just four seconds slower than ballet driver, Lawrence.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18DIABOLICAL LAUGH
0:10:18 > 0:10:21This is Aaron. He's a phlebotomist.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25And that's got nothing to do with bottoms.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29It means he takes blood. Oh, he's supposed to be a vampire?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I don't think I can go any further, actually,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36without asking you about your attire, cos I'm not sure where to look!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oops-a-daisy!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Oh, this is awkward, all round.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Cover yourself up, man! It's winter! That's better!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48OK, speedy pants Aaron on the balls. Here he goes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yes, yes!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Yes! Oh, disappointing!
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Superb effort, that,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00with a rare reverse head scrape to the fourth ball.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Seldom seen.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Aaron now tackling the logs.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Look! His grip is tighter than his pants. Just about holding on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Can he make it to the second log? Yes, good crash landing.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15He's definitely out to impress.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19No, no, got dumped.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Still, with a time of two minutes 20,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24speedy pants Aaron jumps to the top of the snowboard.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- SHE BARKS - This is Sam and she is a real life pet detective.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Come on, then. Where are you? Come on!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- SHE WHISTLES - No Ace Ventura is she?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Come on, where are you?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Right, Sam, so let's say my Chihuahua,
0:11:41 > 0:11:46whose name is Hammond, by the way... So let's say Hammond goes missing
0:11:46 > 0:11:48while doing his business in the front garden.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- What would you do? - My first question is,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53do you want Hammond back or are you quite glad to see him go?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56No, I love Hammond! I'll have him back!
0:11:56 > 0:12:02Woah, Hammond? Amanda's got a dog called Hammond?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08My name is Hammond! Well, what a coincidence! This is incredible!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Right, this dog has to be found!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I'm going to organise a search party.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17But I need a posse, and one of those whistles that you can't hear.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Do they even work? How do you know?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- # Who let the dogs out? # - Let's unleash Sam on the snowmen.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- SHE SCREAMS - Ooh!
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yep, oh. Oh, dear!
0:12:27 > 0:12:32It's funny, that is the second scissor split of the day. So fashionable today.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36So can this pet detective sneak her way past Granny's house?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39No, she can't, at all.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Sam Ventura once climbed Kilimanjaro,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46now she's about to climb four killer balls. Here we go!
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh! Good effort!
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Soaring high like someone's missing budgerigar.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Or a parrot.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Log Jam, then. Here we go.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Ooh, yep, getting a closer look at log two.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Come on now, Sam!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Doing very well to get up onto her feet and stay there.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Will she be the first to clear the logs today?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Yes, she's done it!
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Four minutes six seconds might not be the fastest time of the day
0:13:19 > 0:13:21but it could still see her through.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Time for a Snowboard.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Speedy pants Aaron whoops into first place,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29with ballet driver Lawrence second and good egg Amy in third.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Sake Sian's got a judo-hold on fourth,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33whilst Jodiggity digs down in fifth,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37and Sam Ventura's propping up the bottom in sixth.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43Nothing. Nobody's seen Amanda's dog, nobody's even heard of Amanda's dog.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46One little old lady suggested it was all a wild goose chase,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49until I pointed out, "I'm looking for a dog!"
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And to make matters worse, I've sustained an injury.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I got a paper cut putting the posters up. Look, that's blood. Oh, it must have dropped off.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00I think I need medical attention for this. As luck would have it,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03the next three competitors are all medical professionals!
0:14:03 > 0:14:0652-year-old Sylvia is a nurse from Norwich.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Sylvia, did you get on the wrong coach at the airport?
0:14:09 > 0:14:14No, I found the correct coach straight away. I'm very sensible!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Ben's 26 and works as an ambulance operations manager in Hornchurch.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21HE ROARS
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- MIMICS AMBULANCE SIREN - He's scaring me.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27If you were to win here today, what would you do with the money?
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Er, I'd treat my mum.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Are we a bit of a mummy's boy?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I am very much a mummy's boy, yeah.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38And Chris. A 24-year-old junior doctor in Stockport.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Do the ladies love Doctor Chris?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42I think they do, yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I think everyone has a bit of a soft spot for a man wearing
0:14:45 > 0:14:46a stethoscope, maybe?
0:14:46 > 0:14:51# No need to ask He's a smooth operator... #
0:14:51 > 0:14:54OK, good bedside manner.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Yeah, terrible dancing. Yeah, don't do that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03So, who is the perkiest practitioner?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Sensible nurse Sylvia's first on the scene.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Oh! Comes a cropper on the Snowmen.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Better dial 999.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Blue light Ben's there in a flash and doing better.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Oh!- Yes!- Oh... Oh, that looked painful. Doctor!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Dr Who? It's Dr Chris and I'm here
0:15:25 > 0:15:27to get your heart racing.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30No, please don't - I'm on tablets. I'm not supposed to.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Dr Smooth is looking good, actually.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Oh, I prescribe a healthy dose of Granny's House for him.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Yeah. When I say healthy, I meant unhealthy.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Granny doesn't like doctors, for some reason.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Just don't get her started.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59Second set of Snowmen for sensible nurse Sylvia. Taking it steady. Oh!
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Argh!
0:16:01 > 0:16:06Blue light Ben making a house call. I like his approach.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And it nearly worked!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Paging Dr Smooth to the Big Ball ward.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Oh! Crash team.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Dr Who?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Ben's turn now.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Oh!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Oh...can he?
0:16:29 > 0:16:34Oh... Steady, Ben. Yes, could he be the second ball-crosser of the day?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38No.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Sensible nurse Sylvia on the logs.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Off the logs. That is not standard operating procedure.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Dr Smooth, now - looking faster.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Oh! Argh...might want to get that looked at.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Ah! Now, prognosis is looking good.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04One more jump and he'll get the all-clear.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Yes! A very quick two minutes and 11 seconds -
0:17:09 > 0:17:12just what the doctor ordered. Well done, team.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Woo!- Next is student, Natalie.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23She loves to dance... in a traditional Ukrainian style.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25SHE CRASHES
0:17:25 > 0:17:29I'm doing it! Ukrainian-style.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And in a Rochdale accent, unless I'm much mistaken. And she's off!
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Look at those Roch-krainian legs go. Oh! Aww, she kissed the Snowman.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Probably a national tradition. Here she goes again.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Yes!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Granny's House. Granny speaks fluent Ukrainian.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51But prefers sign language.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I think Natalie got the message, there.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Onto the Log Jam now and Natalie claims that
0:18:01 > 0:18:04because of her Ukrainian shape, she can chop logs with her calves.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06This should be interesting.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Certainly crunching those calves into action, there.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Preparing for the final jump.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16She's going to do it! Yes! Yes...
0:18:16 > 0:18:17No.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Oh, no!
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Despite that fall, Roch-krainian Natalie finishes in two minutes
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and 44 seconds - not bad.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I still can't breathe I'm that much out of breath,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and probably that unfit as well.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36This is John from Edinburgh.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37He's a whisky blender
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and he knows his whisky.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41THEY MAKE A TOAST
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Bless you.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Oh, he's heading for the sideboard!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Watch out for the crystal decanter - it's just... Hmmm.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52How is being a whisky blender going to help you out there today?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Primarily, it's all in the nose.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55HE HICCUPS
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- I think you're drunk. - You're not wrong.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Like a good dram, I'm going to be balanced, smooth and dry to the end.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And I don't take my whisky with ice.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Puts on his whisky goggles. Ah, whisky vision. Handy.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Heading straight for last orders.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Oh, hang on - that's pretty impressive.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20I don't know what that's about.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24John's been a whisky blender for five years.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26He's got a great sense of smell.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Not so sure about his vision or his balance.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33I'm worried John's breath might melt the snow on Granny's House. Oh, no!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Kids, that's why you shouldn't drink.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38He's going to have a headache in the morning.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Leaps Tevez.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Oh...
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Oh!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Looks like a brawl in a celtic bar.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Let's see if those goggles help him on the Big Balls.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Onto the Travellator. That's nice.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Oh, hang on, he's a bit wobbly.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Oh, no! That didn't help. At all.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08HICCUP!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Oh, dear.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So, Whiskey in the John finishes in a rather good 2:17.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Can someone get him a strong black coffee?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I think he's had one for the road.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I think possibly I shouldn't have had as many shots of my whiskey
0:20:24 > 0:20:28before I went round, would have maybe been a better idea.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Next, this is John.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33The second John.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36This could get confusing. How am I meant to tell them apart?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Do you have any beardy heroes like,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I don't know, Karl Marx or... Noel Edmonds?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I think you can't go any further than Henry VIII.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Henry VIII is the beardiest beardie ever. He's fantastic.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I'm not sure about that. Didn't he get through six wives?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I hope he's not planning on following suit.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Actually, John II only has one wife whom he recently wed.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01That was the last time he shaved, apparently. Oh!
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Oh, no!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Probably regrets the whole beard now,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07be kind of dragging him down, waterlogged.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09The stairs, John!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10It'll take days to dry it
0:21:10 > 0:21:13and it's dragging him in the wrong direction.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16I think all that facial hair's gone to his head.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Well, it's on his head, isn't it?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24OK, the second set, same as the first.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Oh, exactly the same as the first.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Another right royal soaking.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32John is an aspiring journalist
0:21:32 > 0:21:36who will be looking to make headlines here, probably.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Maybe you could use your legs, it might actually help?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Overrated,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45what's the point of a Travelator if...oh!
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Right, we'll come back to John,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50give him some time to compose himself and his beard.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Let's move on to, uh, John.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Hello, hello, hello.- Hold on, is everyone called John now?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I'm sorry, I need to consult the diagram.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01"Is his name John?" Yes.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03"Is he drunk?" No.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06"Does he look like Henry VIII?"
0:22:06 > 0:22:08No...no, he doesn't.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Then he must be John the policeman or John Prescott.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17Was he Deputy Prime Minister between 1997 and 2007?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- No!- No? No.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Then it's John the policeman! Right, sorted.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'm a police officer, and nobody has ever got away from me yet,
0:22:25 > 0:22:26so that's my claim to fame.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30Our first speedy copper. I've got to see this. Can we do a beep test?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Go for it.- Beep!
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- Beep.- Beep.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Beep.- Beep.- Beep.- Beep.- Beep.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- What?- Was that fast enough? - No, you've got to run!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Beep!- Beep.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48So, beep man John is on his, actually rather impressive, way.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Wow! Snowmen aren't giving him any trouble.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54They don't want to get arrested for obstructing an officer.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Beep.- Beep.- Beep.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57On to Granny's House now,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01she'll be glad to see a bobby on the beat, like the old days.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Oh! Ow.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07John lives on a houseboat with no central heating
0:23:07 > 0:23:10so this icy water shouldn't be a problem for him.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Here we go. One, two. Oh!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Oh, hang on, hang on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Three...
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Oh, John.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Four! Can he make the final leap?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Wow! Impressive work from the Southampton-based copper.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30But no time to celebrate, he still has the Log Jam to go.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Still looking impressive.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34John, you can do it!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36I think he can.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38No! No!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Still, 1:54 is a fantastic time
0:23:43 > 0:23:46that puts John at the top of the snowboard.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Hold on, who's this?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I recognise the beard. Bob. Bill? Henry, oh, yeah! It's John II.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55He's been on The Qualifier for over five minutes now
0:23:55 > 0:23:57and looks like he's in no hurry.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Hang on, hang on. He's on his feet.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Can he victoriously beat the Log Jam?
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Oh, no.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07He's been sent down.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12But credit where it's due.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It may not be the fastest time, nevertheless he made it!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22That's the thing with all that hair on your face,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24it's weighing you down, isn't it?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27It is, it is. I was not prepared for this at all.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31As you'd expect, beep man John is in pole position.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Whiskey in the John takes third
0:24:33 > 0:24:35and ballet driver Lawrence is fifth.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Roch-krainian Natalie is in seventh
0:24:37 > 0:24:39and right down at the bottom,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41there's blue light Ben and John II,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44sadly pushing sensible nurse Sylvia out of the top 12.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49So far, 13 competitors have tackled The Qualifier.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Most of them have been called John, had beards and been drunk,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56or all three of those things at once.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57What's needed now
0:24:57 > 0:25:01is a bit of grace, charm and poise to redress the balance.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Unfortunately, the rules stipulate I'm unable to compete,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07so instead, here are the next three contestants.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11There's Dom, a personal trainer from North London.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Listen up, men!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15This missy is going to do full throttle,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18and I'm in it to win it, so be-ware!
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Then there's Stephanie, rugby player and chalet botherer.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Rrgh!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Go hard or go home!
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Also saying "Rawr!" is mum and circus performer Sarah from Bedford.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33I'm no walkover!
0:25:34 > 0:25:39I'm going to annihilate this course! Woo!
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So, Sarah's off to visit the Snowmen.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Oh.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Rugby player Stephanie, also struggling.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Yow.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Yeah, that's a scrum down she won't forget.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Here's personal trainer Dom to show them how it's done!
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Ouch!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, that is one way to do it.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Granny's House now.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06And she's met her match.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Sarah's a toughie.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Ah!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Not toughie enough, though.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Stephanie, ready for a ruck.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Definitely got one!
0:26:29 > 0:26:30And then another one.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Now she's having a rolling maul with the Log Jam.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Nice try!
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Unluckily, that second log doesn't have a bar bit on it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Is this some sort of haka?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Maybe it could work. No, spoke too soon.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Let's see if Dom-bell can make it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54No, outcome's the same.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Last chance now for Cirque de Sarah. Pretty good.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03And she lands on her imaginary trapeze!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Fantastic, without looking like a clown. Super work.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09This is Sebastian.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11He's what the kids call a cool dude,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14a hip cat, a real slick daddy-o.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I don't think his cardigan fits properly, does it?
0:27:19 > 0:27:24You literally are the coolest person I think I've ever seen in my life.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25What's the umbrella for?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I can balance an umbrella.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Will you wear my hat? - Of course I will.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- And this is... is going to help? - Now you're just showing off.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Nah, didn't help.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Seb and his cardie off to Granny's.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Too cool for her.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53He's about to meet the coolest obstacles known to man,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56the Big Red Balls. Who will come out the coolest?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Yeah. It's always the balls.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Sebastian sells his own clothing range from a market stall in London.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15I wonder if he does enormous waistcoats.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Oh, good landing.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Up onto his feet.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Well done, a great time.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Joint first so far today.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29This is Mark from Surrey.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Mark's known for his monster 'tache,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34drumming and laid-back attitude to life.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- Woo! Woo!- Warming up, I see.- Woo!
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Woo-hoo!- Woo-hoo! Woo!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44HORN BLOWS
0:28:44 > 0:28:47It's infectious, this whooping.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Blimey, look at him go.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Clears the Snowmen!
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Howling Mark howls his way to Granny's House.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57What traps has she got hidden?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Oh! A snare in the face.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Woo!- You can't stop this guy, he's back up for more.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11And Granny gives him just that.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Is he just going to woo-hoo all the way around the course?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Oh, he is. He doesn't stop.
0:29:18 > 0:29:2234-year-old Mark is a music lecturer
0:29:22 > 0:29:25so he'll want to thrash out a big beat on the Big Red Balls
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- for his students. Here he goes.- Woo!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Yeah. Ooh!
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Entertaining, all the same.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45After that storming run, howling Mark comes home in 1:57.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Howl on. Final two to go.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51That's Simon carrying his wife, Sheba.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Both are professional artists, and they live in their loveshack
0:29:55 > 0:30:00on the delightfully-named Eel Pie Island.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04I'm sorry, what on earth are the two of you doing?
0:30:04 > 0:30:08We're doing your caricature. She's actually very pretty, isn't she?
0:30:08 > 0:30:13I'm really curious now, are you finished yet? I want to see myself!!
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Are we ready?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- Ha-ha-ha!- Yeah, pretty good!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- I really like that. Simon? - That's what I've done.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- I'm not as fast as her.- I really like that, too!- That's better.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Here we go!
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Sheba's enjoying a bit of a boogie. I've no idea what Simon's doing.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Some serious '70s moves there.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- # That's the way...- I've never heard of the '70s, I'm just too young.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- # That's the way... - Oh, right in the pencil!
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- # I like it...- Sheba's turn - will she do better? No!
0:30:43 > 0:30:45No! It also hurts!
0:30:45 > 0:30:51Well recovered, though. What will Simon make of Granny's House?
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Not a lot.- Oh, no, he's got an eel pie in the face!
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Mmm, eel pie!
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Now to get another artist's perspective on this...
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Not that different, really.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Time to meet the art world's four meanest critics, the Big Red Balls.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Here he goes...
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Yes...
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Aagh!
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Oh - they didn't think much of Simon's work.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Sheba's turn.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Runs along the Travelator.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Here we go... Oh, more harsh criticism from the Balls.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32"I didn't like it. Mmm..."
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Simon now, on the Logs.- Aaagh! - Gets a bosh on the head.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Aagh!- And another bosh on the head.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Aagh!- And another - he's just getting boshed on the head.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48One more log to go... Oh, no! Head first, straight in.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52But he's done it. That puts him in 12th place, and into the next round.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55And he's celebrating in the wrong direction.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Over here!
0:31:59 > 0:32:04Sheba, sadly, with that, will not be going through. I think she knows it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- But she came to do the course... - Oh! Aagh!
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Oh. ..even if that does mean falling off EVERYTHING.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Come on, give it some. Come on!
0:32:15 > 0:32:20Nevertheless, she finishes in 4 minutes 34, a noble attempt.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Let's take a look at the final snowboard.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Seb and his Cardie and Beep Man John shared first place.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Speedy Pants Aaron squeezes into sixth.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31In seventh, it's Ballet Driver Lawrence.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Then it's Dom-Bell in 10th, with Cirque du Sarah
0:32:35 > 0:32:38and Sheba's Better Half grabbing the last two spots.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Don't worry, Sheba, I'm sure Simon will make it up to you.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46MUSIC: "Je T'Aime" by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg
0:32:46 > 0:32:47# Je t'aime
0:32:47 > 0:32:49# Je t'aime... #
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- DOOR SLAMS - Aaagh!
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Aaagh!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Do we have to do cartoony jokes like that?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00This is a serious sports star programme.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Hammond Gram for Richard! >
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Oh, for me! - TICKING
0:33:05 > 0:33:08It's probably that thing I ordered...
0:33:10 > 0:33:14Yep, very funny. Hang on, there is a note in here. It says,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18"Unfortunately, Lawrence had to withdraw from the competition,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21"which means Sake Sian takes his place in Ski Lift.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25"Sorry about the exploding package. Yours truly, the Head of the BBC.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29"PS This is your cue to say goodbye to the losers."
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Is it?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33# Don't you
0:33:33 > 0:33:37# Forget about me
0:33:37 > 0:33:40# Don't, don't, don't, don't
0:33:40 > 0:33:42# Don't you
0:33:42 > 0:33:43# Forget about me
0:33:43 > 0:33:48# I said, la, la-la-la-la
0:33:48 > 0:33:50# La-la-la-la
0:33:50 > 0:33:54# La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la... #
0:34:04 > 0:34:08The Ski Lift - improving mountain travel since 1936.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Although not always the safest. - Ow! Ow!
0:34:11 > 0:34:15But nothing wreaks havoc quite like the Winter Wipeout Ski Lift.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Aaagh!- Aaagh!
0:34:17 > 0:34:2012 contestants, 12 podiums,
0:34:20 > 0:34:2212 dangling handley...things.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Last five left hanging go through to the next round.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Hold on to your salopettes, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I am so in love with life today.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35The sun is shining, the snow is crisp and even
0:34:35 > 0:34:39and the contestants are terrified beyond belief - what a perfect day!
0:34:39 > 0:34:42It's Ski Lift. Are you all ready?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Yeah!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Three, two, one...!
0:34:46 > 0:34:51Here's a quick who's who of who's riding Ski Lift.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Sheba's Better Half, Simon...
0:34:53 > 0:34:57For you, Sheba, my queen, morituri te salutant!
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Sebastian and his Cardy and Beep Man John.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04What could possibly go wrong?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- Howling Mark...- With the finest moustache in the land,
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I shall endeavour to win the prize of ten grand.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Rochkrainian Natalie...- He-hee!
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- Sake Sian... - SHE SQUEALS
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Cirque du Sarah...- Oh, my days!
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Good Egg Amy...- I don't like it!
0:35:23 > 0:35:26..and Dom-Bell.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Finally, there's Speedy Pants Aaron, Whisky In The John...
0:35:29 > 0:35:33This blend is full-bodied and fiery - I'm sticking around.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35..and Doctor Smooth...
0:35:35 > 0:35:39I'm going to have a few more patients to treat after this game.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- # Smooth operator...- Oh, I don't think they're interested.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48And they're off! Well, they're still on, but the thing is off,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51if you see what I mean - and so are the Ski Poles.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56There's a lot of bicep work in this. Personally, I like doing chin-ups
0:35:56 > 0:35:59whilst being swung about and squirted with snow - I imagine.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Whisky In The John safely over.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Simon, just opting for the...hover-and-hope.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Natalie - safe.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Dom-Bell, too.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Ooh, Sian's been hit!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17And again!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I think she took out Dom!
0:36:19 > 0:36:23And who's this? Sarah's down as well.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25First to bow out was Sake Sian.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Yeah, not feeling my best at the moment.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Really disappointed to be the first one out.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I took Dom out as well, I don't know if she's happy with me.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Wrong place at the wrong time for Dom.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38And Sarah made it a hat-trick.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Sian went off, knocked into Dominique, then the Sweeper came,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45and I was just gone, basically, face planted in the snow.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49So, nine still hanging, but the next round is for just five.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Natalie, rolling with the punches.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Now swinging...
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Oh, she's not letting go!
0:36:58 > 0:37:01She is like a crane from Ukraine!
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Aagh!- Doctor Smooth, being treated rough!
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- He's crashing - we've lost him. - Who was that?!
0:37:09 > 0:37:12# No need to ask, he's a smooth operator... #
0:37:12 > 0:37:15You could compare it to the A&E room.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- There was stuff flying everywhere, it was crazy.- Aagh!
0:37:18 > 0:37:23I guess what I need to do is just work on my response time a bit.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- So... - MUSIC STOPS
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Eight remain. The next three to fall are out.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Ski Poles working well.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35This is Natalie... Ooh, and she's out!
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Very, very out.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42I think my Ukrainian genes harboured my process a little bit
0:37:42 > 0:37:46because of the, er, massive ghetto booty, it kept getting clipped.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- SQUEAKING - The Ukrainian bum got in the way.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Aaagh!
0:37:52 > 0:37:56The Ski Poles see neither gender nor race.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Everyone's just fodder. Whisky In The John coming round...
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Aaagh!- Ooh, body blow! He's in!
0:38:04 > 0:38:09- Highlander...flung. - I've had some hangovers and some experiences in my life,
0:38:09 > 0:38:11but nothing compared to that. Whoo!
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Aagh!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16If I've ever deserved a whisky, it's today.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Cheers! Best after, not before.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Six left hanging, but we only need five.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Ooh, is Amy about to go?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28One more, people, just one more!
0:38:28 > 0:38:32But who will just miss out on the next round?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35There is Howling Mark, Beep Man John, Good Egg Amy,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Sebastian and his Cardy, Speedy Pants Aaron
0:38:38 > 0:38:41and Sheba's Better Half, Simon.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45And the Ski Poles are getting higher now.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Look at Simon and Mark - are they glued on?!
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Sebastian go... Ooh, gone!
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Oh!
0:38:56 > 0:38:59People went in around me, so I was in a good position.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- I feel like I've wasted. - Yeah, afraid you did.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- That little bit of extra height was all I needed.- Yeah, I've said that.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11So, the five going through are decided - why hasn't it stopped?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14It's last man - or woman - hanging.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Oh, yeah, this bit is just for fun.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Here we go - Amy takes a whack... and cracks.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25Never mind, she's still safely through, this is just for fun. Huh!
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I'm not really sure how much higher those Ski Poles go.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32But this lot are still jumping them.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Simon suffering - can he hold on?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Ooh...!
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- Aagh!- No, takes a well-earned dip.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Sheba's proud.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46I'm not sure what happened, maybe he's just had enough.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52Aaron hanging in there, Beep Man John, Aaron again...!
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Takes a Ski Pole to the shoulder!
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Howling Mark holding on for dear life. Oh, double whammy!
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- Oo-hoo-hoo!- What the first pole can't finish, the second certainly will.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Oh!
0:40:13 > 0:40:18Just John and Aaron left, then, and on next door podiums, too.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23John and Aaron are both airborne - they both want to win...
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- Aagh!- But the phlebotomist folds. - Whoops-a-daisy!
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Look how high that is, it's a miracle John made it over.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35But he did, and can rightfully claim to be last man hanging.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- Ha-ha! - Well done, John, give that man a...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44There's nothing to give him, is there? No, no prize.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Towel - give him a towel.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52What do you get if you take Winter Wonderland swap all the Ws for Bs?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- Binter Bonderland. > - Do you?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59OK. Then swap the first B back to a W.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Winter Bonderland? >
0:41:02 > 0:41:07Then change the second N to an L, the D to a UN
0:41:07 > 0:41:10and just lose the O entirely, and what have you got?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Ah-ha! It's Winter Blunderland!
0:41:14 > 0:41:17There was probably an easier way of doing that.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29Winter Blunderland begins with a sickening spin in the Winter Whizzy,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32then a tricky totter across lots of wobbly bits,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36whilst dodging snowballs from the Hansel and Gretel.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38The last man or woman across is out of the competition.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42The last four do it all again, last one across is eliminated,
0:41:42 > 0:41:46leaving the three finalists to take on the Wipeout Zone.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51They blunder here, they blunder there, those dizzy contestants blunder everywhere.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54It's Winder Blunderland. Are you all ready?!
0:41:54 > 0:41:58CLOCK TICKS
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yes! CLOCK STRIKES
0:42:00 > 0:42:02That was speedy(!)
0:42:05 > 0:42:07So, while they get a good spin cycle,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10let's remind ourselves of the five Blunderers.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15First, its Beat Man John, king of The Qualifier
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and king of Ski Lift.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Then there's Howling Mark, who has not stopped howling.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23HE HOWLS
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Next, Speedy Pants Aaron.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Thank goodness he put some clothes on.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Good egg Amy. Let's hope her luck doesn't run out.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And finally, Sheba's better half, Simon.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39He's now doing it for the both of them.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44THEY GROAN
0:42:44 > 0:42:48And so the whirling stops, though possibly not in their heads.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Or stomachs.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Now, Aaron's off. To the left.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- Aaron nearly knocked the cameraman down.- He's first to the Frosty Flipper, though.
0:42:58 > 0:43:04Mark's joined him. And stolen the lead. Crankshaft is next. Oh, Mark!
0:43:04 > 0:43:06He took that too quickly. Yep.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Back at the start now, it's Amy. Speedy Pants is now ahead.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Yes! Next stop, the R-terror-tator.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20Well, not so much a stop as a spinning thing with bits on. Here we go.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Ooh! And he's on to the Iceberg.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26One more jump now and Aaron is safely through to the second heat.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Here we go. Yes! That was very well done indeed.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30CHEERING
0:43:30 > 0:43:34Save that energy, you're going to need it.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Amy on the R-terror-tator now. Mark closing the gap.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41Now they're both on. There's traffic.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Mark, what a move!
0:43:42 > 0:43:43Leapfrogged Amy.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48Amy's on as well. Mark's through simultaneously.
0:43:49 > 0:43:53OK, Amy, now focus. Here comes her chance.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57And she's through. That means either Simon or John is about to get axed.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00Simon is way back on the Crankshaft.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02But John is headed for the Iceberg, and he's... no!
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Oh-ho-ho!
0:44:04 > 0:44:08That Iceberg is... Well, it's as slippery as ice.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10And that's really bad news for John.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14Because here comes Simon to steal the final spot in the next heat.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15Oh, no!
0:44:15 > 0:44:19He's gone in as well. They're both... Well, they're both in the water there.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21But because Simon fell on the crankshaft,
0:44:21 > 0:44:24he has to swim back to the start of that obstacle.
0:44:24 > 0:44:30Meanwhile, John is a ladder ahead. Can he keep his lead? This is tense!
0:44:30 > 0:44:34- SHE LAUGHS - These snowballs are just the right weight to be annoying.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36John takes on the R-terror-tator again.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40Just about stays on this time. Can he seal the deal?
0:44:40 > 0:44:44Yes. Beat Man John is through, which means Sheba's better half, Simon,
0:44:44 > 0:44:45can now join his wife.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51What conclusion can you draw from Winter Blunderland?
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- It stopped you from going all the way.- It's not the sort of thing an old man should really
0:44:55 > 0:44:57be attempting, to be honest with you.
0:44:57 > 0:45:02I should be sitting by the river bank with a glass of wine,
0:45:02 > 0:45:04watching the river flow. This is insane.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Yeah, it is. Heat two.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11- Ah, love this song. - # Madness, madness, they call it madness... #
0:45:11 > 0:45:12Makes me want to dance.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17# Madness, madness, they call it madness.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Oh, no, that doesn't.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22A bit of sick came up.
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Oh, a little reverse spin there for good measure.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28And Amy is first out. It was a slow start for her last time.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32It looks like she's picked up the pace this time.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34But here's Howling Mark. Watch out!
0:45:34 > 0:45:35Eager beaver.
0:45:35 > 0:45:39Throwing himself head first into this heat.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42Aaron and Amy.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44Ooh! Just Aaron now.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Here comes John again. Oh!
0:45:49 > 0:45:54Aaron on the Crank Shaft. Looks like he's taken a knock.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58So does Mark, who's back at the start.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03But he's quickly across the Frosty Flipper.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Looks like everybody's picking up the pace now.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Everybody wanting those places. Oh...
0:46:10 > 0:46:13- No!- Mark's in trouble.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15That's an amazing recovery!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17But Aaron's onto the Iceberg
0:46:17 > 0:46:20and one jump away from bagging a spot in today's Wipeout Zone.
0:46:20 > 0:46:21Will he make it?
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Ohhh!
0:46:26 > 0:46:29But John's having a go now, and he's in. But Aaron's done it!
0:46:29 > 0:46:31CHEERING
0:46:31 > 0:46:35He is through. What else happened there? Stuff. It was busy.
0:46:35 > 0:46:39As Aaron leapt, Mark also took a tumble on the Iceberg.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41Walking wounded.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43But all of that leaves the path clear for Amy.
0:46:43 > 0:46:49Her lucky egg has got her through. She is in the Wipeout Zone.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Just glides across the finish line there.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54One spot left then.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Will it be Beat Man John's or will it be Howling Mark's?
0:47:00 > 0:47:04Oh! Even John admires that throw. It was good, but he's powering through.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08And he's done it. John is in the Wipeout Zone.
0:47:08 > 0:47:09And that's bad news for Mark.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12He and his 'tache are out of Winter Wipeout.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16I thought you had strong drumming arms!
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- What happened to those strong arms? - Oh, clumsy.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Power was not in the 'tache after all.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Er, I wouldn't want to answer that one.
0:47:25 > 0:47:30That's that then. The finalists have been selected by fate.
0:47:30 > 0:47:35Fate taking the form of a lot of snow, and cold water.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Today's show alone has produced so many heroes.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42So many men and women have risen to the extreme challenges
0:47:42 > 0:47:46thrown at them, and succeeded in the face of extraordinary odds.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49It's hard to remember just how many heroes, in fact.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53- Three, same as always. - That is a pretty big number.
0:47:53 > 0:47:56So let's now hear from today's heroes,
0:47:56 > 0:47:58each and every three of them.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04Getting to the Wipeout Zone, my friends at home will love it.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07They'll see me getting smashed on bits of this course.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10They'll be rubbing their hands with glee.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13I'm a fun-loving surfer dude policeman. Beep!
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Living on a boat, does that help? A little bit.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17I like windsurfing, that's helped.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21The lucky egg's been very good. I'm glad it's here with me in Argentina.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24I think this thing's been my absolute blessing.
0:48:24 > 0:48:25Amy and her lucky egg, eh?
0:48:25 > 0:48:29This is going to see me win the Winter Wipeout final!
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I'm not going to crack her lucky egg. Dirty tactics are left at home.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36The big red balls, what can I say? I made it. Chuffed to bits about that.
0:48:36 > 0:48:39Winter Wipeout throws you around, twists you round
0:48:39 > 0:48:42and spits you out the other side. It's amazing.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45I hated the Ski Lift. It's so scary!
0:48:45 > 0:48:48The Ski Lift was my round. Last man standing.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52- I was one chuffed little bunny. - John is fit as a fiddle.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56- He's like a springbok.- John was impressive in the first two rounds,
0:48:56 > 0:48:58then struggled on Winter Blunderland.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00So maybe he's getting tired.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03Amy's done really well. She's surprised me.
0:49:03 > 0:49:06- Good on her for getting here. - I am representing the girls.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08I think I'm tough enough to beat the boys.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Aaron, he's been consistent throughout.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Younger than me, but I'm not scared of Aaron.
0:49:13 > 0:49:17If I win tonight, I will be absolutely over the moon.
0:49:17 > 0:49:19I am the fastest policeman, so I've got a chance.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23It's a bit of bragging rights, to say, I won that, I did that.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25I've not really won anything big in the past.
0:49:25 > 0:49:29So this is definitely the biggest thing I've won... I WOULD have won.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31That was a bit confident!
0:49:44 > 0:49:48It's the Wipeout Zone, and it's a fairytale here tonight.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51Snow White and the three finalists.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53John, he's happy.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Aaron, he's bashful, and Amy, well, she's grumpy,
0:49:56 > 0:49:59because she is the first to go.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Me and my lucky egg are going to beat those boys!
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Well, hold on, Amy, you're about to be flung from the Flingamajig.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Oh, we have take off! And a landing.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15- Great nose-holding technique too, if you watch. Good effort. - SHE SCREAMS
0:50:15 > 0:50:19Right, the clock has started. Yes. Swim.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Oh, I do hope her lucky egg is not in her pocket,
0:50:22 > 0:50:25because it would probably be squashed by now.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29Amy is onto her first quest, climbing the North Pole. Here we go.
0:50:30 > 0:50:35- Oh, slipped, slipped. - Ooh! Not such a good start.
0:50:35 > 0:50:40She's back on, taking the safe crawling approach. And that worked.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Next, the Icy Stairs. There is no banister here,
0:50:43 > 0:50:46just got to hold on for dear life as Amy's already experiencing.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Yes, onto the second.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53- The stairs really going for it. - Be careful.
0:50:53 > 0:50:57She's setting a time to beat, so her form now could be crucial.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00- Yes, she's onto the third set and holding on.- Come on, Amy!
0:51:00 > 0:51:04Nearly at the top. Then she'll be halfway there.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Yes! She's made it halfway.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11It's downhill from here.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Oh! Careful, no, no, no!
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Got to take that next step. It is terrifying, come on, Amy!
0:51:20 > 0:51:22- Oh no! Ohh!- No!- Oh...
0:51:22 > 0:51:27Oh, a slip plus a trip equals a pretty big dip.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Amy back on and ready from the Ice Picks. Here she goes.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Oh no, no, careful!
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Oooh, ooh!
0:51:35 > 0:51:38Good recovery, and thank goodness for that.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41- Tackles the Fright-cicles and heads for the middle.- Yes!
0:51:41 > 0:51:43Can she make it off the other side now?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Here she goes, she braves it...
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- Oh no!- No, no, no!
0:51:51 > 0:51:56And it's her third fall which has cost her some time.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Another ladder climb.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02And a run down to the next obstacle, which is the Snowflakes.
0:52:02 > 0:52:07Used to be impossible, but now, technically possible, apparently.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13- Oh no, no, they still look pretty impossible to me.- Oh!
0:52:13 > 0:52:16It's the final climb for Amy. It has been immense,
0:52:16 > 0:52:19but it could still be the fastest time today, we don't yet know.
0:52:21 > 0:52:234 minutes, 34 seconds.
0:52:23 > 0:52:28- That is the time to beat. - What a cracking job that was.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31- It's wet!- It certainly was. You had a few tumbles.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34I got very winded on the catapult.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36Well, you put in another spectacular performance,
0:52:36 > 0:52:40- in a time of 4 minutes and 34 seconds.- Thanks.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44- That's brilliant. Yours is the time to beat, Amy.- It is, it is.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47- Aaron's next ago, let's watch. - Over to Aaron.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52- There's no place like home but bring it on!- No, it's not home.
0:52:52 > 0:52:58There's no place like flailing around in the air, that's the thing. Look. Ooh!
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Good landing, though! Stylish.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06- Whoa!- Wow!
0:53:06 > 0:53:10So, Aaron's battle begins. Making his way to the North Pole.
0:53:10 > 0:53:124 min 34 the time to beat.
0:53:12 > 0:53:16I'd describe that as a time that is actually beatable, let's see.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21No falls there. Now for the Icy Stairs.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Come on, Aaron!
0:53:23 > 0:53:24He's onto the first.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29Securing his footing.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33Just about. Now for the second...
0:53:33 > 0:53:37Oh, he's off! That is an early fall for the phlebotomist.
0:53:37 > 0:53:41Because he didn't reach the middle stair it's back to the beginning.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45and that target of 4 min 34 is looking a little less beatable all of a sudden.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Second attempt on the Icy Stairs. He's on.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Makes it to the second. Yes.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57- And the third.- That's it, Aaron!
0:53:58 > 0:54:01The left, hold onto the left. Hold on to the left!
0:54:01 > 0:54:03And he's got to the middle, that's important,
0:54:03 > 0:54:08cos if he falls this time he won't have to swim back to the start.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12Now just the descent. Looks like he's starting to speed up now.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14CHEERING
0:54:17 > 0:54:20And he's cleared it. Ice Picks now. Whoa!
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Nearly gets picked off by a pick, but grabs on.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Oh my goodness!
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Onto the Fright-cicles now, straight to the middle.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Really picking up the pace now.
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Timing his launch, he's across.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36Aaron's time looking really good.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43Oh, he's not bad on the Snowflakes either. This is amazing!
0:54:43 > 0:54:47Can he be only the second person to ever do them? Yes, he can!
0:54:47 > 0:54:502 minutes and 27 seconds is a phenomenally quick time
0:54:50 > 0:54:52for Speedy Pants Aaron.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54And he's pleased with it.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56A bit of a cool customer out there, weren't you?
0:54:56 > 0:55:01Oh, that was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- Listen, there was blood.- Oh!
0:55:04 > 0:55:06And sweat.
0:55:06 > 0:55:10- But no tears, Aaron, because you were faster than Amy!- Yes!
0:55:10 > 0:55:13- Hard luck, my darling, go and join the others.- Well done.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15Well done.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18Oh, Aaron, you know what this means.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- 50/50!- Let's watch John.
0:55:22 > 0:55:27So far so good. Now watch me blue light the Wipeout Zone.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31And there it is.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38Wow! Superb dive, 10 out of 10 for execution. That looked really good!
0:55:41 > 0:55:43- Whoa! - Right, swimming to the North Pole
0:55:43 > 0:55:46with an exceptionally fast time in his sights.
0:55:46 > 0:55:47He's got a lot to do.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Beat Man John has got to give it some welly on the Icy Stairs
0:55:50 > 0:55:52to beat Speedy Pants Aaron.
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Welly is just what he is giving it.
0:55:58 > 0:55:59Ooh!
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Onto the second stair.
0:56:05 > 0:56:09We know he has a record of always catching the guy he's chasing.
0:56:09 > 0:56:13Having never lost a chase with a robber, he looks determined
0:56:13 > 0:56:16to make sure he's on the winning side tonight.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19He's made it to the top of the Icy Stairs.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24Come on, John!
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Fine sportsmanlike cheering from Speedy Pants Aaron there.
0:56:27 > 0:56:32And it's helping. John is doing superbly. One last jump.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Yes!
0:56:35 > 0:56:38Looks like he's going to make this.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44Yep, he's made it across with no faults.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46This is where Aaron was super fast.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Can John match his Ice Pick accomplishments?
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Oh, no, no!
0:56:50 > 0:56:52He's fallen.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55Just as things were starting to look really rosy for John,
0:56:55 > 0:56:57he fell at the third pick.
0:56:57 > 0:57:01He's going to have to do some pretty fast beep test-type running
0:57:01 > 0:57:02to beat Aaron.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04- And he's over.- There he goes.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06Speedy boy, speedy copper.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Waiting for his perfect moment.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11It's in the timing. Here we go.
0:57:11 > 0:57:14And he's cleared it again.
0:57:14 > 0:57:17Now for the technically possible impossible Snowflakes.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20The times are so close, this is going to have to be perfect.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24And it is looking pretty perfect.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Oh, this is an incredible run!
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Oh my goodness. Come on, John! Whoa!
0:57:31 > 0:57:35With just four seconds to spare, John snatches the crown!
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Yes! Over to Amanda.
0:57:39 > 0:57:43- What fun!- You've been having fun here all day, haven't you? - It's been a great day.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46- Still smiling. - Guys, there was four seconds
0:57:46 > 0:57:49between the two of you here tonight.
0:57:50 > 0:57:51John, you were always known
0:57:51 > 0:57:55as the copper who catches the guy he's chasing.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57You were chasing Aaron tonight.
0:57:59 > 0:58:03- And you caught him, you are the Winter Wipeout champion!- Yes!
0:58:03 > 0:58:05Congratulations.
0:58:05 > 0:58:06So, John Woodfield,
0:58:06 > 0:58:10the 40-year-old police officer from Southampton is today's champion
0:58:10 > 0:58:15and takes home £10,000, a trophy, and maybe just a touch of frostbite.
0:58:15 > 0:58:19John will be returning in a few weeks for Winter Wipeout, the final.
0:58:19 > 0:58:21That's it for this show,
0:58:21 > 0:58:23but don't forget to switch over now to BBC Eight
0:58:23 > 0:58:27for the spin-off sister show, Winter Wipeout: Uncut And Unsafe,
0:58:27 > 0:58:29to see all the naughty bits and cheeky words
0:58:29 > 0:58:32that were too extreme for teatime viewing.
0:58:32 > 0:58:36Plus an interview with Amanda Byron's recently sacked dog walker, I imagine.
0:58:36 > 0:58:40So, from Amanda and me, until next time, it's goodbye.
