Episode 1

Richard Hammond, Amanda Byram and the Big Red Balls are back!

Total Wipeout, the biggest, brashest and most exhilarating game show on television, returns for a new series of bangs, bumps and bruises. 20 crazy contestants throw themselves around the course in the hope of bagging the £10,000 first prize.

They face new games on the Qualifier in the form of a swinging maze - helping to sweep the hapless competitors off their tired feet - and the Ring-a-Dings, a set of tyre-like obstacles that turn even the average postman into a contortionist!

The evil Motivator is still aiding nervous contestants across the Big Red Balls, but 2011 sees the Dodgeball Boys providing additional impetus in the form of wet foam bullets on Dizzy Dummies.

Each show culminates in the ultimate obstacle course - The Wipeout Zone, which sees records being broken all over the place. The action is better than ever, the laughs are bigger than ever and the competition is harder than ever before.
