0:00:06 > 0:00:09- Who's the Cherry Man? - I think you're the Cherry Man.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I'm the Ice Cream Man!
0:00:11 > 0:00:15But tonight on Winter Wipeout, everything changes.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Who's the Cherry Man?
0:00:17 > 0:00:21- I'm thinking John's the Cherry Man. - The Ice Cream Man is back!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25The greatest Winter Wipeout contestants in history are back,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29and this time, for the second time, it's serious.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32But there can be only one series champion.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Let the wintry final begin!
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Welcome to what I'm already calling the sporting event of the decade.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Feel free to join in with that. It's the inaugural Winter Wipeout final.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50I've got my Des Lynam 'tache, my vintage jumper,
0:00:50 > 0:00:55and my 1980s videprinter bringing you all the results as they happen.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Obviously nothing's actually happened yet.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Today's schedule looks like this.
0:01:00 > 0:01:0412:15, live Winter Wipeout qualifying from Buenos Aires.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08At 12:45, all the latest ski-lifting from Buenos Aires.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12At 2:30, all your Winter Blunderland action from Buenos Aires.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15There may be a delay but stick with us.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18At 4:30 we'll go to Aintree for Final Score,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20that's the Wipeout Zone.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21After that, a special treat,
0:01:21 > 0:01:26a brand new series of Strictly Little & Large.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29That really is a smashing line-up.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Time to go to chief Winter Wipeout reporter Amanda Byram
0:01:32 > 0:01:35using our state-of-the-art satellite link-up.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Amanda, what's the weather like by the course?
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Pretty chilly, I expect.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Probably the satellite delay there.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45While we wait for that to be fixed,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48news just in from the Crucible, there's been a pitch invasion.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I'm not sure how that works.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I'm hearing we can now go over to Amanda.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Some come to conquer. Some come to entertain.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Some come to do both with a wardrobe that embarrasses the missus.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- How you doing, Ross? - Really well, thank you.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Didn't want to mention the moustache but it's not been that long since I've seen you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- What's with the facial hair? - It's the champion show.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16This is my serious look.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The moustache is there, psyching the competition out.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Ross, tell me about your last experience here.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You were fastest on the qualifier
0:02:24 > 0:02:28yet victory in the Wipeout Zone eluded you. What happened?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Little arms.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Last time round, Ross struggled on the Wipeout Zone,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but he didn't give up.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Steely nerve and determination. How brave is Ross?
0:02:40 > 0:02:449:13, that is a series record. For the slowest run.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You and your facial furniture get out there and do it. Good luck.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Thank you very much.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I will now attempt the Winter Wipeout qualifier
0:02:54 > 0:02:56without the aid of a safety net,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59but this time with a magnificent moustache to cushion the blow.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He's not all right in the head, is he?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05The moustache won't help, but talking of cushioning,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Ross is about to face the most dangerous cushion
0:03:08 > 0:03:12the world has ever seen, because the Winter Blob is back!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16What more fitting way is there to begin a sporting final
0:03:16 > 0:03:20than to propel a human skyward using a barrel filled with wine?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Yes!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35That is glorious.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Ross must now make his way to the next obstacle pretty quickly,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50as there are 18 other finalists in the queue to beat his time.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Champions or no champions,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Granny's House has been a real hit this series.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00So, here goes Ross, protective 'tache and all.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Ooh!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Actually, Granny's got a moustache, but it's bigger than Ross's.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Still has more of Granny's House to go. Come on.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I think just caught by Tevez the dog, missed the door,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20and a beautiful dive.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Ross and his 'tache must take on the Big Red Balls.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Think there might be some 'tache wax on that second ball.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Just the Log Jam with added toast rack for Ross.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Looking pretty quick as well.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Ooh!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53This is slowing him down somewhat.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56As it is the final, the severity level on each obstacle
0:04:56 > 0:05:00has been ramped up to "destroy" setting, as Ross has just found out.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Onto the second log, now he has to climb over that bar,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07under it won't do.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Come on, the powers of the 'tache!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18He's got the finish podium all over his 'tache.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Nevertheless, Ross climbs to the finish in 2:48,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26but with some stiff competition,
0:05:26 > 0:05:32will that be enough to earn him a place in the next round?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- How's that moustache holding up? - It's still there.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Do you think it made you more aerodynamic?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It made me more dynamic.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Second to face the final qualifier today is good egg Amy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Last time, Amy was inspired by her lucky egg to third
0:05:49 > 0:05:51place in the Wipeout Zone.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I wonder if she's got any new tactics for us this time?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00I'm not sure the pull-down woolly hat tactic is a goer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06No! Why would she do that?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Apparently that was Amy's stunt egg. What crazy mind games are these?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It looks like Amanda's been entrusted with the real lucky egg.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Come on, Amy, get cracking.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oh, yes! Nose hold and away she goes. Beautiful.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31That lucky egg seems to be helping
0:06:31 > 0:06:34because Amy's made it to the Log Jam already.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Power's in the egg!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40On the second, she's going over the bar, under the bar.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Do it for your egg, Amy. - Come on, Amy!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Oh, yes! What a good egg.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53Amy finishes in 2:27. Amanda's so happy she could crush an egg.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56No, she mustn't. Definitely don't.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02She can't. Get comfortable, this could take some time.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Ha-ha!- Oh, there you go. Got there in the end.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I'm in the mood now for a champion,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13and here's the first champion of the day.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16This high-speed Dorset farmer ploughed a winning furrow
0:07:16 > 0:07:19to win the trophy and £10,000.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23What did your friends & family say?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26My best friend came up to me and said, "How did you win Wipeout?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29"You can't even walk up the stairs without falling down."
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- I hope you don't come a cropper today.- I'll do my best.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Now THAT is a proper job!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Ooh arr!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43So the Dorset champion's at Granny's House for the second time.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Ooh, careful!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Yes, no! In the slurry.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54First champion ball run of the day, here we go.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Yes, good!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Bad.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Tristan quickly to the Log Jam, this is looking good now.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- No, ooh!- Hang on tight, Tristan!
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Yes, onto the second log. He messed up here last time, so come on!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22There's no dignity in this, is there?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Here we go. No, no! History repeating.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Sinister log operator 1, Tristan 0.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36But Jet Tractor Tristan climbs to the finish podium
0:08:36 > 0:08:39in the fastest time so far.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Who's pushing the button? He needs a slap.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Now for our runner-up.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48This is Marilyn Monroe fan and boxer Katri Likes It Hot.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Just getting myself in the zone for a wintry chatette
0:08:54 > 0:08:57with my favourite boxing make-up artist, Katri.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- How you doing?- Hello, hello.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Let me just say, hair immaculate, make-up immaculate,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06steely determination to win here today?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- You tell me.- Absolutely.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Today I'm going to add some speed into the game.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- That's my tactic. Aaah! - Rogue bee, nice!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23This is it. Woohoo!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Floating like a butterfly!
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Not exactly, but there's that rogue bee! It's overtaken her!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Katri's from Finland and hates cold water,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and she's come back for a second time.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Oh, she's stayed on!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43No, she hasn't.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47At least that bee can't get Katri underwater while she finds her head.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Second go now.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, yes. Ouch!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54This is horrific.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Oh!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Onto the balls now.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06One, two, three, hang on!
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Oh, no!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Oh, such a shame she didn't finish that!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13# I'm just a girl...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15On to the Toast Rack.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Ding ding ding.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Despite getting wet on every obstacle,
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Katri tops the leaderboard with a magnificent:
0:10:27 > 0:10:29This is Rob Boy and Olly Pudding,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31both boxers, both champions
0:10:31 > 0:10:33and both look so young,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37they'd probably will spend their prize money on sweeties or comics.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39He may look like a boy, but he's really a man.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yeah, weird.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Er, OK.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45What?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Here goes Rob Boy. Oh, yes, a flip.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50There was nothing boyish about that, Rob Boy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Well, with Rob past the Blob,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05it's time for Granny's House.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09This champion is being outboxed by a door.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Knockout.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Here's Olly.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Same place. These two do have a lot in common.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Right, here's Rob.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Double knockout.- Rob!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32There's Olly, striding to the big red balls.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34No, not good.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- And Rob, taking a more direct approach.- Come on, Rob.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39He's like Peter Pan.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Third ball...- Oh, no!
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Last time round, Rob did a spectacular roll on the Log Jam.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Followed by an unspectacular slide off the finish podium.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03Can Rob manage to make it on to the podium this time and stay there?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Come on, Rob, you can do it. - Nearly there. Nearly...
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Yea... - No. No, he can't.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Here's Olly, and their times are looking pretty close at the moment.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Come on, Olly. Yes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And a champion leap from Olly Pudding,
0:12:19 > 0:12:212:16 is the time.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25But what's this? No way. It's a dead heat.
0:12:25 > 0:12:262:16 too.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30It's a champion draw. If there is such a thing. Well, there is now.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32There it is, look.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40I wanted to go "Woo-hoo-hoo!" But it turned into an "Aaaghh!"
0:12:40 > 0:12:41It wasn't nice.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43So Katri Likes It Hot
0:12:43 > 0:12:46has scorched into first place on this first Snowboard,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48with those champions Olly and Rob in joint second.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Jet-Tractor Tristan's in fourth.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Good Egg Amy is fifth and currently in sixth is New Tache Ross.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Now, I have had a lot of enquiries about my jumper.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Like this letter, which caught my eye.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Mostly because of the red ink and capital letters.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04It says, "Dear, Richard.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08"Please, please, please, please, please, please can you tell me
0:13:08 > 0:13:10"which shop you got your jumper from?"
0:13:10 > 0:13:13That's nice. "So I know where to avoid..."
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I should probably have read that silently to myself
0:13:16 > 0:13:18before I read it out loud.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Never mind. So whilst this final is all about champions,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25these next three competitors all came second in their Wipeout Zones.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Oh, hang on. This is a wind-up. No-one's actually called Gok Wan.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36It's Speedy Pants Aaron. Catchphrase King John.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- And Soft-Scoop Stu. - The ice-cream man is back.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44But which of these three almost-champions will be the fastest?
0:13:44 > 0:13:50- Stuart, what happened the last time you were here?- I was ballistic.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55No. THAT'S ballistic!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Here's Soft-Scoop Stu.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Ooh, hard wooden door.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And Speedy Pants Aaron.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Not speedy enough.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And Catchphrase King John.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Ooh. Ow. Not to worry, John loves to tell jokes. Apparently.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16So here come the funnies.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Still smiling, I see, John.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Trying to, yes. CANNED LAUGHTER
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Did you enjoy your experience last time?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Last time, I had a fantastic time.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I didn't really want to come back, I was forced onto the plane.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30CANNED LAUGHTER
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Tell me about your last experience. - I was in a library
0:14:33 > 0:14:36and I started screaming and everybody said "Shh",
0:14:36 > 0:14:40and on the flight here, I started screaming and everybody joined in.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- What do your family think about you being a finalist? - They don't know I'm here.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I told them I was in Scotland, studying rocks. CANNED LAUGHTER
0:14:47 > 0:14:50That's almost so funny it actually stopped being funny.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Now, you see, that was funnier. It was.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Last time, Aaron only missed out on championship glory
0:14:58 > 0:15:01by the narrowest of margins.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Four seconds, which is far too close.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It was an expensive four seconds.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09If you do it here today, Aaron,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- would you do something special with the money?- Yes.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'd use it very wisely
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and I think my girlfriend might be in for a bit of a treat.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- You're going to take her for a burger?- No.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26So, Speedy Pants Aaron takes on the Big Balls for a second time.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Here we go, one, two, three... Hang on.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Come on, come on...
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Oh, no. No!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Aaron has been slowed a bit by that ball fall.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39One last jump to the finish podium.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Oh, no.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48His girlfriend might not be getting that burger after all.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51But here is Catchphrase King John.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53And he has made it in a sOllyd 2:21.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Soft-Scoop Stu is the runner-up of these runners-up. 2:45.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04And finally, Speedy Pants Aaron finishes in 3:18.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Now, remember Campuccino Mikey,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11the dancing coffee-shop manager from Birmingham?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Oh, who left that latte glass there?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Now, he boogied his way into second place in the Wipeout Zone.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Looks like he's been limbering up for revenge.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20# You make me feel
0:16:20 > 0:16:23# Mighty real
0:16:23 > 0:16:27# Well, you got me going like I knew you would
0:16:27 > 0:16:30# And the music's in me and I feel real hot...
0:16:30 > 0:16:33VOICE: Get on with it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34MUSIC STOPS
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Get on with it.- Yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Oh, yes, that's more like it!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I love this thing. Look.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Joining Mikey on the Travelator now.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Last time, Mikey walked straight off the second ball,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57but can he give a more impressive performance this time?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Gingerly approaches. Oh, yes, this is good.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Yes. Yea... Hang on! Unbelievable!
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Did you see that?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09He was so quick, I almost missed it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11What beautiful choreography
0:17:11 > 0:17:14and the only Ball Crossing in this final so far.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Oh, it's... I don't know, is it inspiration?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's something? It's amazing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Look, he just ran.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So, can he complete the set and make it over to the finish?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Come on, Mikey, come on.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Oh, he's crushed his macchiatos.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Despite that, Mikey tops the leaderboard
0:17:36 > 0:17:40with an outstanding 2:07.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- I did the balls!- Yes, you did.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49If I don't get through the qualifier, I've done the balls.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And if I do go on and qualify, the other one's best watch out,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55cos I'm not coming second again. No chance.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Aha, a fanfare.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Because this is the man who robbed Campuccino Mikey of that trophy.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Dan!- It's Dan,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08holder of the record for fastest time on the Winter Wipeout Zone.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Hard luck, Mikey. Aw.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13There is a feeling of magic in the air right now.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Not only am I joined by my favourite magician,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18but also miraculous Wipeout winner, Dan from Herefordshire.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- How does it feel to be back? - It feels amazing.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- I can't wait, I'm so...- Dan's got no time for interviews. He's off.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Now that is magic.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Now you see him...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33now you don't.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35# Take me
0:18:35 > 0:18:36# Baby, take me
0:18:36 > 0:18:38# High up where...
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Seems like he's got hours in the air
0:18:40 > 0:18:44to read a book and think about stuff and then splash down.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Last time Dan took on Granny's House,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48he got a door right in the Magic Circle.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55So, can he use his magic powers to defeat Granny this time?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57# Could it be magic now?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Ooh. No. No, he can't.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Ala-Ka-Dan's arch nemesis Mikey just crossed the balls,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05so surely Dan can do it too?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Oh, no.- No!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It looked promising, it was a great start
0:19:14 > 0:19:16but it sort of ran out of steam.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21So, 2:07 is the target if Dan is going to beat Mikey.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22And he is looking quick.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Yeah, the old leg trick.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Now you see it...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and now you don't. Ow.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Dan, no!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49But what's this? Dan has beaten Mikey by eight seconds.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Ta-da!
0:19:52 > 0:19:54So now he tops the board.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Dan, Dan, the magic man.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Could this be magic, oh?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Oh?- Oh.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Oh?- Hopefully.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Oh?- Oh.- Oh?- Phew.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Now, remember New School Cool Ben?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13The two things you need to know about him are:
0:20:13 > 0:20:15one, he was runner-up to Rob Boy.
0:20:15 > 0:20:21And two, he doesn't like getting his hair wet. That's unfortunate.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22HOOTER
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Vertical. Good. Yes.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33OK, here goes Ben to the balls.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36All right, keep it cool. Look at that. Here he goes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I've got a good feeling about this.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Ben, hold on. That's it, that's it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Second ball, third, fourth. Come on. No...
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Oh, no!- Oh, Ben!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Ben so nearly became today's second Ball Crosser.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59That final leap wasn't quite far enough. Just the Log Jam to go.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02On to the Toast Tack. Getting a bit of a jiggling there.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Ooh, yes, that was cool.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08# He's going to blow your mind
0:21:08 > 0:21:11# Superman
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Wow. And that is the fastest time of the day so far.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18There he is, New School Cool Ben tops the Snowboard.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Rob Boy and Olly Pudding in joint fifth.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Jet-Tractor Tristan down in eighth.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And Speedy Pants Aaron in 12th place.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Now for another returning champion. It's Short Shorts Dan.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Last time, Dan crossed all four Big Balls on his way to winning the 10,000.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You are the Winter Wipeout Champion!
0:21:41 > 0:21:45It's time to see how this entertainments manager from Warrington fares this time.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47To be a Winter Wipeout winner,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49you have to be athletic, fearless and daring.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53And in Dan's case, an entertainer with a big, massive pair of...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Er, trousers. No, that's just silly.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Ta-da! Dan, welcome back.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Last time, you had a big, massive pair of...
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Alsatians? Why would it be Alsatians?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Yes, I did. Everyone thought I was a weed, but I proved them all wrong.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You certainly did, you and your big, massive pair of...
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Spectacles. No.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Jazz hands. Ta-da!
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Jazz hands, of course. Yeah, I knew that. OK.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Here we go. There they are in action. Look at that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28SERENE PIANO MUSIC
0:22:55 > 0:23:01Short shorts and jazz hands still intact, that's good news.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Oh. That's not good news, that bit there. No.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Right, here he goes again. - Finger clicks.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16DOG BARKS
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Oh, dear.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21What's happened to his jazz hands?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Yeah, I think they're still on that door, stuck to it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Dan has already crossed the balls this series,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34so he couldn't do it twice. I mean, you just do it once.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Yeah, yeah, that's it.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39He's on the second ball. Maybe he could do it again.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Yes! - What is going on today?
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Dan has joined that even more exclusive group than the Ball Crossers Club.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51He's joined the Twice Ball Crossers Club Club, thing, Club.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Just the brutal Log Jam to go. Got a good feeling about this as well.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Bit of a rattling on the Toast Rack,
0:24:00 > 0:24:02but he's going to get back to his feet
0:24:02 > 0:24:03any second now.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Over the toast. Oh, dear.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- And Dan finishes in 2:02. - Jazz hands!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Just one second behind Snowboard topper Ben.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18But crossing the Big Balls twice in a series is an achievement enough for any man.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24From one champion to another. Beep Man John,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26who's a pOllyceman and an expert at beep tests.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- Beep.- beep.- Beep.- Beep.- Beep. - Beep.- Beep.- Beep.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- What?- See?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Oh, John.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38John delivered an arresting performance last time
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and beat Speedy Pants Aaron and Good Egg Amy to take home the title.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You are the Winter Wipeout Champion!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Today, John is pitted against CID officer
0:24:48 > 0:24:50and runner-up Suspicious Helen.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52This speedy cop is back on the case
0:24:52 > 0:24:56and I won't be happy with second place.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Here we go. And they're off. Yes. It's the Flying Squad!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Grudge match time, Granny versus John.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Yeah. Granny wins.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Suspicious Helen dodges the pie and the door. This is good.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- This is very goo... Oh, no.- No!
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Coppers to the balls. John crossed them last time.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Helen's on to ball two. And so's John.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Helen to ball three.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33And so's John. This is getting weird.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Helen's on four. This is incredible.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40John is as well. I cannot believe my eyes.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Look, Suspicious Helen becomes today's third Ball Crosser.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53That is astonish... No way. Beep Man John becomes the fourth.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Utterly incredible stuff. This truly is a champions' show.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02John getting roughed up by the Toast Rack, but he's hanging on.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07What just happened?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12OK, Helen's turn. She's landed butter side up.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19How is she staying on this thing now? She's getting a battering.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I'm surprised she hung on as long as she did.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24This truly is neck and neck
0:26:24 > 0:26:27and both coppers reach the finish podium in 2:07.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31This is astonishing. The final show keeps getting better and better.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I have never seen the videprinter looking like that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Four Ball Crossers, it's just bonkers. OK, back to the action.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Purple skirt, man's shirt, yep, it's another John.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Gibberish John, the talkative ice-sculptor who came third in his Wipeout Zone.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52He's going to be chatty, I just know.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I've come in white to blend into the background. Nice and white.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I've noticed that.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00LAUGHS
0:27:00 > 0:27:02It wasn't that funny, John.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Right, OK.
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Granny won't like John's flamboyant hairstyle, I'm telling you now.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14But he's past the front door. Great leap.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Backdoor's got him. - Oh, John!
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Four Ball Crossers so far today, surely there won't be a fifth?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Will there? Hang on.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33This is just... No way. It's happening again, isn't it?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Five Ball Crossers!- Yes! - Awesome job from Gibberish John.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Whoa.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Log Jam on destroy setting again.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51John's still on, though. No, no, he's not. He's off.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55This is a very quick run, all the same.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Gibberish John makes it to the finish in 2:06.- Wipeout!
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- Remember this guy? It's John. - Who's the champion?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- Not you, John, you were runner-up. - Who's the Cherry Man?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Yeah, that's right, John is the Cherry Man.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11John, from Sunbury-on-Thames, how are you?
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I am the Cherry Man, thank you, Amanda.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18I hope you're going to be the cherry on the top of the chorus, John.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I'm back and I'm ready to win this. Who's the Cherry Man?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I think you're the Cherry Man.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26The Cherry Man's back to take more flak.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Who's the Cherry Man? Aaggh!
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I'm thinking John's the Cherry Man.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Who's the Cherry Man? Aaggh!
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Ah, a late result straight from Amanda. John is the Cherry Man.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45Thanks, Amanda.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48HOOTER
0:28:52 > 0:28:58That is some cherry juicing right there...John. Another John.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02What's with all the Johns? Can we not have as many Johns next time?
0:29:02 > 0:29:05There may be a lot of Johns today, but only one Cherry Man.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Oh, yeah. Here we go.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11And he's straight on to ball two.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Hang on a minute, this is getting silly.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16You don't think...
0:29:16 > 0:29:19He's on the final ball. He's not going to...?
0:29:19 > 0:29:20He has!
0:29:20 > 0:29:26John the Cherry Man becomes the sixth Ball Crosser of the day.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29This competition is just astounding.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32# Sherry, can you come out tonight?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35# Come, come Come out tonight... #
0:29:35 > 0:29:36And he's made it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- Yeah!- Yes, yes, with two minutes 14,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45John the Cherry Man has squeezed himself into the top 12.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Oh, oh.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Wow. This is all too much for me.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Aaah. Oh.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Right, just two more left in this qualifier
0:29:56 > 0:29:58and they've got history with each other.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Hold onto your facial hair. This is the rematch of the century.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07First, it's returning champion, Baby-face Baz the tennis coach.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- Last time he was here.- Whoa.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Baz just beat Wheelie Dan the dustbin man to claim the crown.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Baz, you are the champion!
0:30:23 > 0:30:29Let's rewind for a second. The gap between you and Baz, what was it?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Five seconds between us.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33It's, you know, a slap in the face but he deserved it,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- he'd done harder, worked harder. - Deserved a slap in the face?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Oh, yeah, he did, afterwards, I was close.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Did the boy become a man here, last time, Baz?- I did, indeed.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- I proved Danny that I was going to beat him. Grr.- Grr.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48It's the big finale. A fitting end to this final qualifier.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Grr.- Grr.- Wahey!
0:30:58 > 0:31:04When these guys eventually land, the battle is on. Here we go.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Ha-ha.- Whoa.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Here goes Dan. Right, oh, door's got him.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25But he's back up, what a recovery.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Tevez the dog. Getting past, oh, yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Nudged by the back door but still on.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37So, Dan's archrival Baz, now.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Ow. Ow.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Baby-face smashed in.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Baz has handed Dan the advantage.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49So, can Dan join the massed ranks of today's ball-crossers?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Whoa. Oh-ho-ho. Come on, oh, no.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Oh, he nearly made it with sheer momentum.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Dan was a bin bag's breadth from becoming the seventh
0:31:58 > 0:32:01to get over those things today. That was amazing.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Baz is trailing a bit now.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11This is an incredibly fast run, so far, from Wheelie Dan
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Over the bar. Come on, nearly there.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Oh, yeah, ow.- Ah!
0:32:22 > 0:32:26So, it's back to Baz who is some way behind Wheelie Dan, here.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33How about a second slice of toast. Come on. Woo-hoo. He's still on.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39Oh, makes he second log, under the bar. He's got go over. Over the bar.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44Oh, and he is through to Ski Lift with two minutes 13.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49But Wheelie Dan's handsomely beaten Baz with a time of one minute 54.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51What a qualifier.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Wheelie Dan's shot to the top in this incredibly close qualifier,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57only 22 seconds separating the top 12.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Suspicious Helen's in sixth. Beat Man John also in sixth.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03And there's a tie in 12th place, Ollie Pudding and Rob Boy.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05So, it's going to be a photo finish.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10The photos, please. Thank you.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Well, um, that hasn't helped.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16So, it's going to come down to fractions of a second, instead.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21I'm not very good with fractions, I'll need my pencil case.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Set square. Compasses.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27One of those.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Right, now, I just wait for the answer to come to me.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Ollie Pudding was quickest. Don't ask to see my working out.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40So, now, it's time to say goodbye
0:33:40 > 0:33:42to those not-quite-champion-enough champions,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44who didn't make it to the Ski Lift.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46# When you go
0:33:46 > 0:33:49# Will you send back
0:33:49 > 0:33:53# A letter from America?
0:33:53 > 0:33:58# Take a look at the rail track
0:33:58 > 0:34:01# From Miami to Canada. #
0:34:25 > 0:34:29It's the final Ski Lift and the same rules apply.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3212 champions and runners-up try to hang on in there
0:34:32 > 0:34:35as the Scary Ski Poles get ever higher.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Last five still hanging are through to the next round.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40The other seven take their seats on the losers' bench.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41For the first time ever.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45There's a big difference between a normal Ski Lift
0:34:45 > 0:34:47and the final Ski Lift.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Oh, no, wait, there's not.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Except that this one might take a little bit longer
0:34:51 > 0:34:53cos they're all really good. Rrr.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Are you all already?- Yeah!
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Three, two, one.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01CLAXON
0:35:01 > 0:35:04He was the fastest binman in the qualifier. It's Wheelie Dan.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Baz, I'm taking you to the landfill, woop-woop!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Still having a go at his archrival.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Danny, it's time to put out the trash.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Baby-face Baz, the champion with a score to settle.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Then there's New School Cool Ben, Gibberish Jon and Ala-Ka-Dan.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21I may be up against some big biceps
0:35:21 > 0:35:25but nothing's going to out-power my magic wand.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- There's the cops' Beat Man John. - This course is no copper stopper
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I'm going to stay on proper.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- This corpse is not going to drop. - And Suspicious Helen.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36There's Katri Likes It Hot.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Cappuccino Mikey and, finally, John the Cherry Man.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- I know what he's going to say. - Who's the Cherry Man?- I knew that.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46We had established that already, but OK.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48As the Scary Ski Poles get going,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51the first seven contestants to fall will be eliminated.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- This is going to be tense. - And they are off.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55What a champion start this is.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01And straightaway, there's Short Shorts Dan in trouble. Oh.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04There's Dan and John opting for the legs-up approach.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05What is JP doing?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So, there's Dan.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Argh!- Dan!- Oh, no, Short Shorts Dan is down and out.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Yeah, that was just one pummelling too many for Dan.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22This former champion is the first victim of today's Ski Lift.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25My jazz hands are tired now but they've won once,
0:36:25 > 0:36:26they've held that trophy once,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29they don't need hold it again, it's all right.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Short Shorts Dan heads out of the competition.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34The next six to fall will lose all they've worked for
0:36:34 > 0:36:36in the blink of an eye.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40So, there's Mikey. John the Cherry Man.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Oh, no.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- John the Cherry Man is out.- Cherry John just got pipped to the post.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Maybe that snow made John lose his grip but he slipped.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51And ducked.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55My cherry has been picked but I'm not yet squeezed.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Moving, cherry-related words from John, there.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00There's New School Cool Ben, good work.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Ooh, Suspicious Helen.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05They're all making light work of those Scary Ski Poles,
0:37:05 > 0:37:07look how high they are already.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08But then these are champions, you see,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10it's a higher quality of competitor.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13There's Dan. Gibberish Jon.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Oh. Oh, no. Suspicious Helen is the next fall.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22She took that right in the champion face.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Yeah, that Scary Ski Pole caught her right in the kisser.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Then she had a little lie down on the podium before going for a swim.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Ouch.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I'm going to be going home with my head held low, unfortunately.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36No, no, Helen shouldn't hang her head low
0:37:36 > 0:37:38with such stiff competition today,
0:37:38 > 0:37:40it is a great achievement to get this far.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41It hurts but it's great.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43So, back to the game
0:37:43 > 0:37:47and the next four to fall will be heading out of the competition.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50So, there's Ben just managing to hang on.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- Gibberish Jon, there.- I tell you what, Jon is not letting go.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Oh. Who's that? It's Wheelie Dan.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Oh, Wheelie Dan's gone. And Mikey.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Mikey.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07And Gibberish Jon. Wow. Oh, carnage, all of a sudden.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09He was the fastest in the qualifier
0:38:09 > 0:38:12but Dan's charge was ended by that Ski Pole.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I thought I could get through it but in the end, it was,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17like, smack, straight in the face and you just can't hold on.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21This is the thing, they've held on for so long,
0:38:21 > 0:38:22those Ski Poles are so high.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Cappuccino Mikey had his torso rearranged.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Can't find a word that describes how unbearable the feeling is.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32You know, that you didn't get through when you tried your hardest.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Poor Mikey.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Then Gibberish Jon was temporarily shut up,
0:38:37 > 0:38:38courtesy of a Ski Pole in his gob.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Get ready for a long interview, I'm going to get comfortable.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44It is the most intense feeling of adrenaline
0:38:44 > 0:38:46as you're body's firing.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49'Yeah, couple of sugars as well. In mine.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54'Is he still going? Yeah. Oh, that's better, that's better.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56'Leave it there, thank you, thank you.'
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- It's crunch time, now. - Got one more, people. Just one more.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07Yup, we have. The next person to fall will be eliminated.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- There's Katri, Ollie Pudding. - Ollie, Ollie, Ollie, oi, oi, oi.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13There's Baz.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Oh, Baz!- In trouble. Hold on.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Ooh, ooh, no. Baz is out. Heartbreaking.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Katri just managed to dodge the bullet
0:39:24 > 0:39:26but not so for Baby-face Baz.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30And with that wallop, Baz is the final contestant to be eliminated.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35So close, yet so far. I knew there were six on there as well.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- I just missed out. - Oh, poor little face.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46So, five contestants are through to the next round.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47They're playing for the elite status
0:39:47 > 0:39:49of Last Champion Hanging.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53And they are, Katri Likes It Hot. Ala-Ka-Dan.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56New School Cool Ben.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Ollie Pudding. And Beat Man John.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00They're just after glory now.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04The Last Man or Woman Hanging.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08So, Katri's just holding on.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Ooh, ow. Ooh, ooh.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Beat Man John takes one for the force.- Wipeout!
0:40:15 > 0:40:20There's Ben. Ooh, he's slipped. Oh.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- Oh, and Ollie Pudding. - Will it be Katri or will it be Dan?
0:40:29 > 0:40:32There's Katri, still hanging on. Determined.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Dan.
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Ow. Ooh.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Oh, and with that magical fall, the Last Man Hanging today is...
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Katri!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Not a man. It's Katri, well done, Katri.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Wow. I can't get over how tense that Ski Lift was.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58What a competition this is becoming.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00The other thing I can't get over
0:41:00 > 0:41:03is the overpowering smell of this jumper.
0:41:05 > 0:41:11It's like a mix of 25-year-old musk and Mr Desmond Lynam.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15It's been most manly thing I've ever smelt. Makes me want to wrestle.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18But I can't sit around smelling pullovers all day,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20it's time to get on with Winter Blunderland.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31It's an all-out champion's dash across the Blunderland course
0:41:31 > 0:41:34which has been ramped up for the final.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37So, the really hard, rotating bone-thing, just got much harder.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40And the ice-cube-chucking, stroppy skiers are, if anything,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42even more stroppy.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Two heats. Last across in each heat is eliminated.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48The three who survive those heats are today's finalists.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52One step away from being crowned Series Champion.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57It's the last Winter Blunderland of the series.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01I'm feeling pretty emotional. They're feeling pretty sick, really.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- Anyway, are you all ready?- Yeah!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Three, two, one.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14And so, a reminded of this elite band of blunderers.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18He's crossed the balls twice. It's Beat Man John.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22He's a born entertainer. It's Ala-Ka-Dan.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28He's rather cool and from the new school. It's New School Cool Ben.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33Last Woman Standing and hanging. It's Katri Likes It Hot.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- And, finally...- Argh!
0:42:35 > 0:42:39..the speedy, loud, pudding-maker. It's Ollie Pudding.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Oh! My God.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45And as the Wizard comes to a halt,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47the last contestant across will be eliminated.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50This is going to be exciting, I know it, it is.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52OK, that's Ollie out of the Trap first,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54closely followed by Ben and Katri.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Ooh, ooh, they're chucking.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Come on, Ollie. - But Ollie's making good progress.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01He's onto the Crankshaft straightaway
0:43:01 > 0:43:04and is moving pretty fast today.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Ollie hanging on in there.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Ooh, he's made it. Roteratator next for him.
0:43:10 > 0:43:16There's John. Biding his time. This is great from Ollie. Iceberg next.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- Ooh. Oh, no.- Ollie.- Oh, he's going to have to swim back to the ladder.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Bad luck. John, now, in the lead and looking good.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- Yes!- Woo-hoo.
0:43:26 > 0:43:30Beat Man John makes it, comfortably, into the next heat.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33The action carries on. Here's Ben on the Iceberg, getting dizzy.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35It's faster today, isn't it?
0:43:37 > 0:43:39OK. Everything's faster.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41So, there's Ollie. Oh, no.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43Double whammy.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47Ollie and Ben doing a synchronised fall.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50That's a beautiful thing. OK, here's Katri.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- Come on, Katri.- Onto the Iceberg.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55That's really... It's like getting into a washing machine.
0:43:55 > 0:43:59Come on, come on. Yes, it's all in the timing.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00Oh, no, oh.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03That dismount is proving difficult today.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Katri will need to take the long route back.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09Yeah, just first finding her face wherever it dropped into the pool.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11There's Ben, going for it again!
0:44:11 > 0:44:14Dan, waiting in the wings.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16Here's Olly.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Oh... Oh no!
0:44:18 > 0:44:20No, he's out again!
0:44:20 > 0:44:23So Ala-Ka-Dan with a chance now.
0:44:23 > 0:44:24This is anybody's game.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Ah! Yes. Dan's through.- Dan!
0:44:28 > 0:44:32With that marvellous jump Dan is in the second heat
0:44:32 > 0:44:35and the next two contestants across will join him.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Katri in trouble...oh!
0:44:37 > 0:44:41Oh! That's novel. No, that's not going to work.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43She's last in the queue now, has to go back to the beginning.
0:44:43 > 0:44:47Ben is out in front. Must be getting tired.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50That's Ben, makes the leap, he's across.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54Olly now. Katri's only hope is that he falls in here.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58He's on the iceberg, and he's made it, which means the last lady
0:44:58 > 0:45:02and Ski Lift champion Katri Likes It Hot, has been eliminated.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04Bad luck.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Katri...
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Oh, my darling girl, you quite literally just went
0:45:08 > 0:45:10ten rounds with Winter Blunderland
0:45:10 > 0:45:12and lost! Oh no!
0:45:12 > 0:45:15I know, I know. So frustrating.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16What can I do?
0:45:16 > 0:45:19You can say you didn't do your ABSOLUTE best.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Well done, Katri and hard luck for not getting any further.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23Thank you very much.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28This is very much it - the decider.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30The first three across will be in the Wipeout Zone
0:45:30 > 0:45:32for the series finale.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34This is serious.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38Kind of...you know, as serious as it can be. It's serious, it is serious.
0:45:40 > 0:45:41- And they're out.- Yep.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45Ben off first. A bit unsteady. Oh.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50Who's that? Olly giving an outstanding run, sprinting ahead.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Ben's still dizzy.
0:45:52 > 0:45:56Olly still sprinting. This is looking good.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58The pressure's showing on the other three there
0:45:58 > 0:46:02but there's no stopping Olly. Look at him go!
0:46:02 > 0:46:04Round the Roteratator, on to the iceberg.
0:46:04 > 0:46:09Just one tricky jump remains to seal his place in the Wipeout Zone.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Ben on the Crank Shaft. Oh, it got him!
0:46:11 > 0:46:14That thing is pretty vicious today, taking no prisoners.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21Back on the iceberg, Olly is nearly there, is he going to make it?
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Go on, Olly!
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Stand up, Olly!
0:46:25 > 0:46:26Yes!
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Oh, yes, he did!
0:46:29 > 0:46:31Olly "Pudding" is the first into the Wipeout Zone.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36This is tense now. John out in front.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38He jumps for the iceberg. No!
0:46:40 > 0:46:41Dan now. Oh, no, again!
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Now Ben.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48And he's on, no he's off the iceberg, again.
0:46:48 > 0:46:49Here's Dan.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51- Ohhh.- Come on, Dan.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55Ice cubes...aowww!
0:46:57 > 0:47:00Makes his leap and that is Dan through.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04With a wonderful jump.
0:47:04 > 0:47:05Slam down.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Oh, this is knife-edge stuff now,
0:47:09 > 0:47:12either John or Ben is about to be eliminated.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14Fastest copper in the West.
0:47:14 > 0:47:19Ben's got to hope that John takes a dip now. This is just all too tense.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Oh, and big man John is in the Wipeout Zone.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25"New school cool Ben" is out.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Ohhh.
0:47:27 > 0:47:28And he's crushed.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- Man, you were doing so very well! - I was doing OK, I'm gutted.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33I am. I'm disappointed in myself.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36These guys were just well deserving of it so I wish them all the best.
0:47:36 > 0:47:40Well, this is it. Winter Wipeout cup final day is upon us.
0:47:40 > 0:47:44And now, time to see today's final finalists making their way
0:47:44 > 0:47:48to the hallowed Winter Wipeout Zone on their team buses.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50HIGH PITCHED SOUND
0:47:50 > 0:47:55Ah...I'm afraid we've lost the link to the live bus link up link.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59I can only imagine what must be going through their minds right now
0:47:59 > 0:48:01on their journey to the Wipeout Zone.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Apparently I don't need to imagine what's going through their mind because of this.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Getting here a second time round means
0:48:10 > 0:48:12so much more than the first time round.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Knowing you're up against people who've all got through
0:48:15 > 0:48:17to that stage before and proving you're capable,
0:48:17 > 0:48:21not only of doing it again, but of doing it over all those other guys
0:48:21 > 0:48:24is a huge, huge achievement.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26So proud to be in the final three.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28I cannot WAIT to face the Wipeout Zone again.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I can't believe I'm here!
0:48:32 > 0:48:33The final of the final of the final.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36Ah, Winter Wipeout, what can I say?
0:48:36 > 0:48:39John's very good. He's a very fit elder man.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42Really shown his worth out on all of the obstacles that we've faced.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43He's been consistent.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46He's been tireless in his approach to everything.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49My dad's an ex-copper and they're clever blokes,
0:48:49 > 0:48:51but I don't think clever enough to win it tonight.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54- Olly's going to be a strong competitor. - He's younger, he's my age.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Olly's a great guy - the Christmas pie guy.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00- Let's hope he's eaten too many puddings this evening. - HE YELLS OUT
0:49:00 > 0:49:02He's definitely one to look out for.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I think Dan's going to be the one to catch tonight.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06His hair might get a bit messed up in the Wipeout Zone.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Whoever wins it is going to be the true champion of champions.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12I cannot wait to face the Wipeout Zone again.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14I'm going to try harder, I'm going to push harder.
0:49:14 > 0:49:18It's been a long, hard road but it's going to be worth it in the end.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20And may the best man win.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23As long as it's me.
0:49:30 > 0:49:35They are all former champions but either Olly, John or Dan are minutes
0:49:35 > 0:49:38away from winning the ultimate title - series champion.
0:49:39 > 0:49:43It's the final Wipeout Zone of the series and I'm so excited,
0:49:43 > 0:49:44I could explode!
0:49:46 > 0:49:49Hasn't happened yet so let's get cracking,
0:49:49 > 0:49:50John is the first to go.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58Indeed first to go is Double Ball crossing, speedy pOllyceman John.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01I've never lost the taste I don't intend to start tonight.
0:50:13 > 0:50:17Well, a champion dive there from John.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Give the man some support!
0:50:19 > 0:50:21- Quickly making his way to the North Pole.- Come on, John!
0:50:26 > 0:50:30Slippery, but looking good. Straight up and on to the icy stairs.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34The fastest copper in town.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37Quickly on to the second for John.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40I suspect those stairs are going to be particularly jiggly today.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Yes, he's at the summit. Now begins the tricky descent.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46Oh, that's it.
0:50:46 > 0:50:47Oh! Ah-ha, careful!
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Yes...oh, no! He's in.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Straight off that last step.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59John's going to have to pull all the stops out now to win that title.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04He faces the ladder, sapping strength, up to the Ice Picks.
0:51:04 > 0:51:07John still has a strong time though. Passed the first pick.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09All in the timing now.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- Yes, oh no! Oh, it got him.- No!
0:51:12 > 0:51:14Disaster for John.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Every fall is costing him valuable seconds, it's a swim and a climb.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19All right, John, make it happen.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21The clock is ticking. John's up for the Frightcicles.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25Go, go! That's it. Look at those little legs go.
0:51:25 > 0:51:26Timing his exit now.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30Successfully on to the other side.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Just the Snowflakes now.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35This is tense, this is the first time, time to beat, looking good.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41Oh...on to the second. This is fantastic.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43One jump and John has beaten the Snowflakes.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47He's made it in 2 minutes 33. What a finish!
0:51:48 > 0:51:52Look at you still smiling away!
0:51:53 > 0:51:55John that was absolutely amazing!
0:51:55 > 0:51:58You copped it a couple of times but your recovery was incredible.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01Thank you. I fell off twice. Not quite as good as last time
0:52:01 > 0:52:04but it was good fun. Let's just hope it was good enough.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Yours is the time to beat but Ollyver is up next, yeah.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09- Oh, yeah. Come on, Olly. - Let's watch.
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Second to go then, "Olly the pudding maker".
0:52:16 > 0:52:19I'm the ultimate pudding!
0:52:21 > 0:52:24This Christmas pudding maker from Kendal only narrowly made it
0:52:24 > 0:52:27past the qualifier, can he beat John's 2 minutes 33?
0:52:37 > 0:52:40He's wasting no time getting to the North Pole.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46Up and at 'em. Straight up to the icy stairs.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49This is looking quick already. Oh...
0:52:49 > 0:52:51He looks confident here.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58He's already at the top.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00Oh...oh...
0:53:00 > 0:53:02- Ah!- Go on, Olly.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Oh, hang on, Olly. Oh! He's off.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06BOTH: OH!
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Man alive!
0:53:08 > 0:53:12So that last step has been the undoing of both finalists so far.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Olly's up to the Ice Picks.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Now, John fell here, can Olly claw it back where it counts?
0:53:20 > 0:53:23He's at the third Pick. Oh no.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Oh! Exactly the same as you!
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Which means this is going to be close.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Olly is neck a neck with John right now.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Waiting for that Frightcicle gangway to move around.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Got to stay on, here we go. Oh no!
0:53:45 > 0:53:46Oh no.
0:53:48 > 0:53:52That was the wrong time. Just the wrong time.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56That's cost Olly some seconds. Just the Snowflakes stand
0:53:56 > 0:53:58in his way.
0:54:02 > 0:54:03He's on.
0:54:05 > 0:54:06Wow, and he's quick.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10This is unbelievable.
0:54:10 > 0:54:142 minutes 22. Olly has beaten John by 11 seconds.
0:54:15 > 0:54:20Ollyver, come out here, sunshine. How are you feeling, my son?
0:54:20 > 0:54:22I feel brilliant, that was absolutely amazing.
0:54:22 > 0:54:26- Why? - It's the best of the best. You can't get better than this.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30- It's amazing. - Oh, I tell you what, you boys have my heart racing tonight.
0:54:30 > 0:54:35Ollyver I've got to tell you, John was INCREDIBLE out there also.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40But only one of you can be one step closer to being the champion.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44It's you, Ollyver!
0:54:44 > 0:54:45John, I'm so sorry, my man.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47You know what this means.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Yours is the time to beat
0:54:49 > 0:54:51but Dan who's quite magical also is next to go.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54Yeah, good luck to Dan. He's going to need it.
0:54:54 > 0:54:55All right, let's watch.
0:54:57 > 0:55:01Now, for the final run and he has got his work cut out here.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04The only person breaking this record time is me!
0:55:04 > 0:55:06It's Ala-Ka-Dan.
0:55:19 > 0:55:21So 2 minutes 22 is the target
0:55:21 > 0:55:25but then Dan does hold the series record for the fastest Wipeout Zone.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28He did it in 1 minute 34 last time.
0:55:28 > 0:55:29Dan the magic man.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33He's got it all ahead of him now.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Look at that racing up those stairs. Oh, this is amazing.
0:55:37 > 0:55:38Already at the top.
0:55:38 > 0:55:39OH!
0:55:39 > 0:55:42Begins his descent...Oh no way!
0:55:42 > 0:55:44The same step as you!
0:55:44 > 0:55:46- Come on, Dan!- Oh my goodness.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51Oh...third run, third faller on the icy stairs.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Once again it's a dunk,
0:55:53 > 0:55:56a swim and an energy-sapping climb up the ladder.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Now both of Dan's opponents came unstuck here.
0:55:59 > 0:56:03Past the first, the second, oh no.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08Don't worry, you're not watching the same run three times,
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Dan really did fall there.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15So the times all similar again, there's nothing in it.
0:56:15 > 0:56:19On the Frightcicles, good work, Dan is at the middle.
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Timing his exit and he's made it over. Now Dan is ahead.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25If he makes it over the snow flakes the title will surely be his.
0:56:25 > 0:56:26It's all to play for.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29He's on to the first. Come on, Dan.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31I can't watch. On to the second, I can't look. I can't look.
0:56:33 > 0:56:35Oh, yes! 1 minute 50.
0:56:35 > 0:56:36Dan has done it!
0:56:46 > 0:56:50TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYS
0:57:20 > 0:57:25- Dan.- Come on out, my darling.
0:57:25 > 0:57:29Dan, I've got three words for you. That was magic. How are you feeling?
0:57:29 > 0:57:32Very, very tired. Very excited.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35I gave it my best shot, that's all I could do. You got it, mate.
0:57:35 > 0:57:37You're worthy. Thanks, my man.
0:57:37 > 0:57:42Dan, listen I've got to tell you, you would have to be pretty fast to beat the "Pudding" man.
0:57:42 > 0:57:47I know you both want to know who the Winter Wipeout series champion is.
0:57:49 > 0:57:51And it is...
0:57:52 > 0:57:54Abracadabra, it's Dan!
0:57:57 > 0:57:58Congratulations, man.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00So Dan Allen, the magician from Ledbury
0:58:00 > 0:58:04is the first-ever champions champion of Winter Wipeout.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13What a final. What a series.
