Will Ali the penguin keeper slip and slide his way to success on the Qualifier? Will Professor David Spiegelhalter OBE have done his sums right to get over the Big Red Balls with added travelator? Will Mark, IT manager by day, amateur wrestler by night, throw off the shackles of office life to make it past Granny's House unscathed? The five contestants left hanging on the brutal and rather amusing Ski Lift will take on Winter Blunderland. This sorts the wheat from the chaff... or the finalists from the non-finalists.

Winter Blunderland is a tense affair, with only three brave souls making it to the final of all finals - The Wipeout Zone. This tinsel wrapped and fairy light adorned beastly course will decide the Christmas Winter Wipeout Champion, who gets to sleigh away with the trophy and ten thousand pounds in their stocking.

Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram present another episode of Winter Wipeout, which sees 20 brave Brits travel halfway across the world to take on the world's largest obstacle course, set in a world of South American snow and ice. They attempt to defy Argentine engineering - and gravity - in their bid to win ten thousand pounds and the coveted title of Winter Wipeout Champion. Can magician Darren run the travellator and cross the Big Red Balls? Will Granny decide she doesn't want any government policy advisors knocking at her door and send Dom flying off into the mud? Or will Sophia the 'professional apple' from Cornwall beat them all to it and make it through to the Wipeout Zone without getting juiced? Turn on the TV, make yourself a warming cup of cocoa and enjoy the spills and chills of the biggest and best gameshow in the world!
Richard Hammond and co-host Amanda Byram encourage twenty foolhardy Brits to attempt a wintery obstacle course that is so preposterously icy, outrageously snowy and nonsensically slippery that only the hope of winning ten thousand pounds keeps them warm. Their courageous band of volunteers include a former world-class athlete intent on making a comeback, a bin-man with big ideas and a kamikaze housewife who literally launches herself at the Big Red Balls, Granny's House and the Ski Lift. Only three can progress to the Winter Wipeout Zone where, in the final moments of the nail-biting finish, there are just five seconds between the winner and the runner up. It is a close run thing for the title, with one finalist proving that the Impossible Snowflakes might actually be possible. (R)

Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram host another chilling episode of Winter Wipeout, all the way from the sub-zero temperatures of Argentina. Twenty brave battlers - including a grave digger, a pet detective and a whisky taster - take on the wintry weirdness. They all have something in common: the wish to return home minus bruising and with a cheque for 10,000 pounds. The Qualifier, with added Big Red Balls and Travellator as well as Granny's House and Log Jam, cuts the twenty down to twelve, all of whom move on to Ski Lift. Five take on Winter Blunderland, but only three contestants will survive it and become the heroes of the hour, going through to the ever so chilly Wipeout Zone. The jackpot prize can only be awarded to one winner, and the losers go home with a suitcase of bruises to mark the occasion.

Twenty brave Brits - including a bollard salesman, a farmer and a comedian - have volunteered for an expedition to the arctic wastelands of Argentina. There they must tackle the most absurd obstacle course on the planet in a bid to return home more than a few pounds richer. The twelve fastest contestants then must face the terrifying ordeal that is Ski Lift. Luckily, or not so luckily, the five contestants left standing on Ski Lift qualify for the next round, Winter Blunderland. They then discover the meaning of centrifugal force on the Winter Wizzy as they are spun at the speed of light (almost) and then have to complete the insane set of blockades ahead of them in order to qualify for the Winter Wipeout Zone. There is only one £10,000 cheque to be claimed and it is served over ice - the icy challenge that is the Wipeout Zone. The fastest on the final obstacle course hobbles home, exhausted but a champion nonetheless. Dig out your mittens and let the icy challenge commence.

Val D'Isere, Whistler, a dirty field outside Buenos Aires - all millionaire's playgrounds and destinations for the skiing jet set. And the most fashionable of all? That Buenos Aires field, home to the Winter Wipeout course, the world's toughest and silliest winter sports-based, knockabout game show arena. Ten celebrities take the reindeer-drawn sleigh to the top of the Qualifier, where Amanda Byram is waiting with a pithy put-down and a barrel of laughs. From the warmth of the studio, Richard Hammond commentates on the efforts of musical star Connie Fisher, snowy Olympic hero Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and hearthrob boy-band songster Tony Mortimer from E17. Who will defeat the devilish course, be crowned Winter Wipeout Celebrity champion, win 10,000 pounds for the charity of their choice and out-run Olympic sprint hero Derek Redmond?
The celebrity circus skis into town as Winter Wipeout once again challenges some of the nation's most famous faces to tackle the world-renowned, terrifying and unnecessarily slippy obstacle course. Quite a lot of the famous faces said they were busy and/or washing their hair, but the stellar cast that did make the journey to Buenos Aires includes TV host Terry Christian, model Sophie Anderton and footballing legend Peter Shilton. Their aim is to keep their dignity and bag a big fat cheque for the charity of their choice, but most of all to avoid being punched in the face at Granny's House. As ever, watching proceedings with a look of pity and a giggle that could melt a snowman's heart, knee-deep in the snowdrifts, is Amanda Byram. Providing insight, wit and inaccurate commentary is host Richard Hammond. Who will be the fastest on the Qualifier? Who will master the Ski Lift? Who will successfully navigate Winter Blunderland? And who will tame the icy hell that is the Winter Wipeout Zone, to be crowned Celebrity Champion? Here's a clue - it probably isn't Terry Christian.
