Total Wipeout goes truly global for the very first time, as a hand-picked team of British contestants go head-to-head with a hand-picked team of contestants from the rest of the world. As ever, the hand that picked both teams didn't know what it was doing. Richard Hammond is your giggling, non-partisan host as British brilliance on the world's craziest obstacle course is put to the test by the finest athletes from Germany, France and the USA, amongst others. Amanda Byram is course-side in Buenos Aires with a fistful of foreign phrasebooks to ensure that she can laugh at all the contestants with equal enthusiasm.
