Easy, bulb. 917 00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:51,560 In the hard-riding Nomad, that is easier said than done. 918 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,400 Hanging on to dear life. Don't go cracking on me. 919 00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:58,520 The only thing to do was ease off the pace. 920 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,880 Just not quite as much as McGuinness. 921 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,160 Let's try again. 922 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,360 Come on, G-Wagon! 923 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:13,400 Right. 924 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:20,600 While Germany's finest was busy burying itself into a hillside, 925 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:25,120 after a difficult first leg, Team Defender was finally making a move. 926 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,720 That was impressive. 927 00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:30,800 Because that's a really tricky surface. 928 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,680 Let's scarper back down here, shall we? 929 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:38,320 Here we go, boys! 930 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,960 HE LAUGHS 931 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,080 What do they say when you go to the mountains? 932 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,880 They say go properly equipped. I am properly equipped. 933 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:52,640 Which, it was time to conclude, McGuinness wasn't. 934 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,080 Go on, G-Wagon. You've got it. 935 00:52:56,520 --> 00:53:00,280 Nothing stops this car, nothing. 936 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:04,280 So, with the G-Wagon now being winched to safety by some 937 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,800 local forestry types... Lovely, bit of German engineering! 938 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,720 ..it's fair to say McGuinness's race was over. 939 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,840 But my plucky Defender had got me back to the road, 940 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,960 and as we closed in on the lighthouse, the only question 941 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,120 now was - would Flintoff and his Nomad emerge in front... 942 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,400 There we go, we're off again. 943 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,280 ..or behind? 944 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:33,400 Lighthouse, on the B with a lot of numbers. 945 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,600 Light bulb's intact, I've got the key. 946 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,120 Am I going to be first? 947 00:53:41,240 --> 00:53:43,160 Oh! 948 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:44,520 There's the lighthouse. 949 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:46,800 Come on! 950 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,120 Oh, hang on, hang on.

You cannot get past me. 956 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,440 It's still single track, my friend. 957 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,320 No! I just need a little bit more. 958 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,000 I'm loving this! 959 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,920 And he's trying it. Oh! 960 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,000 He's trying it! There's a fence there. 961 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:28,040 This was it, then. 962 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:32,000 With the road snaking its final few yards to the coast, 963 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,400 our Highland adventure was at an end. 964 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,960 If it goes two lanes, this will become the widest Defender ever. 965 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:46,120 And as the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse rounded into view, 966 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,720 the car in front was the Defender. 967 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,920 What are the chances that there's a red G-Wagon ahead of both of us? 968 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,040 Not a chance. Not a chance. 969 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,640 It's a victory. 970 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,520 Oh! 971 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,800 But there was of course one more job left to do. 972 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,160 Do you want me to open it? Yes, please, Andrew. 973 00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:13,920 The lighthouse needed its new bulb, 974 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,440 and that meant lugging all 19 kilos of it up to the top. 975 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,760 It's never-ending! It's like a Paddy McGuinness joke. 976 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,960 I think the Defender might have done us here, Larry. 977 00:55:30,240 --> 00:55:33,200 That could have all been yours, Larry. Never mind. 978 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,640 And once McGuinness and his new friend finally joined us... 979 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,960 Not far now, Larry. 980 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:45,440 ..the only question was - had my bulb survived the trip? 981 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,560 I declare this lighthouse operational. 982 00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,400 Yes! 983 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,040 Oh.

I've brought Larry up, lads. 986 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,280 You must have cracked it in transit. 987 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,520 It's gone. It's gone bang, lads. 988 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,560 THEY CHEER 989 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:10,880 ALL: Ohhhh! 990 00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,240 PADDY CHEERS 991 00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:14,520 They're meant to flash.

Do they not go round like that? No. 994 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:24,200 Paddy, it's 2021. Do they not do that any more in lighthouses? 995 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,960 What do you think this is? Moby Dick? 996 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:34,320 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE 997 00:56:37,720 --> 00:56:41,080 Come on! Fair play, Chris. Congratulations. 998 00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,560 But you've got to admit you're lucky. I nearly had you there. 999 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,680 I had you totally covered the whole way. 1000 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,800 No chance, I was just behind you. I was catching you up in the Nomad. Look at it. You were still second. 1001 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,080 Lads, lads, lads, we were all winners, really. 1002 00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:53,600 We all made it to the lighthouse 1003 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,960 and we avoided an international shipping incident. 1004 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,280 Well, not really, you came last. You got stuck in the mud, Pad. What? 1005 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,480 That third diff-lock came in very handy, didn't it? 1006 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,160 I've got to be honest, if I'd have had six diff-locks, 1007 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,360 it wouldn't have made any difference with them tyres. 1008 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,280 What we can all agree on is that I won 1009 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,520 and the Defender is the best off-roader here by miles. 1010 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,200 We can't agree on that. It's this every day of the week. The Nomad. 1011 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,600 What's wrong with you? Look at it. Enough, enough. Stop there. I won. 1012 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:21,200 It's simple. OK? And that's all we've got time for tonight. 1013 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,960 It is, but we'll be back next week with the last show of the series. 1014 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,920 Where has that time gone? Already? Yeah! 1015 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,760 But don't worry because it's a belter. 1016 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:33,360 We finally solve the male midlife crisis. See you then! Good night! 1017 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:39,520 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
