Hopefuls including a wannabe singer and a tennis coach take on the famous course.

Richard Hammond and co-host Amanda Byram return to guide 20 foolhardy Brits through the biggest and daftest obstacle course in the universe. From giant hammers that smack them in the face to the Shapeshifter, via the Big Red Balls, each contestant braves the Qualifier to attempt qualification for Double Cross. From there, the field is halved and those 'lucky' enough to make it through to Terror-Go-Round face it head-on in an effort to get to the Wipeout Zone. Darkness, raging torrents and fire bursts lie between the finalists and the chance of winning ten thousand pounds. Who will get their hands on the coveted Total Wipeout trophy?

Stand by for foam-padded action. It's another high-octane, low pain threshold edition of crazed knockabout game show Total Wipeout. Richard Hammond, as your host, will be arching an eyebrow at the ludicrous antics of 20 more over-excited contestants, who have thrown caution to the wind - and will have to be cautious if they don't want to be winded - on Argentina's famous Total Wipeout course. From the side of the course, co-host Amanda Byram will be stifling laughs as contestants bravely tackle the Sucker Punch with added paint power, the brilliantly bouncy Big Red Balls and the disaster waiting to happen that is Double Cross. Four rounds of torment and terror, mud and mayhem are worth it for one lucky contestant though, as he or she will be crowned the Total Wipeout champion and pocket a cheque for £10,000.

Contestants include an over-excited trainee maths teacher and an ageing rocker from Kent.

The biggest and brashest game show on television is back. Hosted by Richard Hammond and Amanda Byram, the show welcomes a set of contestants to Argentina to take on the wrath of some seriously hard obstacles in the hope of bagging 10,000 pounds and the magnificent trophy. The Qualifier sees the welcome return of the Big Red Balls and the Motivator to provide a little help for those feeling reluctant to throw themselves of the edge. Crash Mountain will cut the numbers down a bit and Dizzy Dummies cuts it down further, whilst introducing the contestants to the Hose Man and the Ball Boys just to make it even harder. Each programme culminates in the Wipeout Zone where things get really competitive in order to win the prize and a lifetime of respect. The action is better than ever, the laughs are bigger than ever and the competition is harder than ever before. .

The seven previous winners compete to be crowned Champion of Champions.

Contestants include an accountant, a professor of science and an Obi-Wan Kenobi lookalike.
