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 travellator? 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. Those last three bruised and battered heroes will tackle the Winter Wipeout Zone. Only one can return from Argentina as the inaugural Winter Wipeout Champion and get their mittens on the most coveted trophy in gameshow land.

Welcome back to Winter Wipeout! Richard Hammond and co-host Amanda Byram actively encourage twenty foolhardy Brits to attempt a wintery obstacle course that’s so preposterously icy, outrageously snowy and nonsensically slippery that only the hope of winning a rather cool ten thousand pounds keeps them warm. Today’s 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’s a close run thing for the title this week with one finalist proving that the Impossible Snowflakes might actually be possible.

Hosted by Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram, this week’s episode of Winter Wipeout sees a whole load of brave Brits travel halfway across the world to take on the world’s largest obstacle course in a setting of Argentine snow and ice.

The Winter Blob makes a welcome appearance to send the contestants into orbit whilst Granny’s House and the Big Red Balls attempt to send the participants flying. Twelve will make it through to Ski lift and only five of them head to Winter Blunderland. The Wipeout Zone witnesses the top three attempt to take the title and win the cash. Can Cherry Man John eat enough cherries to make it through? Can Rio the coach driver drive his way to victory or will Mica the Welsh sprint champion become the Winter Wipeout Champion? All will be revealed!
