WEBVTT

00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:05.582
They say an Englishman's home
is his castle, and this is mine!

00:00:05.607 --> 00:00:09.582
Some say it's a bit on the big side
for one person, but...

00:00:09.607 --> 00:00:11.892
Well, it's somewhere to lay my head.

00:00:11.917 --> 00:00:14.972
Yes, I'm just a regular guy
living in a standard gaff,

00:00:14.997 --> 00:00:17.302
leading an ordinary existence

00:00:17.327 --> 00:00:20.531
and struggling to answer
all of life's big questions.

00:00:20.556 --> 00:00:24.222
Like... Why can't I feed the dog
while relaxing in the garden?

00:00:24.247 --> 00:00:26.942
Is it possible for me to boil
the kettle

00:00:26.967 --> 00:00:29.302
while I perform
my morning ablutions?

00:00:29.327 --> 00:00:33.692
And why can't I cook my sausages
while writing my memoirs?

00:00:33.717 --> 00:00:37.611
I'm sure there are neat, but dreary
digital solutions available,

00:00:37.636 --> 00:00:39.541
but who wants to do this...

00:00:40.816 --> 00:00:42.541
...when you can do this?

00:00:48.287 --> 00:00:50.072
It's just better.

00:00:50.097 --> 00:00:54.102
And we've reached the first
semifinal of my knockout tournament.

00:00:54.127 --> 00:00:55.741
This already feels dangerous.

00:00:55.766 --> 00:00:58.052
Where teams of amateur engineers...

00:00:58.077 --> 00:01:01.972
Oh! ..will compete to perform
my ordinary chores

00:01:01.997 --> 00:01:03.942
in extraordinary ways.

00:01:03.967 --> 00:01:05.582
Love it when a plan comes together.

00:01:05.607 --> 00:01:07.382
With chain-reaction machines...

00:01:09.407 --> 00:01:12.902
...crazy contraptions made famous
by viral videos

00:01:12.927 --> 00:01:16.902
that involve linking up
everyday objects to magical effect.

00:01:19.177 --> 00:01:20.692
Boom!

00:01:20.717 --> 00:01:24.741
Chain—reaction guru Zach Umperovitch
is the fearsome judge.

00:01:24.766 --> 00:01:27.052
That better work perfectly
the first time.

00:01:27.077 --> 00:01:28.741
Oh! You stupid thing!

00:01:30.537 --> 00:01:34.052
Dr Shini Somara will reveal
the science inside the machines.

00:01:36.007 --> 00:01:41.512
And very soon, one team will be
crowned Chain—Reaction Champions.

00:01:49.047 --> 00:01:53.432
Over the years, I've built up quite
a collection of fine bone china.

00:01:53.457 --> 00:01:56.182
As you can imagine,
it takes some looking after.

00:01:56.207 --> 00:02:01.512
But on my bi-weekly duvet days,
dusting is simply a chore too far.

00:02:01.537 --> 00:02:03.462
Which got me thinking.

00:02:03.487 --> 00:02:05.822
Could off-kilter engineering
save the day

00:02:05.847 --> 00:02:08.421
and allow me to take care
of my priceless collection

00:02:08.446 --> 00:02:10.062
without leaving my bed?

00:02:13.446 --> 00:02:18.102
My first dust—busting semifinalists
are two bands of brothers.

00:02:18.127 --> 00:02:21.062
The Field houses from Somerset
won their heat

00:02:21.087 --> 00:02:24.102
with an ingenious way
for me to make my bed.

00:02:24.127 --> 00:02:25.421
Well done, team!

00:02:25.446 --> 00:02:28.592
We all want to get to the final, don't we?
Yeah. We're going to do whatever we can.

00:02:28.617 --> 00:02:31.032
The Buenos, originally from Spain,

00:02:31.057 --> 00:02:34.621
triumphed with a terrifying
plant-watering contraption.

00:02:36.617 --> 00:02:38.952
This is a competition,
and we must win!

00:02:38.977 --> 00:02:41.312
Both are hoping to do their families
proud,

00:02:41.337 --> 00:02:44.152
as they enter one of my many
outbuildings.

00:02:44.177 --> 00:02:47.062
I may be eccentric,
but I'm not completely mad.

00:02:47.087 --> 00:02:49.671
I'm not letting the teams in here.

00:02:49.696 --> 00:02:52.342
Instead, each set of siblings
has a workshop

00:02:52.367 --> 00:02:54.902
packed with objects
to use in their contraptions.

00:02:54.927 --> 00:02:56.182
Well, here we are.

00:02:56.207 --> 00:02:59.032
Look at her go!
Oh, my God, it is Mama Duck!

00:03:00.537 --> 00:03:03.952
And three days to create
machines that traverse my bedroom,

00:03:03.977 --> 00:03:05.702
hallway and lounge.

00:03:05.727 --> 00:03:07.782
I think we need to rearrange,
don't we, a bit?

00:03:07.807 --> 00:03:11.421
We've got big ideas, so we've got to
execute those and we've got to link them up,

00:03:11.446 --> 00:03:13.751
but most importantly,
we've got to do it reliably.

00:03:15.646 --> 00:03:17.512
I'm pretty confident
we're going to have fun.

00:03:17.537 --> 00:03:19.871
Yeah. Yeah. If nothing else.
That's all we care about.

00:03:19.896 --> 00:03:22.232
WHIRRING
Oh, for Pete's sake!

00:03:22.257 --> 00:03:26.082
The Bueno Brothers are already
destroying my bedroom furniture.

00:03:26.107 --> 00:03:29.721
Enrique's ripping out my drawers
to use them as dominoes,

00:03:29.746 --> 00:03:31.952
which is no surprise.

00:03:33.027 --> 00:03:36.442
Because they won their heat
with a destructive, dynamic machine

00:03:36.467 --> 00:03:38.841
that was sometimes unreliable.

00:03:38.866 --> 00:03:40.521
It's stopped!

00:03:40.546 --> 00:03:43.442
Which could be why big brother
javi's got doubts.

00:03:43.467 --> 00:03:46.162
I don't think doing dominoes
with this is a good idea.

00:03:46.187 --> 00:03:48.112
No, it's fine, because you saw
the bits inside.

00:03:48.137 --> 00:03:49.924
No... What...? No... What do you

00:03:49.948 --> 00:03:50.802
want to build with
this? Anything.

00:03:50.827 --> 00:03:52.641
Starting well, then.

00:03:52.666 --> 00:03:55.922
ALARM WAILS
Um... Ooh! It's going to slide.

00:03:55.947 --> 00:03:57.752
Ooh, that's the alarm that tells me

00:03:57.777 --> 00:04:00.752
another set of brothers
are living up to their reputation.

00:04:00.777 --> 00:04:02.521
The vibration of the alarm

00:04:02.546 --> 00:04:05.721
allows it to overcome the
coefficient of friction on the ramp.

00:04:05.746 --> 00:04:07.672
We've wired up a switch to it

00:04:07.697 --> 00:04:10.002
so that we can just turn it on
whenever we like.

00:04:10.027 --> 00:04:13.162
This fiddly step is typical Adam.

00:04:14.587 --> 00:04:16.242
It worked.

00:04:16.267 --> 00:04:17.922
It's not meant to do that.

00:04:17.947 --> 00:04:19.851
He infuriated his brothers
in the heat...

00:04:19.876 --> 00:04:22.162
Probably broken it all now.

00:04:22.187 --> 00:04:24.672
...by obsessing over soap jumps...

00:04:24.697 --> 00:04:26.442
When do we give up on that, Adam?

00:04:26.467 --> 00:04:28.752
...and collapsing train tracks...

00:04:28.777 --> 00:04:31.082
The ball rolls down
and it nudges it.

00:04:31.107 --> 00:04:32.362
Oh, this might be a bit ambitious.

00:04:32.387 --> 00:04:34.242
Ooh! Come on! Come on, soap! Ooh!

00:04:34.267 --> 00:04:37.682
...in the intricate and funny machine
that won their heats.

00:04:37.707 --> 00:04:40.442
Still, he usually gets there
in the end.

00:04:42.267 --> 00:04:43.882
Oh, my God!

00:04:43.907 --> 00:04:47.362
Don't let Adam run away with a
complicated task for five hours' straight.

00:04:47.387 --> 00:04:51.292
My stats carried it through last time, so
I'm going to go bigger, more ambitious.

00:04:51.317 --> 00:04:53.042
Have you seen the duck?

00:04:53.067 --> 00:04:57.002
I imagine the only thing these very
different sets of siblings share...

00:04:58.777 --> 00:05:00.442
...is patient parents.

00:05:01.876 --> 00:05:04.869
Hello! Morning, Bueno Brothers.

00:05:04.893 --> 00:05:05.882
How are we? Good. OK, yeah.

00:05:05.907 --> 00:05:08.802
Is there going to be a general theme
we're going to see to your approach

00:05:08.827 --> 00:05:10.601
to really turning out
something special?

00:05:10.626 --> 00:05:13.292
So we want to try and kind of
broaden a little bit more,

00:05:13.317 --> 00:05:16.492
use more types of transitions,
you know, like, it's all mechanical.

00:05:16.517 --> 00:05:19.082
We're mixing in a little bit of
chemical, some electrical.

00:05:19.107 --> 00:05:22.932
Kind of more of the same, but at the
same time, better, if that makes sense?

00:05:22.957 --> 00:05:25.442
More of the same, but better.

00:05:25.467 --> 00:05:29.851
Exciting to watch and terrifying
for their rivals.

00:05:29.876 --> 00:05:32.212
Field house Brothers, hello!
Hello. Hello. Hello.

00:05:32.237 --> 00:05:34.682
Are you feeling
brilliant and creative?

00:05:34.707 --> 00:05:37.496
We're feeling
nervous. Our family's

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:38.442
reputation is completely
on the line here.

00:05:38.467 --> 00:05:41.401
That's what it's come down to.
It's fantastic.

00:05:41.426 --> 00:05:43.762
We've got two sets of brothers
battling it out.

00:05:43.787 --> 00:05:47.162
One of the issues you had
in the first round

00:05:47.187 --> 00:05:52.042
was a tendency to get distracted
and fixated on one small thing.

00:05:52.067 --> 00:05:54.401
Mm. Mot looking at anybody, Adam.

00:05:54.426 --> 00:05:57.242
We've given him a time limit on
everything Adam attempts this time round.

00:05:57.267 --> 00:06:00.452
So if it's more than one hour,
he needs to ditch it and move on.

00:06:00.477 --> 00:06:03.292
Yeah, let's see how that goes.

00:06:04.626 --> 00:06:08.092
Their plan is to use Adam's
alarm clock to trigger a ball

00:06:08.117 --> 00:06:09.842
that turns a rotor,

00:06:09.867 --> 00:06:11.882
tipping a jug of orange juice,

00:06:11.907 --> 00:06:14.172
releasing a ball from a cup

00:06:14.197 --> 00:06:16.092
that hits a Newton's cradle,

00:06:16.117 --> 00:06:20.452
flipping a book open, sending a ball
across a train track seesaw,

00:06:20.477 --> 00:06:22.762
which, for now, leads nowhere.

00:06:22.787 --> 00:06:25.372
You've got half an hour left
on that device

00:06:25.397 --> 00:06:28.452
before you've got to ditch it
and move on. I need ten minutes.

00:06:28.477 --> 00:06:32.292
Teams, no-one likes to break
bad news,

00:06:32.317 --> 00:06:33.962
but I'm afraid I'm going to have to.

00:06:33.987 --> 00:06:35.401
Two hours have gone!

00:06:35.426 --> 00:06:37.762
With time ticking,
youngest Bueno Ruben

00:06:37.787 --> 00:06:40.292
is working on a spinning
swimming pool noodle,

00:06:40.317 --> 00:06:42.601
which he wants to trigger
with a dangerous thing

00:06:42.626 --> 00:06:44.932
that he's made more dangerous.

00:06:44.957 --> 00:06:47.762
So we were thinking about shooting
an arrow,

00:06:47.787 --> 00:06:50.252
but we were like, "Why don't we just
shoot the bow instead?"

00:06:50.277 --> 00:06:54.651
The plan is for a laundry-basket lid
to release the bow,

00:06:54.676 --> 00:06:57.842
spinning the noodle,
releasing a boot down a zip line,

00:06:57.867 --> 00:06:59.682
hitting some book dominoes,

00:06:59.707 --> 00:07:02.252
which release a football down
some walking canes

00:07:02.277 --> 00:07:04.012
that trigger the drawer dominoes.

00:07:04.037 --> 00:07:06.372
And at the moment, it stops there.

00:07:06.397 --> 00:07:09.452
Yeah, I might need, like, an
American football helmet or something.

00:07:12.477 --> 00:07:14.012
Three hours have gone.

00:07:14.037 --> 00:07:16.012
But how are we going to keep it
straight?

00:07:16.037 --> 00:07:17.372
I'll build like a thing.

00:07:17.397 --> 00:07:19.452
Javi's trying some intricacy

00:07:19.477 --> 00:07:21.842
by triggering the dominoes
with a gate latch,

00:07:21.867 --> 00:07:24.332
rather than just hitting them.

00:07:24.357 --> 00:07:26.611
So when we release that, this drops.

00:07:26.636 --> 00:07:28.531
Just make sure that that happens.

00:07:28.556 --> 00:07:32.122
With their builds progressing,
the sibling rivalry is growing.

00:07:32.147 --> 00:07:34.092
Your guys' is looking
real intricate.

00:07:34.117 --> 00:07:37.401
Yeah. You look like you've gone
large over there. It looks good.

00:07:37.426 --> 00:07:39.052
Go big or go home, eh?

00:07:39.077 --> 00:07:41.372
Well, exactly.
We might be the ones going home...

00:07:42.477 --> 00:07:44.252
We've gone technical.
It's interesting.

00:07:44.277 --> 00:07:46.052
Yeah. We've gone... It's clever.

00:07:46.077 --> 00:07:47.812
Intricate or big?

00:07:47.837 --> 00:07:50.611
Yeah, that's for the judges
to decide. Yeah, that's true.

00:07:50.636 --> 00:07:53.842
Javi's attempt at intricacy
isn't going well.

00:07:53.867 --> 00:07:57.172
Tie a bunch of weight to that,
er...thing.

00:07:57.197 --> 00:07:58.972
Now we tie those to the thing.

00:07:58.997 --> 00:08:01.302
And the Field houses
could be edging ahead.

00:08:01.327 --> 00:08:03.332
It sounds like they're a bit scared.

00:08:03.357 --> 00:08:06.842
Adam says he's now apparently
officially

00:08:06.867 --> 00:08:08.616
finished the orange
juice squeaker.

00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:09.482
So reliable. Yeah.

00:08:09.506 --> 00:08:12.481
Um...| don't trust him at all,
but apparently he's done it.

00:08:12.506 --> 00:08:14.842
So he's now moved on to
ping—pong ball.

00:08:14.867 --> 00:08:19.531
The ping-pong in question will float
above a hairdryer on a toy car

00:08:19.556 --> 00:08:22.022
that's pulled along by a teddy bear
counterweight,

00:08:22.047 --> 00:08:25.092
until it hits a stool
and drops the ball,

00:08:25.117 --> 00:08:28.562
which triggers a toy train
to leave the room.

00:08:28.587 --> 00:08:30.892
Oh! It just gets stopped.

00:08:30.917 --> 00:08:35.302
Perfecting these delicate steps in
less than two hours will be tough.

00:08:35.327 --> 00:08:37.132
Hey, what happened there?
It fell off!

00:08:38.197 --> 00:08:39.942
Ooh! That's a new one!

00:08:39.967 --> 00:08:43.972
As will making a skateboard
ride on a dresser.

00:08:43.997 --> 00:08:45.661
Thank God you were there.

00:08:45.686 --> 00:08:48.772
Enrique wants the dresser dominoes
to yank a string

00:08:48.797 --> 00:08:52.741
that slams a toilet seat, sending
the skateboard into some spoons

00:08:52.766 --> 00:08:55.611
that bat a ball down a pipe
on to the landing.

00:08:58.636 --> 00:09:01.411
Here you go! It's looking good.

00:09:02.877 --> 00:09:05.462
But javi's given up on
his fiddly latch

00:09:05.487 --> 00:09:10.462
and is creating a far more Bueno
and totally bonkers plan B.

00:09:11.797 --> 00:09:14.741
This has two options. It can either
go sideways and it hits something,

00:09:14.766 --> 00:09:17.052
or, I actually kind of discovered
sort of by accident,

00:09:17.077 --> 00:09:18.942
it tilts heavily. So...

00:09:18.967 --> 00:09:20.609
Just sort it out.

00:09:20.633 --> 00:09:21.672
Yeah, I'm on it. Good.

00:09:21.997 --> 00:09:24.302
But instead of being on it,
just put it there.

00:09:24.327 --> 00:09:26.052
The poor thing.

00:09:26.077 --> 00:09:29.212
With the pressure showing,
the last thing the teams need

00:09:29.237 --> 00:09:31.491
are any distractions.

00:09:31.516 --> 00:09:33.182
Field house Brothers? Yes? Yes?

00:09:33.207 --> 00:09:35.611
Can one of you come over here?
Er...yeah, I can.

00:09:35.636 --> 00:09:37.972
Come on, Adam. Come on, come on,
come on, come on! Ah!

00:09:37.997 --> 00:09:40.661
It's the semifinal. Yeah.
You're in it. Exciting! I know.

00:09:40.686 --> 00:09:44.621
Confidence level for winning it,
one to ten, where are you?

00:09:44.646 --> 00:09:46.237
I don't know. The
other team seem pretty

00:09:46.261 --> 00:09:47.852
good... They are.
..pretty switched on.

00:09:47.877 --> 00:09:50.302
We're about to run our thing
as a full thing.

00:09:50.327 --> 00:09:52.212
Because everything's worked
at least once,

00:09:52.237 --> 00:09:53.902
we just need to join it all together
now.

00:09:53.927 --> 00:09:55.491
Ooh, let's have a look then.

00:10:03.877 --> 00:10:04.982
Go on!

00:10:06.436 --> 00:10:08.692
No. The ping-pong hasn't dropped.

00:10:08.717 --> 00:10:11.132
This could be a lifeline for Javi.

00:10:11.157 --> 00:10:14.212
Right! Now, um...this is
the semifinal.

00:10:14.237 --> 00:10:16.772
Are you happy with your scale
of ambition,

00:10:16.797 --> 00:10:19.132
with your creativity,
with all the key elements?

00:10:19.157 --> 00:10:22.212
Er...if I'm perfectly honest,
not...not quite.

00:10:22.237 --> 00:10:23.199
Why not? We had some ideas as to

00:10:23.223 --> 00:10:26.132
what we were going to sort of do

00:10:26.157 --> 00:10:29.102
and then we came in here
and then we started doing things,

00:10:29.127 --> 00:10:31.621
and then we've had a few plans
not quite pan out.

00:10:31.646 --> 00:10:34.661
I think we were kind of, sort of
hoping for something slightly better

00:10:34.686 --> 00:10:37.741
and we're kind of sort of having
to settle for the next—best thing.

00:10:37.766 --> 00:10:40.102
This is not the time to be
settling for next best. No.

00:10:40.127 --> 00:10:42.342
This is the semifinals. Yeah.

00:10:43.597 --> 00:10:47.982
But with half an hour left, the
Buenos' machine is coming together.

00:10:48.007 --> 00:10:50.342
OK, let's try that one more time.
Tried a few times.

00:10:50.367 --> 00:10:52.741
And javi's finally looking
on the bright side.

00:10:52.766 --> 00:10:55.102
The thing is, we've been taking
extra time

00:10:55.127 --> 00:10:57.421
to make sure that every step
is very reliable at every step,

00:10:57.446 --> 00:10:58.982
which has taken up more time.

00:10:59.007 --> 00:11:00.902
To be fair, we've tested separately.
Yeah.

00:11:00.927 --> 00:11:02.782
So on the one hand,
we're kind of panicking,

00:11:02.807 --> 00:11:05.741
cos, like, we have less time
to test, but it's because

00:11:05.766 --> 00:11:10.102
we've spent more time making sure
we need to test less later, so...

00:11:10.127 --> 00:11:11.702
I'm not sure if that made any sense.

00:11:11.727 --> 00:11:14.462
The poor guy's totally frazzled.
Go, go, go.

00:11:19.696 --> 00:11:22.032
OK, so that works.

00:11:22.057 --> 00:11:26.501
Zach, time left for them now is
measured in minutes rather than hours.

00:11:26.526 --> 00:11:29.621
Field house, there's a lot of points
on it where I've seen it go wrong.

00:11:29.646 --> 00:11:32.032
Like, "Oh, this is the first time
it's gone wrong!"

00:11:32.057 --> 00:11:35.782
And with minutes left, you know, will
they get a perfect run yet? I don't know.

00:11:35.807 --> 00:11:39.112
Meanwhile, over here,
the Bueno Brothers,

00:11:39.137 --> 00:11:41.472
things couldn't be more different,
the two builds.

00:11:41.497 --> 00:11:43.902
They're building to the last minute.
There's no full test run.

00:11:43.927 --> 00:11:46.621
It does have that cartoon quality.
It does.

00:11:46.646 --> 00:11:48.902
Go. just do it. Go now.

00:11:48.927 --> 00:11:51.421
Five minutes to go...

00:11:51.446 --> 00:11:53.515
OK. No, no, no, no, it's my bad.

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.621
Oh! Adam! No!

00:11:54.646 --> 00:11:57.032
...and the Field house catastrophe.

00:11:57.057 --> 00:12:00.501
Adam was walking past and he kicked
this, and it broke the switch.

00:12:00.526 --> 00:12:02.222
Completely snapped all of this up.

00:12:02.247 --> 00:12:05.902
It's all hands on deck to replace
the broken hairdryer switch.

00:12:05.927 --> 00:12:07.621
It's completely broken inside.

00:12:07.646 --> 00:12:09.142
It doesn't work at all.

00:12:09.167 --> 00:12:12.301
Bro, don't tell me that.
You're a liability, man!

00:12:12.326 --> 00:12:14.229
Other end. Put it where

00:12:14.253 --> 00:12:15.112
it's going to go. It's fine!

00:12:15.137 --> 00:12:16.942
I'll glue it on, then.

00:12:16.967 --> 00:12:20.551
Teams, you have 30 seconds left!

00:12:20.576 --> 00:12:23.942
Or you did have when I started making
this announcement. It's gone down now.

00:12:23.967 --> 00:12:26.501
Come on, come on, come on!
One test. Go. No, no. Go.

00:12:26.526 --> 00:12:29.392
Balance it on like that.
Ten, nine...

00:12:30.776 --> 00:12:32.421
...seven, six...

00:12:32.446 --> 00:12:35.501
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
come on! ..five, four, three...

00:12:35.526 --> 00:12:38.832
Come on! ..two, one, zero!

00:12:38.857 --> 00:12:42.392
Time's up. Tools down, get set.
Do the best you can.

00:12:42.417 --> 00:12:44.662
Remember, this is a test run,

00:12:44.687 --> 00:12:46.222
but we want it to work.

00:12:46.247 --> 00:12:49.192
Might work. Might work.
Probably not. Small chance.

00:12:49.217 --> 00:12:52.301
Testing first
are the Bueno Brothers.

00:12:52.326 --> 00:12:56.702
Have you done enough? Is that stage
one of a semifinal-worthy machine?

00:12:56.727 --> 00:12:59.832
I'll be honest, probably not,
but we've done our best.

00:12:59.857 --> 00:13:03.392
They're hoping a laundry basket
triggers Ruben's bow,

00:13:03.417 --> 00:13:05.702
releasing a spinning pool noodle,

00:13:05.727 --> 00:13:08.942
sending a boot into javi's book,
then drawer dominoes,

00:13:08.967 --> 00:13:12.862
sending a ball down Enrique's
dresser, on to my landing.

00:13:14.087 --> 00:13:16.712
You've worked hard.
There's the fruits of your lab our.

00:13:16.737 --> 00:13:18.992
Now show us if it works,
in your own time.

00:13:25.417 --> 00:13:26.782
Whoa-ho!

00:13:29.446 --> 00:13:31.431
Oh! Wow! That was...

00:13:31.456 --> 00:13:33.392
APPLAUSE
That was straight!

00:13:33.417 --> 00:13:35.712
It's quite quick, isn't it?

00:13:35.737 --> 00:13:38.352
He also got hit in the face with
a bow, I couldn't help but notice.

00:13:39.857 --> 00:13:42.192
The bow, like, projectiled itself
downwards,

00:13:42.217 --> 00:13:44.072
kind of smacked me in the face,
but it's fine!

00:13:44.097 --> 00:13:45.406
It was a little bonus.

00:13:45.530 --> 00:13:46.292
Yeah, a little bonus. Yeah.

00:13:46.417 --> 00:13:49.192
A little bonus? Bow-nus?

00:13:50.297 --> 00:13:53.192
Yeah, I'll do the bad puns,
thanks, Enrique.

00:13:53.217 --> 00:13:56.992
Anyway, nearly injuring Ruben
must be a peak Bueno moment.

00:13:57.017 --> 00:13:59.431
And the machine just kept on
punching.

00:13:59.456 --> 00:14:03.862
Complete with some intricacy
in Enrique's neatly-rigged dresser.

00:14:03.887 --> 00:14:06.792
What we were left with was actually
quite, you know, good,

00:14:06.817 --> 00:14:09.152
so we were fairly sure
that it was going to run.

00:14:09.177 --> 00:14:11.912
They're a very high calibre
of competition for us.

00:14:11.937 --> 00:14:14.222
So, can the fiddly Field house family

00:14:14.247 --> 00:14:17.511
reply with their own perfect
test run?

00:14:17.536 --> 00:14:19.912
There are some risky bits in there.
Mm-hm. Yeah.

00:14:19.937 --> 00:14:23.381
And it turns out there was another risk
charging around in your machine, as well.

00:14:23.406 --> 00:14:25.712
Yeah. So Adam decided,
with five minutes to go,

00:14:25.737 --> 00:14:27.712
to stamp all over our machine

00:14:27.737 --> 00:14:31.022
and brake our light switch
and bend some tracks.

00:14:31.047 --> 00:14:32.832
So we had to fix it
with five minutes to go.

00:14:32.857 --> 00:14:35.352
Right. So, you don't know
if it's going to work? No.

00:14:35.377 --> 00:14:38.712
They're hoping Adam's
remotely—triggered alarm clock

00:14:38.737 --> 00:14:41.022
starts his jug tip and ball run,

00:14:41.047 --> 00:14:43.482
triggering Damien's
spring-loaded book,

00:14:43.507 --> 00:14:45.992
sending a ball across Robin's
train track,

00:14:46.017 --> 00:14:48.352
over the repaired switch
for a hairdryer,

00:14:48.377 --> 00:14:51.842
that floats a ball that triggers
a train into the next room.

00:14:53.147 --> 00:14:55.431
Good luck. In your own time,
start your machine.

00:15:04.507 --> 00:15:06.232
It really is quite a cute machine.

00:15:16.507 --> 00:15:18.152
Just look at all the risk in there!

00:15:22.307 --> 00:15:26.122
Almost every step has an element
of risk. This is fantastic!

00:15:26.147 --> 00:15:28.592
The train's going.

00:15:29.977 --> 00:15:31.352
Chaps, well done!

00:15:31.377 --> 00:15:33.311
APPLAUSE
Really well done!

00:15:33.336 --> 00:15:36.232
That was pretty special.

00:15:36.257 --> 00:15:39.122
We had to pull that out of
the bag today. We got away with it.

00:15:39.147 --> 00:15:41.511
The Field houses outdid themselves,

00:15:41.536 --> 00:15:45.922
with alarm clock and hairdryer
release millimetre perfect,

00:15:45.947 --> 00:15:49.482
and the train wending its way
on to my landing.

00:15:49.507 --> 00:15:52.482
I really like the stark contrast

00:15:52.507 --> 00:15:54.842
between our machine
and their machine. Yeah, yeah.

00:15:54.867 --> 00:15:57.232
We've...we've...we've gone
like this.

00:15:57.257 --> 00:16:00.842
Obviously, we're going to be really biased now
and say obviously, the intricacies are better.

00:16:00.867 --> 00:16:02.561
It's up to Zach
at the end of the day, so...

00:16:02.586 --> 00:16:04.282
Yeah. ..we'll see what he decides.

00:16:04.307 --> 00:16:06.521
As day one ends, let's hope

00:16:06.545 --> 00:16:08.641
this family feud stays civil

00:16:08.666 --> 00:16:10.202
when it kicks off tomorrow.

00:16:16.797 --> 00:16:21.422
I love nothing more than reading
Victorian slang dictionaries in bed.

00:16:21.447 --> 00:16:24.672
Grog blossoms — pimples on the face.

00:16:26.137 --> 00:16:29.341
But that can compromise
my vital dusting work.

00:16:30.697 --> 00:16:33.952
Happily, my semifinalists
have started creating machines

00:16:33.977 --> 00:16:36.672
that should let me do both things
at once.

00:16:36.697 --> 00:16:39.141
And after perfect test
runs yesterday...

00:16:39.166 --> 00:16:41.752
Wow! That was straight!
Really well done. Get in!

00:16:41.777 --> 00:16:44.872
...they'll be desperate to outdo
each other today.

00:16:44.897 --> 00:16:47.672
Morning, teams.
That was a great first day.

00:16:47.697 --> 00:16:50.422
Two perfect runs
from two very different machines.

00:16:50.447 --> 00:16:55.192
One small and intricate,
the other so brutal and violent,

00:16:55.217 --> 00:16:57.521
it actually assaulted a team member.

00:16:57.546 --> 00:17:00.271
But we start afresh today
as you build across the landing.

00:17:00.296 --> 00:17:03.521
I would like you to incorporate
a specific scientific principle

00:17:03.546 --> 00:17:05.422
in today's phase of your build,

00:17:05.447 --> 00:17:08.391
and that principle is
Newton's law of gravity.

00:17:08.416 --> 00:17:11.341
You've got ten hours, teams.
Get building!

00:17:12.496 --> 00:17:14.062
Gravity schmavity.

00:17:14.087 --> 00:17:16.521
Anything with a mass
has a gravitational pull.

00:17:16.546 --> 00:17:18.312
And it just so happens
the Earth is massive,

00:17:18.337 --> 00:17:20.141
so it has a significant
gravitational pull.

00:17:20.166 --> 00:17:22.141
It's pretty obvious
something's going to fall.

00:17:22.166 --> 00:17:23.712
We want to drop
something kind of big.

00:17:23.737 --> 00:17:26.391
Nice, sort of... You know, slowly,
but we want to drop something.

00:17:26.416 --> 00:17:29.552
And then, once that drops,
we want to have a, um...

00:17:29.577 --> 00:17:31.962
Essentially, like, er...

00:17:31.987 --> 00:17:34.391
The main idea is to drop things
and make things go up and down.

00:17:34.416 --> 00:17:38.271
Both rivals are going for a classic
drop-something-heavy approach,

00:17:38.296 --> 00:17:40.351
but are they missing something?

00:17:40.376 --> 00:17:42.962
Here's Shini Somara
with a look at some of the ups,

00:17:42.987 --> 00:17:47.521
and perhaps more importantly, the
downs, of this scientific staple.

00:17:54.347 --> 00:17:56.682
I'm at the National
Physical Laboratory,

00:17:56.707 --> 00:17:59.712
and this is a descendant
of the very tree that's said

00:17:59.737 --> 00:18:04.471
to have inspired Sir Isaac Newton
to formulate the theory of gravity.

00:18:04.496 --> 00:18:07.632
Legend has it that just over
300 years ago,

00:18:07.657 --> 00:18:12.792
a falling apple made him
question why things fall downwards,

00:18:12.817 --> 00:18:15.912
instead of sideways,
or even upwards.

00:18:15.937 --> 00:18:18.762
What few people know is that
all objects with mass

00:18:18.787 --> 00:18:20.832
exert a gravitational pull.

00:18:20.857 --> 00:18:23.632
And that's what this set-up
is all about.

00:18:23.657 --> 00:18:28.322
We've got an aluminium bar
with tungsten carbide on each end,

00:18:28.347 --> 00:18:32.271
and it's oscillating slightly
because of air currents in the room

00:18:32.296 --> 00:18:34.632
and tension in the nylon thread.

00:18:34.657 --> 00:18:39.122
But when I move this extremely heavy

00:18:39.147 --> 00:18:42.481
set of lead weights into position,

00:18:42.506 --> 00:18:45.042
what you see in the demo speeded up

00:18:45.067 --> 00:18:48.792
is the tungsten being attracted
to the lead weights

00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:53.962
because of the gravitational pull
exerted from the lead's mass.

00:18:53.987 --> 00:18:58.351
Guys? Proof of concept is not
representative of the final product, but...

00:18:58.376 --> 00:19:00.682
javi's in charge of gravity.

00:19:00.707 --> 00:19:03.242
Perhaps he's embracing
the gravitational attraction

00:19:03.267 --> 00:19:07.552
between lightweight tungsten carbide
and a heavy lead weight.

00:19:09.267 --> 00:19:12.122
Well, you get the idea.
I really don't. I actually don't.

00:19:12.147 --> 00:19:13.992
That is terrible. No. No.

00:19:14.017 --> 00:19:17.122
He's smashing some wood in a basket
with an old wheel.

00:19:17.147 --> 00:19:20.992
In the end, he plans to drop
a weight on to a seesaw

00:19:21.017 --> 00:19:24.271
made from a chopped-up dresser
that'll make a big duck fly,

00:19:24.296 --> 00:19:26.151
and then, thanks to gravity,

00:19:26.176 --> 00:19:28.122
fall back down in the next room.

00:19:28.147 --> 00:19:29.762
Classic Bueno.

00:19:33.017 --> 00:19:34.842
Ooh! Back flip!

00:19:34.867 --> 00:19:36.632
Javi's back in his comfort zone.

00:19:36.657 --> 00:19:39.432
Pew—pew! Pew—pew!
And seems happier than yesterday.

00:19:39.457 --> 00:19:41.322
He's a child, he is.

00:19:41.347 --> 00:19:43.842
And I don't want him to be
any other way.

00:19:43.867 --> 00:19:45.151
Ooh, careful!

00:19:45.176 --> 00:19:48.122
The apple is going to be triggered,
it's going to be released from the tree.

00:19:48.147 --> 00:19:49.992
The apple's going to fall down.

00:19:50.017 --> 00:19:52.842
The award for
Most Literal Use of Gravity

00:19:52.867 --> 00:19:55.231
goes to the Field house Brothers.

00:19:55.256 --> 00:19:58.322
This, here, although it looks like
a bucket,

00:19:58.347 --> 00:20:00.072
is actually Isaac Newton.

00:20:00.097 --> 00:20:02.712
The apple will fall on to
Isaac Newton

00:20:02.737 --> 00:20:04.682
sitting in an upside-down umbrella,

00:20:04.707 --> 00:20:07.762
which will collapse
and trigger a chain fountain,

00:20:07.787 --> 00:20:10.792
sending a bike wheel
rotating around a pivot.

00:20:10.817 --> 00:20:13.281
Why have you got a wheel in
your hand?! This is going to be...

00:20:14.587 --> 00:20:18.611
...the more important scientific
principle of gyroscopic precession.

00:20:18.636 --> 00:20:20.922
That's right, physics buffs,

00:20:20.947 --> 00:20:23.322
the phenomenon where the forces of
a spinning thing

00:20:23.347 --> 00:20:25.762
make it move from side to side.

00:20:25.787 --> 00:20:28.072
OK, so that comes out...
CLANG!

00:20:28.097 --> 00:20:30.401
When that bit works, sort of...

00:20:30.426 --> 00:20:32.682
That's a backup gravity option.
Carry on.

00:20:33.897 --> 00:20:35.842
I can confirm the axe is sharp.

00:20:37.867 --> 00:20:41.611
There you go. Teams?
Two hours have gone by.

00:20:41.636 --> 00:20:45.332
After matching each other
with perfect tests yesterday...

00:20:45.357 --> 00:20:47.002
We're getting there, aren't we?

00:20:47.027 --> 00:20:50.872
...the rivals now seem to be playing
each other at their own games to get ahead.

00:20:50.897 --> 00:20:52.562
Pull again.

00:20:52.587 --> 00:20:55.872
And Damien's creating a dramatic
Bueno-esque crossbow

00:20:55.897 --> 00:20:58.401
made from a guitar.

00:20:58.426 --> 00:21:01.361
We've...we've got bit intimidated

00:21:01.386 --> 00:21:05.082
and we're...we're having to go large
because of them.

00:21:12.107 --> 00:21:13.231
It's looking good.

00:21:13.256 --> 00:21:14.642
Nice! P0w— pow— pow— pow— pow!

00:21:14.667 --> 00:21:16.082
Oh, my God!

00:21:16.107 --> 00:21:17.522
But get your PPE ready,

00:21:17.547 --> 00:21:20.611
because Ruben's working on
a clever, so-called

00:21:20.636 --> 00:21:23.082
elephant's toothpaste
chemical reaction.

00:21:23.107 --> 00:21:24.611
I know.

00:21:24.636 --> 00:21:27.972
I was expecting a big kaboom. I was
expecting a big kaboom, as well.

00:21:27.997 --> 00:21:30.411
OK, so, how do we get it to make
a bigger kaboom?

00:21:30.436 --> 00:21:34.411
Their new plan is to start
with Enrique's football,

00:21:34.436 --> 00:21:37.202
that tips a cocktail shaker
that fills a cup,

00:21:37.227 --> 00:21:39.522
causing a pulley to tip a bar stool,

00:21:39.547 --> 00:21:42.361
pulling a string that tips a jug
to mix the chemicals,

00:21:42.386 --> 00:21:45.692
that overflow from a traffic cone,
releasing pool *

00:21:45.717 --> 00:21:48.522
that drop a bucket
that starts another pulley,

00:21:48.547 --> 00:21:52.882
finally triggering
javi's gravity stage. Phew!

00:21:54.227 --> 00:21:55.922
That's not a lot
that you're putting in.

00:21:55.947 --> 00:21:56.787
Of this? Yeah. I know, but it

00:21:56.974 --> 00:21:58.474
doesn't actually need that much.

00:21:58.547 --> 00:22:02.882
When hydrogen peroxide
mixes with potassium iodide...

00:22:02.907 --> 00:22:04.212
Oh, there it is!

00:22:04.237 --> 00:22:06.562
...the elephant's toothpaste
is created,

00:22:06.587 --> 00:22:09.902
which should release two pool *
as it soaks through the tissue.

00:22:09.927 --> 00:22:12.212
Ah! It just looks like
one giant zit now.

00:22:13.516 --> 00:22:17.161
Ruben is using tape to stop
his * dropping too soon.

00:22:20.467 --> 00:22:23.082
You know what the best part is?
That it's probably very reliable.

00:22:23.107 --> 00:22:25.522
But nervous Javi can't help
but interfere.

00:22:25.547 --> 00:22:28.161
Maybe don't use paper.
There's no... It does not...

00:22:28.186 --> 00:22:29.932
So instead...
Maybe just put, like...

00:22:29.957 --> 00:22:33.291
just take duct tape and put it like
this and, like, suspend the ball.

00:22:33.316 --> 00:22:36.212
Javi? Those papers...
No, no, no, no.

00:22:36.237 --> 00:22:38.802
Let him...let him do his process
and you do yours.

00:22:38.827 --> 00:22:41.132
I am, but, like...
No. No, you're not.

00:22:41.157 --> 00:22:42.602
You're micromanaging.

00:22:42.627 --> 00:22:45.722
Now, the moral here? Don't mess
with your brother's *.

00:22:47.077 --> 00:22:49.082
Bueno Brothers, hello. Hello.

00:22:49.107 --> 00:22:51.522
It looks like you're all working
on separate modules

00:22:51.547 --> 00:22:53.212
full of lovely transitions. Are you?

00:22:53.237 --> 00:22:55.161
Yeah, that's exactly it, yeah.
That's the plan.

00:22:55.186 --> 00:22:57.491
You are going to need to
connect them together. Yes.

00:22:57.516 --> 00:22:59.291
Have you worked that out?

00:22:59.316 --> 00:23:00.572
Pretty much. 50/50.

00:23:01.797 --> 00:23:03.722
Less than two hours remaining,

00:23:03.747 --> 00:23:06.052
and the pressure's getting
to Damien, too.

00:23:06.077 --> 00:23:07.052
There are some lines there.

00:23:07.077 --> 00:23:09.442
There are some lines to your right
a little bit, there.

00:23:09.467 --> 00:23:11.212
There?! Yeah. There?!

00:23:11.237 --> 00:23:15.052
He's struggling to steer a toy car
toward the guitar crossbow.

00:23:15.077 --> 00:23:16.692
It's going to hit the mallet.

00:23:16.717 --> 00:23:18.732
That's way off, Damien.
Why did you put it there?

00:23:18.757 --> 00:23:20.241
It...

00:23:20.266 --> 00:23:21.692
Why did you put it there?

00:23:21.717 --> 00:23:25.132
Once it's aimed correctly,
the car should hit a lever,

00:23:25.157 --> 00:23:27.652
releasing Damien's guitar crossbow,

00:23:27.677 --> 00:23:30.132
which hits a trouser press that will
slowly open,

00:23:30.157 --> 00:23:34.212
pulling a string that triggers
Adam's Newton's apple umbrella,

00:23:34.237 --> 00:23:37.161
blazer, chain fountain
and bike wheel,

00:23:37.186 --> 00:23:38.802
that breaks a web of rulers,

00:23:38.827 --> 00:23:41.212
opening Robin's record player
cabinet doors,

00:23:41.237 --> 00:23:43.732
that knock a plant
into the next room.

00:23:43.757 --> 00:23:45.132
WQW!

00:23:45.157 --> 00:23:48.291
You seem to have scaled up a bit
today. Oh, yeah. We've gone big.

00:23:48.316 --> 00:23:50.652
Is that taking you out of
your comfort zone a little bit?

00:23:50.677 --> 00:23:53.291
We've kept the technicality,
but I think we've gone big, as well.

00:23:53.316 --> 00:23:54.799
You've been
working on that. Yeah.

00:23:54.823 --> 00:23:55.772
Has he done anything else?

00:23:55.797 --> 00:23:57.732
I spent ten minutes... Not much.
Not really. No.

00:23:57.757 --> 00:23:59.092
My bits...my bits work.

00:23:59.117 --> 00:24:00.962
My bits work, as well.
And my bits work.

00:24:00.987 --> 00:24:02.522
Team, um...crack on.

00:24:02.547 --> 00:24:04.452
Half an hour left.

00:24:04.477 --> 00:24:07.212
This could go either way.

00:24:07.237 --> 00:24:10.732
Zach, I'd say the Bueno Brothers are now
each taking a module and focusing on that.

00:24:10.757 --> 00:24:13.421
Absolutely. I'm super impressed
with what they've done.

00:24:13.446 --> 00:24:15.322
I really love the bigger steps.

00:24:15.347 --> 00:24:18.732
I think one of the biggest issues with
them is I think they're starting to panic

00:24:18.757 --> 00:24:22.062
and getting hung up on some minor
details, and it's slowing them down.

00:24:22.087 --> 00:24:23.358
Yeah, but I like a bit of

00:24:23.382 --> 00:24:24.652
last-minute panic.
I know you do.

00:24:24.677 --> 00:24:27.171
They've built a stylish, fun
machine. It looks crazy.

00:24:27.196 --> 00:24:29.062
It really does,
and I really love it.

00:24:29.087 --> 00:24:31.732
But over here,
the Field house boys... Oh!

00:24:31.757 --> 00:24:35.602
...they've got, once again, a very
different atmosphere going on.

00:24:35.627 --> 00:24:38.932
It is a completely different
atmosphere.

00:24:38.957 --> 00:24:40.572
They are methodic.

00:24:40.597 --> 00:24:42.932
Look at them!
They're solving a problem together.

00:24:42.957 --> 00:24:45.732
These guys are a very strong team.
They are a strong team.

00:24:45.757 --> 00:24:50.212
There's still something I love about
the chaotic approach of these guys.

00:24:50.237 --> 00:24:51.682
I want to see that work.

00:24:53.807 --> 00:24:56.732
It's going without the ball,
but I guess it's just the angle...

00:24:56.757 --> 00:24:59.012
No, it's good, it's good.
We're OK now.

00:25:00.887 --> 00:25:03.332
Everything happened, apart from
the blazer not falling off.

00:25:03.357 --> 00:25:07.142
Teams? 15 minutes.
Drill. Go, go, go, go!

00:25:07.167 --> 00:25:09.501
15 minutes until I want you
to get set for a test run

00:25:09.526 --> 00:25:11.732
of stage two of your machines.

00:25:13.607 --> 00:25:15.251
With time almost up...

00:25:15.276 --> 00:25:17.142
Why would you use that string?

00:25:17.167 --> 00:25:19.532
No, the string was fine.
No, the string snapped.

00:25:19.557 --> 00:25:22.332
...Enrique needs to replace
his cocktail shaker string,

00:25:22.357 --> 00:25:24.652
and Ruben's got issues
with his loo roll.

00:25:24.677 --> 00:25:26.251
It seems to come off too easily.

00:25:26.276 --> 00:25:28.972
So I'm gonna try to put two layers
and see that it works.

00:25:28.997 --> 00:25:31.301
Don't worry about my bit,
worry about yours.

00:25:31.326 --> 00:25:33.612
Teams? Teams!

00:25:33.637 --> 00:25:36.582
Um, one minute,
one minute remaining. One minute.

00:25:36.607 --> 00:25:38.532
Just a minute.

00:25:38.557 --> 00:25:41.421
Adam's brolly needs a last-minute
fix too.

00:25:41.446 --> 00:25:43.972
OK, get it in now! Put it in!

00:25:43.997 --> 00:25:45.421
Why's it always Adam's bit?!

00:25:45.446 --> 00:25:48.371
15, 15 seconds.

00:25:48.396 --> 00:25:50.692
These last-ditch tweaks
could be the difference

00:25:50.717 --> 00:25:52.582
between reaching the final...

00:25:52.607 --> 00:25:55.532
This is definitely made to dissolve.
..and going home.

00:25:55.557 --> 00:25:58.062
A lot better
than the dodgy duct tape solution.

00:26:00.357 --> 00:26:01.732
Don't breathe. Six!

00:26:01.757 --> 00:26:04.142
I mean, except the fact that none
of that worked. Five, four...

00:26:04.167 --> 00:26:07.171
Five seconds to spare!
..three, two, one,

00:26:07.196 --> 00:26:09.142
build time is over!

00:26:09.167 --> 00:26:12.942
Assemble the best you can and get it
set as much as you can

00:26:12.967 --> 00:26:14.532
for a run through of stage two

00:26:14.557 --> 00:26:16.892
of your chain reaction machines,
please.

00:26:16.917 --> 00:26:21.612
The Bueno Brothers are testing
their landing machine first.

00:26:21.637 --> 00:26:24.222
There was a point today
when you looked to be working

00:26:24.247 --> 00:26:29.501
in a calm, orderly, organised
fashion, and then the usual

00:26:29.526 --> 00:26:31.462
chaos came back. Well, all good
things

00:26:31.487 --> 00:26:33.301
have to come to an end, I guess.
Yeah.

00:26:33.326 --> 00:26:37.222
They're hoping Enrique's football
wedge will trigger a cocktail shaker

00:26:37.247 --> 00:26:39.501
to fill a cup that drops a weight,

00:26:39.526 --> 00:26:41.822
tipping a bar stool that mixes

00:26:41.847 --> 00:26:43.862
Ruben's elephant toothpaste
reaction,

00:26:43.887 --> 00:26:46.171
soaking some paper that should
set off

00:26:46.196 --> 00:26:48.412
javi's lethal gravity stage.

00:26:49.437 --> 00:26:50.942
Zach?

00:26:50.967 --> 00:26:54.582
Oh, there's a lot of dodgy elements
in there, and it's not tested,

00:26:54.607 --> 00:26:56.142
so I have no idea.

00:26:56.167 --> 00:26:58.822
In your own time... Thank you.
..start your machine.

00:26:58.847 --> 00:27:00.692
Right, bro. You got this, bro.

00:27:02.047 --> 00:27:03.142
Please work.

00:27:06.917 --> 00:27:09.181
The elephant's toothpaste is mixing.

00:27:09.206 --> 00:27:10.412
It's just the water.

00:27:10.437 --> 00:27:12.251
It tilts over. There it goes.

00:27:13.607 --> 00:27:15.181
Oh, that is so cool, though.

00:27:15.206 --> 00:27:17.152
Yeah, that's cool.

00:27:17.177 --> 00:27:18.822
It just needs to soak through

00:27:18.847 --> 00:27:20.582
the paper to free Ruben's *.

00:27:20.607 --> 00:27:22.902
That's going to break
that toilet paper.

00:27:22.927 --> 00:27:24.152
If it doesn't break the paper,

00:27:24.177 --> 00:27:26.511
I'll be annoyed cos I've tested it
so many times.

00:27:26.536 --> 00:27:28.102
I used some extra time
to hold it in.

00:27:28.127 --> 00:27:30.022
I think it might have been too much.

00:27:30.047 --> 00:27:31.942
How much tape did you use?

00:27:31.967 --> 00:27:33.511
Find a poky stick.

00:27:36.487 --> 00:27:38.692
What did you make it out of?!

00:27:41.717 --> 00:27:44.381
Into the next room! We did it...!

00:27:44.406 --> 00:27:48.022
OK, look, there was a slight
interruption. It can be fixed.

00:27:48.047 --> 00:27:50.622
I think I just need to lay off
on the tape.

00:27:50.647 --> 00:27:54.592
The overly resilient tape
on Ruben's * was a blot

00:27:54.617 --> 00:27:57.381
on an otherwise successful run.

00:27:57.406 --> 00:28:02.181
And after Enrique's intervention,
the bucket, axe and wheel combo

00:28:02.206 --> 00:28:04.772
flung the duck into the next room.

00:28:04.797 --> 00:28:08.232
On the one hand, it's calming
because it's like, I know it works,

00:28:08.257 --> 00:28:10.592
but on the other hand it's
incredibly infuriating

00:28:10.617 --> 00:28:12.982
because it's like they SHOULD have
worked... COULD have worked.

00:28:13.007 --> 00:28:15.342
...but I messed it up.
I mean, like we messed it up.

00:28:15.367 --> 00:28:18.181
It was a very simple step for them
to rectify, isn't it?

00:28:18.206 --> 00:28:19.822
Just a little bit less tape.

00:28:19.847 --> 00:28:22.872
Now the Field house Brothers.

00:28:22.897 --> 00:28:27.232
You have scaled it up and
it has your trademark complexity

00:28:27.257 --> 00:28:28.702
and maybe even sophistication.

00:28:28.727 --> 00:28:31.672
We're a bit out of our comfort zone
today cos we've tried to scale

00:28:31.697 --> 00:28:34.022
it up and also
keep the technical stuff.

00:28:34.047 --> 00:28:36.422
So this is the first time
we've tried to do that.

00:28:36.447 --> 00:28:38.702
They want the bedroom's train

00:28:38.727 --> 00:28:41.032
to send a toy car into a mallet,

00:28:41.057 --> 00:28:43.902
triggering Damien's
Bueno-baiting crossbow,

00:28:43.927 --> 00:28:45.542
collapsing a trouser press

00:28:45.567 --> 00:28:47.822
that sets off Adam's gravity stage

00:28:47.847 --> 00:28:48.902
and spinning wheel,

00:28:48.927 --> 00:28:50.622
collapsing a web of rulers,

00:28:50.647 --> 00:28:52.902
switching on Robin's record player

00:28:52.927 --> 00:28:54.872
that winds open its cabinet doors,

00:28:54.897 --> 00:28:56.952
knocking a plant into my lounge.

00:28:56.977 --> 00:29:00.542
This machine checks every box for me
except for the final one —

00:29:00.567 --> 00:29:03.152
will it work? In your own time,
start your machine.

00:29:05.086 --> 00:29:07.391
It's good.

00:29:07.416 --> 00:29:08.872
Ooh, yeah.

00:29:08.897 --> 00:29:11.156
It's so small, but so cute!

00:29:12.911 --> 00:29:14.886
Will this work? It's working!

00:29:14.911 --> 00:29:16.656
Go on, sunshine.

00:29:16.681 --> 00:29:18.045
Gyroscopic...

00:29:19.241 --> 00:29:20.806
Rulers...

00:29:20.831 --> 00:29:22.686
Now it's just Robin's bit...

00:29:22.711 --> 00:29:24.216
Oh, it's opening! Suspense.

00:29:24.241 --> 00:29:25.886
Yeah. Oh, it's a slow bit.

00:29:27.520 --> 00:29:30.045
A really nice chess piece there

00:29:30.070 --> 00:29:31.526
on the inside. That's cool.

00:29:32.791 --> 00:29:34.326
Oh, out the door.

00:29:34.351 --> 00:29:35.856
Yes!

00:29:35.881 --> 00:29:38.526
Come on! Wow!

00:29:38.551 --> 00:29:41.295
That is, yeah, classy.
That's classy. Well done.

00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:42.936
Really relieved that works!

00:29:44.631 --> 00:29:46.656
They've pulled it off.

00:29:46.681 --> 00:29:48.526
What a machine!

00:29:48.551 --> 00:29:52.936
I think it appears to be a lot
more reliable than it actually is.

00:29:52.961 --> 00:29:55.766
But will they be able to keep it up
when Zach judges

00:29:55.791 --> 00:29:58.495
the all—important full runs
tomorrow?

00:29:58.520 --> 00:30:00.856
You know, somebody gets lucky
on the day.

00:30:00.881 --> 00:30:03.495
There's a very high chance that
that's just what's going to push it.

00:30:03.520 --> 00:30:04.736
I can't wait!

00:30:09.320 --> 00:30:11.606
Today's the big one

00:30:11.631 --> 00:30:14.115
because, in ten hours,
Zach will send either

00:30:14.140 --> 00:30:17.476
the Field house or Bueno Brothers
through to the final.

00:30:17.501 --> 00:30:20.686
But before then, each team
needs to create a machine

00:30:20.711 --> 00:30:22.606
that dusts my vase in the study,

00:30:22.631 --> 00:30:25.476
join it to their bedroom
and landing machines,

00:30:25.501 --> 00:30:28.556
then run it
as one crazy contraption.

00:30:28.581 --> 00:30:32.886
With so much at stake, they really
don't need any complications.

00:30:33.861 --> 00:30:36.245
Morning, teams.
Here is a complication.

00:30:36.270 --> 00:30:38.966
In your workshops, you'll find
a mystery object that you must

00:30:38.991 --> 00:30:40.656
incorporate into today's build.

00:30:40.681 --> 00:30:45.016
Where and how you use it
is up to you. But use it you must.

00:30:45.041 --> 00:30:46.086
Let's go.

00:30:47.791 --> 00:30:49.766
I wonder what it could be.

00:30:50.961 --> 00:30:52.446
It's right there.

00:30:52.471 --> 00:30:53.686
Is this our mystery object?

00:30:53.711 --> 00:30:56.556
Well, it's got a bow on it,
and I didn't put a bow on it.

00:30:56.581 --> 00:31:00.045
Zac's expecting some out—of—the—box
ideas from the rivals.

00:31:00.070 --> 00:31:03.656
Right, if it's on,
it's creating a vacuum.

00:31:04.991 --> 00:31:07.326
So it can be holding something.
It could also blow.

00:31:07.351 --> 00:31:09.295
We could blow stuff out
of the air vent as well. Yeah.

00:31:09.320 --> 00:31:11.915
So what else CAN you do
with a vacuum cleaner?

00:31:17.961 --> 00:31:21.125
I'm at one end of an industrial
wind tunnel —

00:31:21.150 --> 00:31:22.886
the suction end.

00:31:22.911 --> 00:31:27.456
And through the tunnel is a fan,
specifically designed to * air in

00:31:27.481 --> 00:31:29.766
and blow air out through the back.

00:31:29.791 --> 00:31:32.406
And that's exactly what happens
in a vacuum cleaner.

00:31:33.761 --> 00:31:36.566
The team could actually use
the air that's blown out

00:31:36.591 --> 00:31:38.245
to maybe inflate something.

00:31:41.911 --> 00:31:43.245
Pretty good.

00:31:44.431 --> 00:31:48.175
But they can also use the suction to
maybe lift objects up.

00:31:50.561 --> 00:31:53.016
And the teams could work out
how to...

00:31:54.481 --> 00:31:56.286
...by switching off the vacuum
cleaner...

00:31:57.711 --> 00:31:59.966
...release an object.

00:31:59.991 --> 00:32:01.295
Brilliant.

00:32:01.320 --> 00:32:03.656
I must tell my housekeeper
what they've been missing out on.

00:32:05.591 --> 00:32:08.566
Adam's excited
by how well the vacuum blows.

00:32:08.591 --> 00:32:09.966
Yeah.

00:32:12.231 --> 00:32:14.175
Looks like Enrique is excited too...

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:15.566
OK? Yeah.

00:32:15.601 --> 00:32:19.026
He plans to switch on the vacuum
with a ball blocking its nozzle,

00:32:19.151 --> 00:32:21.486
causing its tube to stand proud

00:32:21.511 --> 00:32:23.816
until it automatically
switches off,

00:32:23.841 --> 00:32:25.646
releasing the ball down a funnel.

00:32:26.950 --> 00:32:28.456
How do you turn it off?

00:32:28.481 --> 00:32:30.925
It turns out, when you block it,
when you block it,

00:32:30.950 --> 00:32:34.256
after 30 seconds,
which we discovered by accident. Ah!

00:32:34.471 --> 00:32:35.975
Lunchtime, that's going.

00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:39.905
Damien may have vacuum envy,
but Adam's too busy to notice.

00:32:39.930 --> 00:32:43.216
He's planning to dust my vase
by blowing air at it.

00:32:44.550 --> 00:32:46.855
See if you can feel anything. Ready?

00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:48.806
Go for it.

00:32:48.831 --> 00:32:50.266
Hello!

00:32:50.291 --> 00:32:51.446
Yes!

00:32:52.550 --> 00:32:54.446
He wants the vacuum's binbag

00:32:54.471 --> 00:32:57.296
to pull a plug from the bin
as it inflates.

00:32:57.321 --> 00:33:00.266
Then a diaphragm at the back
will be twanged,

00:33:00.291 --> 00:33:03.216
firing out a puff of air
to dust my vase.

00:33:03.241 --> 00:33:07.136
He also appears to have created
an ultrasonic weapon.

00:33:09.041 --> 00:33:11.376
Oh, that's squeaky! Awful sound.

00:33:13.961 --> 00:33:17.296
You have officially outdone
yourselves

00:33:17.321 --> 00:33:19.626
in annoyingness from the last time.

00:33:19.651 --> 00:33:24.626
Both teams are trying to outdo each
other, working at breakneck speed.

00:33:24.651 --> 00:33:27.346
There is a lot of pressure
riding on today.

00:33:27.371 --> 00:33:31.735
We have to make sure that we can get
everything done early so we can test

00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:34.985
all the other rooms.
And the strain's showing

00:33:35.010 --> 00:33:36.626
on big brother Damien

00:33:36.651 --> 00:33:39.166
as he's trying to control
their boldest,

00:33:39.191 --> 00:33:40.985
most bueno—baiting stunt yet —

00:33:41.010 --> 00:33:42.525
a falling sofa.

00:33:44.841 --> 00:33:47.576
Cor. Doesn't want to get
through the carpet.

00:33:48.760 --> 00:33:50.706
I've not had a good day so far.

00:33:50.731 --> 00:33:54.296
Yeah, I've been wasting a bit
too much time trying to position

00:33:54.321 --> 00:33:57.735
that sofa. I really would have liked
to have been a bit further

00:33:57.760 --> 00:34:01.376
ahead right now.
So, yeah, I'm a bit stressed out.

00:34:01.401 --> 00:34:05.096
The last thing he needs is Javi
taking him on head-to-head.

00:34:05.121 --> 00:34:07.785
All right, careful. I want to
hopefully drop a piano, so just,

00:34:07.810 --> 00:34:09.246
yeah.

00:34:09.271 --> 00:34:12.216
On the plus side,
Damien may be stressed...

00:34:12.241 --> 00:34:13.785
All right, piano. Here we go.

00:34:16.651 --> 00:34:20.216
...but he's not so burnt out
that he's calling his sofa...

00:34:20.241 --> 00:34:22.216
The piano dropped. ..a piano.

00:34:23.560 --> 00:34:26.216
Sorry. You're right.
It's not a piano. It's a thing.

00:34:26.241 --> 00:34:30.146
Javi wants the THING to fall
into a grandfather clock,

00:34:30.171 --> 00:34:32.985
pulling a string that turns on
Enrique's nozzle,

00:34:33.010 --> 00:34:35.256
eventually releasing the ball,

00:34:35.281 --> 00:34:36.706
dropping the weight,

00:34:36.731 --> 00:34:38.426
switching on a leaf blower

00:34:38.451 --> 00:34:40.706
that terrifyingly spins the wig

00:34:40.731 --> 00:34:42.016
of a mannequin's head

00:34:42.041 --> 00:34:43.735
to dust my vase.

00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:45.506
Andrew, what time is it?

00:34:46.601 --> 00:34:48.146
Haven't you got a clock?

00:34:48.171 --> 00:34:49.762
Both teams are returning to what

00:34:49.786 --> 00:34:51.376
they know best... We can play.

00:34:51.401 --> 00:34:54.226
...which, for Damien, is something
fiddly with a battery,

00:34:54.251 --> 00:34:56.296
some magnets and a copper coil.

00:34:56.321 --> 00:34:58.985
So basically they're permanent
magnets,

00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:01.615
magnetic field repels
the magnetic field

00:35:01.640 --> 00:35:03.346
generated in the copper coils,

00:35:03.371 --> 00:35:05.706
which allows this to accelerate

00:35:05.731 --> 00:35:07.735
through the tube.

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.226
There we go.

00:35:09.251 --> 00:35:11.506
The final plan will see a candle

00:35:11.531 --> 00:35:13.016
set off a Jacob's ladder,

00:35:13.041 --> 00:35:14.865
switching on the vacuum.

00:35:14.890 --> 00:35:17.456
This releases the air cannons bung

00:35:17.481 --> 00:35:19.376
and pulls a chalice that nudges

00:35:19.401 --> 00:35:21.655
the battery into the copper coil,

00:35:21.680 --> 00:35:22.735
which then accelerates

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:24.226
out the other end,

00:35:24.251 --> 00:35:26.096
hitting some scissors that cut

00:35:26.121 --> 00:35:28.066
the string holding the sofa, which,
as it falls,

00:35:28.091 --> 00:35:30.785
triggers the smoke cannon
to dust my vase.

00:35:31.890 --> 00:35:34.590
This is the most risky part

00:35:34.614 --> 00:35:35.506
of the room so
far. Yeah. For sure.

00:35:35.531 --> 00:35:39.985
With study machines built,
the teams seem neck and neck to me.

00:35:40.010 --> 00:35:42.615
Perhaps the maestro sees it
differently.

00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:45.896
In less than an hour, we will know
which of these two teams

00:35:45.921 --> 00:35:47.096
heads to the final.

00:35:47.121 --> 00:35:49.506
I think they are on a level
playing field right now.

00:35:49.531 --> 00:35:52.386
But you know what?
I also still think that the Buenos,

00:35:52.411 --> 00:35:55.946
they're doing full test runs and
they are still missing little things

00:35:55.971 --> 00:35:57.735
here and there that I've spotted.

00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:59.426
And yet, I also look at the
Field house,

00:35:59.451 --> 00:36:00.985
where they are still only
in room one

00:36:01.010 --> 00:36:02.816
and testing
all those little fiddly bits

00:36:02.841 --> 00:36:05.176
and finding out, hey, it's not
as reliable,

00:36:05.201 --> 00:36:08.066
and they have not made it
to room two yet, to test.

00:36:08.091 --> 00:36:10.386
It is literally
all to play for right now,

00:36:10.411 --> 00:36:11.946
so let them get on with it.

00:36:11.971 --> 00:36:13.865
Oh, are you all right with that?

00:36:13.890 --> 00:36:18.226
I need your help.
Quick, please. I can't drop...

00:36:18.251 --> 00:36:20.896
Teams, five minutes left.

00:36:23.001 --> 00:36:26.466
There's a place in the final
at stake for one of you.

00:36:26.491 --> 00:36:30.146
The margins between triumph
and catastrophe are minute.

00:36:30.171 --> 00:36:32.106
Can we do one more test?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:36:32.131 --> 00:36:33.785
Leave that for a sec.
Go, go, go.

00:36:33.810 --> 00:36:35.615
Two minutes! Two minutes!

00:36:35.640 --> 00:36:37.976
Both teams are finding issues.

00:36:38.001 --> 00:36:41.226
The smoke machine didn't turn on. The smoke
machine didn't come on for some reason.

00:36:42.451 --> 00:36:43.716
Why's that not attached?

00:36:43.741 --> 00:36:46.026
I'm tense, and I haven't
built anything!

00:36:46.051 --> 00:36:48.336
I just hope my vase gets dusted!

00:36:48.361 --> 00:36:51.745
Just need to set it perfectly.
OK, set it, set it, set it.

00:36:51.770 --> 00:36:54.186
30 seconds of build time left.
That's it.

00:36:55.820 --> 00:36:57.106
Go, go. Turn it off.

00:36:57.131 --> 00:36:59.665
Let go. Turn it off.
Oh, this is going to be good.

00:36:59.690 --> 00:37:01.106
Anything major,

00:37:01.131 --> 00:37:02.615
it is too late now.

00:37:02.640 --> 00:37:07.026
Five, four, three, two, one.

00:37:07.051 --> 00:37:08.545
Teams, stop!

00:37:08.570 --> 00:37:10.826
End of building, tools down.

00:37:10.851 --> 00:37:12.545
They've given everything,

00:37:12.570 --> 00:37:15.336
but which team has done enough
to reach the final?

00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:23.946
After three days
of intense sibling rivalry...

00:37:23.971 --> 00:37:27.226
You have officially outdone
yourselves.

00:37:27.251 --> 00:37:30.865
...the Field house and Bueno Brothers
are going to run their vase—dusting

00:37:30.890 --> 00:37:34.735
chain reaction machines
in full for the first time.

00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:36.506
Go big or go home.

00:37:36.531 --> 00:37:41.415
Hello! judge Zach will decide which
team makes it to the final...

00:37:45.411 --> 00:37:48.776
...based on the creativity
and complexity of each machine...

00:37:50.001 --> 00:37:51.896
Oooh! Well, that bit works!

00:37:51.921 --> 00:37:53.665
Sort of! ..and whether or not

00:37:53.690 --> 00:37:56.896
they can run without
human intervention once started.

00:37:56.921 --> 00:37:58.865
It's also on fire.

00:37:58.890 --> 00:38:03.816
Bueno Brothers, I don't need to
remind you what's at stake here.

00:38:03.841 --> 00:38:08.226
This is a tense and weirdly sombre
moment, somewhat undermined

00:38:08.251 --> 00:38:11.056
by the fact that your brother
has a shopping basket on his head.

00:38:11.081 --> 00:38:12.696
Yes. Safety first.

00:38:12.721 --> 00:38:14.586
In my study, they want a sofa

00:38:14.611 --> 00:38:16.535
to smash a clock to the floor,

00:38:16.560 --> 00:38:18.306
switching on the vacuum cleaner

00:38:18.331 --> 00:38:20.026
that triggers a leaf blower

00:38:20.051 --> 00:38:22.336
to rotate a wig on a head

00:38:22.361 --> 00:38:23.776
that dusts my vase.

00:38:23.801 --> 00:38:25.256
But it'll only get this far

00:38:25.281 --> 00:38:28.256
if their bedroom and hallway
machines work first.

00:38:29.491 --> 00:38:32.256
Look, I'm predicting total chaos,
but I'm hoping

00:38:32.281 --> 00:38:34.648
they perfected that
chaos. We're not

00:38:34.672 --> 00:38:35.586
going to put this
off any longer.

00:38:35.611 --> 00:38:39.466
We wish you all the very, very best
with a complete run of your machines

00:38:39.491 --> 00:38:42.186
start to finish.
In your own time, begin.

00:38:44.611 --> 00:38:46.415
Off you go, bro.

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:47.506
Do it.

00:39:02.161 --> 00:39:03.976
We're waiting for the reaction now.

00:39:04.001 --> 00:39:05.776
This takes time.

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:09.466
That's quite... That's hopeful.

00:39:09.491 --> 00:39:11.056
REALLY reactive today.

00:39:12.210 --> 00:39:13.704
This pause kills me.

00:39:13.729 --> 00:39:14.704
Mm-hm.

00:39:28.370 --> 00:39:30.265
It all depends on this.

00:39:30.290 --> 00:39:31.624
It could actually do it.

00:39:31.649 --> 00:39:33.425
Come on, do it.

00:39:33.450 --> 00:39:34.735
Come on!

00:39:37.370 --> 00:39:39.225
Do it. Come on.

00:39:39.250 --> 00:39:40.425
This is it.

00:39:44.970 --> 00:39:46.345
All right.

00:39:47.399 --> 00:39:50.195
How you doing? Oh, my God,
it actually did it.

00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:53.095
The forces and chaos
were incredible,

00:39:53.120 --> 00:39:55.374
the scientific principle of gravity

00:39:55.399 --> 00:39:56.704
deployed powerfully...

00:39:58.120 --> 00:40:00.704
...and the vacuum cleaner,
unforgettable.

00:40:00.729 --> 00:40:02.275
Didn't believe it at first.

00:40:02.300 --> 00:40:03.665
I still haven't believed it.

00:40:03.690 --> 00:40:05.095
It was a very impressive machine.

00:40:05.120 --> 00:40:08.584
And, you know, the grandfather clock
going down,

00:40:08.609 --> 00:40:10.865
the hair spinning, it was amazing.

00:40:10.890 --> 00:40:15.275
The ending was absolutely...amazing.

00:40:15.300 --> 00:40:16.865
But there's a hitch.

00:40:16.890 --> 00:40:18.425
It skipped a few steps.

00:40:18.450 --> 00:40:21.065
It skipped...it skipped one,

00:40:21.090 --> 00:40:24.384
but interestingly enough,
like the steps still happened.

00:40:24.409 --> 00:40:27.915
The green ball in the landing
was triggered by the impact

00:40:27.940 --> 00:40:29.305
of the falling drawer,

00:40:29.330 --> 00:40:32.865
instead of the ball falling
from the metal tube as intended,

00:40:32.890 --> 00:40:36.105
essentially skipping
Enrique's dresser.

00:40:36.130 --> 00:40:38.785
Zach will rule this stage out
when judging

00:40:38.810 --> 00:40:40.555
this otherwise perfect run.

00:40:40.580 --> 00:40:42.995
Can their rivals do better?

00:40:43.020 --> 00:40:44.464
Field houses.

00:40:44.489 --> 00:40:46.785
You all right? Very nervous.
Nervous.

00:40:46.810 --> 00:40:48.105
You're fairly quiet.

00:40:48.130 --> 00:40:50.425
We haven't actually tested
a full run yet.

00:40:50.450 --> 00:40:51.834
In the study, they want a candle

00:40:51.859 --> 00:40:54.105
to trigger Robin's Jacob's ladder,

00:40:54.130 --> 00:40:56.555
switching on a vacuum that releases

00:40:56.580 --> 00:40:58.865
the bin's bung and pulls a chalice

00:40:58.890 --> 00:41:00.785
towards a battery,

00:41:00.810 --> 00:41:02.275
knocking it through a copper coil

00:41:02.300 --> 00:41:03.945
that should make some scissors cut

00:41:03.970 --> 00:41:05.584
the string holding the sofa,

00:41:05.609 --> 00:41:07.584
triggering an air cannon

00:41:07.609 --> 00:41:09.464
to blow dust from my vase —

00:41:09.489 --> 00:41:13.795
provided their bedroom
and landing machines work first.

00:41:14.890 --> 00:41:17.504
That's a complicated thing.
Yeah, absolutely.

00:41:17.529 --> 00:41:20.555
It is the most intricate,
fiddly machine we've ever seen.

00:41:20.580 --> 00:41:23.195
So I... But I have hope for it.

00:41:23.220 --> 00:41:25.714
I wish you all the luck
in the world. More than that,

00:41:25.739 --> 00:41:28.075
I hope you don't need it.
In your own time,

00:41:28.100 --> 00:41:29.491
start your machine.

00:41:29.515 --> 00:41:30.504
Go, Adam! Go, Adam!

00:41:30.529 --> 00:41:31.745
Start the machine.

00:41:58.180 --> 00:42:00.435
It's not going.

00:42:01.489 --> 00:42:03.355
It's not going. It's not moving.

00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:05.155
Hairdryer's not moving.

00:42:05.180 --> 00:42:06.875
Oh, it IS moving!

00:42:08.539 --> 00:42:10.795
It was WARMING itself up.

00:42:10.820 --> 00:42:12.714
That was tense. Hairdryer joke.

00:42:24.180 --> 00:42:25.795
Oh, I love that car.

00:42:27.770 --> 00:42:29.235
Oh, so cool!

00:42:52.310 --> 00:42:55.235
So elegant, the wind-up.
Beautiful. A beautiful step.

00:43:02.539 --> 00:43:04.075
Just to remind us who they are.

00:43:06.900 --> 00:43:08.795
Is it going through...the battery?

00:43:14.180 --> 00:43:15.795
The machine has stopped.

00:43:15.820 --> 00:43:18.075
The chalice didn't push the battery

00:43:18.100 --> 00:43:19.875
into the copper coil.

00:43:21.820 --> 00:43:24.185
They need the first
of three interventions

00:43:24.210 --> 00:43:26.235
they're allowed in the rules.

00:43:26.260 --> 00:43:28.514
Adam, intervene.
I'm going to pull the chalice.

00:43:35.980 --> 00:43:38.235
Yeah, come on! One intervention!

00:43:38.260 --> 00:43:39.724
One intervention!

00:43:41.749 --> 00:43:44.035
That was intense!

00:43:44.060 --> 00:43:46.755
That was intense,
and I didn't even build it!

00:43:48.340 --> 00:43:51.005
The first two rooms were majestic.

00:43:51.030 --> 00:43:53.035
Gravity was used with wit and

00:43:53.060 --> 00:43:55.755
vacuum cleaner deployed creatively,

00:43:55.780 --> 00:43:57.675
but their fiddliest stage

00:43:57.700 --> 00:43:59.235
was their downfall.

00:43:59.260 --> 00:44:00.644
The chalice missed the battery

00:44:00.669 --> 00:44:02.235
by an inch.

00:44:04.110 --> 00:44:08.474
They have so many incredibly clever
ideas, the sort of thing you go,

00:44:08.499 --> 00:44:10.835
"Why didn't I think of that?
That's brilliant." Who knows?

00:44:10.860 --> 00:44:13.365
Who knows who's going to go through.
We have no idea.

00:44:13.390 --> 00:44:16.724
Zach has to pick between
a machine that skipped a step

00:44:16.749 --> 00:44:18.675
and one that needed an intervention.

00:44:18.700 --> 00:44:20.955
What a semifinal.

00:44:20.980 --> 00:44:22.035
Both teams worthy of it,

00:44:22.060 --> 00:44:24.514
both teams upped their games
from the heats.

00:44:24.539 --> 00:44:27.005
Absolutely.
Both phenomenal machines.

00:44:27.030 --> 00:44:29.315
Every bit that one team has done,

00:44:29.340 --> 00:44:31.644
the other one's balanced it out
somewhere.

00:44:31.669 --> 00:44:32.724
It is teetering right now.

00:44:32.749 --> 00:44:35.594
It is the closest I've ever
had to call it right now.

00:44:38.220 --> 00:44:39.805
Teams,

00:44:39.830 --> 00:44:44.165
thank you for an incredible
semifinal and for presenting us

00:44:44.190 --> 00:44:46.835
with two such incredible machines.

00:44:46.860 --> 00:44:50.755
And thank you guys so much,
because you just made my job

00:44:50.780 --> 00:44:52.115
that much harder.

00:44:52.140 --> 00:44:55.005
It came down to every element
of every single room

00:44:55.030 --> 00:44:56.445
that I had to look at,

00:44:56.470 --> 00:44:58.474
and it came down to the wire.

00:44:58.499 --> 00:45:03.555
So, ultimately, there is only one
team leaving here for the final.

00:45:03.580 --> 00:45:06.445
And that winning team is...

00:45:11.270 --> 00:45:14.474
...it's the Field houses.
Well done, guys,

00:45:14.499 --> 00:45:19.035
for consistently taking it to
the next level, which you did.

00:45:19.060 --> 00:45:20.805
Well done.

00:45:20.830 --> 00:45:23.195
Well done, guys. Well done, guys.

00:45:23.220 --> 00:45:24.915
Really HAPPY-

00:45:24.940 --> 00:45:27.755
I was really happy
with how many things worked.

00:45:27.780 --> 00:45:29.216
It's a little bit disappointing.

00:45:29.240 --> 00:45:30.675
Yeah. Put so
much time and effort

00:45:30.700 --> 00:45:32.724
into all the little intricacies,
didn't we?

00:45:32.749 --> 00:45:36.035
And for the majority of them
to actually come off.

00:45:36.060 --> 00:45:39.724
I think they absolutely deserve
the win and... I think they do.

00:45:39.749 --> 00:45:43.295
I think their final step
going wrong was down to luck,

00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:45.644
and it would have felt bad
if we won

00:45:45.669 --> 00:45:47.604
because their machine got unlucky.

00:45:47.629 --> 00:45:50.724
Next stop for the Field house
Brothers is the final.

00:45:50.749 --> 00:45:52.325
If they win the final, then,

00:45:52.350 --> 00:45:54.835
aah, losing to the winning team
is not so bad.

00:45:54.860 --> 00:45:57.604
Going to go bigger —
we've got to go bigger. Better.

00:45:57.629 --> 00:46:00.445
I think that's what Zach wants.
Get more technical, more reliable —

00:46:00.470 --> 00:46:01.885
easy. What could go wrong?

00:46:03.299 --> 00:46:05.835
Next time. It's the second
semifinal,

00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:07.401
as pilots... OK.

00:46:07.425 --> 00:46:08.965
..take on social media stars...

00:46:08.990 --> 00:46:10.685
Did you cry at ET? ..in a banger

00:46:10.710 --> 00:46:13.165
of a sausage-sizzling challenge.
Oh, my God!
