BBC One - Total Wipeout, Series 5, Episode 3

Contestants include a pair of quarrelsome neighbours, a Thai boxer and a police officer.

Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram present the obstacle course-based game show. Contestants include a pair of quarrelsome neighbours, a Thai boxer and a police officer.

Destruction! Terror! Mayhem! Sounds like the key ingredients to another hilarious edition of Britain's number 1 knockabout, foam-padded, obstacle-strewn game show Total Wipeout. Once again 20 foolish and fabulous contestants travel half way across the globe to the purpose built course in Buenos Aires.

Awaiting contestants like quarrelsome neighbours Grant and Ian, Thai boxing boy-basher Charlene and glamorous police officer Miriam are four rounds of punishing challenges and a guaranteed dunking in Argentine water. Serving up the laughs today are the Flap Trap, those devilish Big Red Balls, the ever-surprising Double Cross and the carnage that is Terror-Go-Round.

Richard Hammond is your perplexed and constantly amused host, Amanda Byram goads and giggles from the sidelines and one contestant will be laying claim to that most desirable of all titles - Total Wipeout champion. The £10,000 first prize is a pretty handy bonus too.
