Easy, bulb. 919 00:51:46,045 --> 00:51:50,883 In the hard-riding Nomad, that is easier said than done. 920 00:51:50,885 --> 00:51:53,725 Hanging on to dear life. Don't go cracking on me. 921 00:51:55,565 --> 00:51:57,845 The only thing to do was ease off the pace. 922 00:51:59,085 --> 00:52:02,203 Just not quite as much as McGuinness. 923 00:52:02,205 --> 00:52:03,485 Let's try again. 924 00:52:06,925 --> 00:52:08,685 Come on, G-Wagon! 925 00:52:11,645 --> 00:52:12,725 Right. 926 00:52:14,605 --> 00:52:19,923 While Germany's finest was busy burying itself into a hillside, 927 00:52:19,925 --> 00:52:24,445 after a difficult first leg, Team Defender was finally making a move. 928 00:52:26,085 --> 00:52:28,043 That was impressive. 929 00:52:28,045 --> 00:52:30,125 Because that's a really tricky surface. 930 00:52:32,685 --> 00:52:35,005 Let's scarper back down here, shall we? 931 00:52:36,205 --> 00:52:37,643 Here we go, boys! 932 00:52:37,645 --> 00:52:40,283 HE LAUGHS 933 00:52:40,285 --> 00:52:42,403 What do they say when you go to the mountains? 934 00:52:42,405 --> 00:52:45,205 They say go properly equipped. I am properly equipped. 935 00:52:46,765 --> 00:52:51,963 Which, it was time to conclude, McGuinness wasn't. 936 00:52:51,965 --> 00:52:54,405 Go on, G-Wagon. You've got it. 937 00:52:55,845 --> 00:52:59,603 Nothing stops this car, nothing. 938 00:52:59,605 --> 00:53:03,603 So, with the G-Wagon now being winched to safety by some 939 00:53:03,605 --> 00:53:08,123 local forestry types... Lovely, bit of German engineering! 940 00:53:08,125 --> 00:53:11,045 ..it's fair to say McGuinness's race was over. 941 00:53:13,165 --> 00:53:17,163 But my plucky Defender had got me back to the road, 942 00:53:17,165 --> 00:53:20,283 and as we closed in on the lighthouse, the only question 943 00:53:20,285 --> 00:53:24,443 now was - would Flintoff and his Nomad emerge in front... 944 00:53:24,445 --> 00:53:26,723 There we go, we're off again. 945 00:53:26,725 --> 00:53:28,603 ..or behind? 946 00:53:28,605 --> 00:53:32,723 Lighthouse, on the B with a lot of numbers. 947 00:53:32,725 --> 00:53:34,925 Light bulb's intact, I've got the key. 948 00:53:37,005 --> 00:53:38,445 Am I going to be first? 949 00:53:40,565 --> 00:53:42,483 Oh! 950 00:53:42,485 --> 00:53:43,845 There's the lighthouse. 951 00:53:45,085 --> 00:53:46,125 Come on! 952 00:53:47,805 --> 00:53:50,443 Oh, hang on, hang on.

You cannot get past me. 958 00:54:04,725 --> 00:54:07,765 It's still single track, my friend. 959 00:54:09,005 --> 00:54:11,645 No! I just need a little bit more. 960 00:54:12,845 --> 00:54:14,325 I'm loving this! 961 00:54:17,805 --> 00:54:20,245 And he's trying it. Oh! 962 00:54:22,125 --> 00:54:24,325 He's trying it! There's a fence there. 963 00:54:25,565 --> 00:54:27,363 This was it, then. 964 00:54:27,365 --> 00:54:31,323 With the road snaking its final few yards to the coast, 965 00:54:31,325 --> 00:54:33,725 our Highland adventure was at an end. 966 00:54:34,965 --> 00:54:39,285 If it goes two lanes, this will become the widest Defender ever. 967 00:54:41,605 --> 00:54:45,443 And as the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse rounded into view, 968 00:54:45,445 --> 00:54:48,045 the car in front was the Defender. 969 00:54:49,925 --> 00:54:53,245 What are the chances that there's a red G-Wagon ahead of both of us? 970 00:54:54,925 --> 00:54:57,365 Not a chance. Not a chance. 971 00:54:59,525 --> 00:55:00,965 It's a victory. 972 00:55:02,885 --> 00:55:04,843 Oh! 973 00:55:04,845 --> 00:55:08,123 But there was of course one more job left to do. 974 00:55:08,125 --> 00:55:10,483 Do you want me to open it? Yes, please, Andrew. 975 00:55:10,485 --> 00:55:13,243 The lighthouse needed its new bulb, 976 00:55:13,245 --> 00:55:17,763 and that meant lugging all 19 kilos of it up to the top. 977 00:55:17,765 --> 00:55:21,085 It's never-ending! It's like a Paddy McGuinness joke. 978 00:55:24,725 --> 00:55:27,285 I think the Defender might have done us here, Larry. 979 00:55:29,565 --> 00:55:32,525 That could have all been yours, Larry. Never mind. 980 00:55:33,645 --> 00:55:36,965 And once McGuinness and his new friend finally joined us... 981 00:55:38,325 --> 00:55:40,283 Not far now, Larry. 982 00:55:40,285 --> 00:55:44,765 ..the only question was - had my bulb survived the trip? 983 00:55:46,445 --> 00:55:49,883 I declare this lighthouse operational. 984 00:55:49,885 --> 00:55:51,723 Yes! 985 00:55:51,725 --> 00:55:53,363 Oh.

I've brought Larry up, lads. 988 00:56:01,765 --> 00:56:04,603 You must have cracked it in transit. 989 00:56:04,605 --> 00:56:06,843 It's gone. It's gone bang, lads. 990 00:56:06,845 --> 00:56:08,883 THEY CHEER 991 00:56:08,885 --> 00:56:10,203 ALL: Ohhhh! 992 00:56:10,205 --> 00:56:11,563 PADDY CHEERS 993 00:56:11,565 --> 00:56:13,843 They're meant to flash.

Do they not go round like that? No. 996 00:56:19,925 --> 00:56:23,523 Paddy, it's 2021. Do they not do that any more in lighthouses? 997 00:56:23,525 --> 00:56:25,285 What do you think this is? Moby Dick? 998 00:56:28,805 --> 00:56:33,645 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE 999 00:56:37,045 --> 00:56:40,403 Come on! Fair play, Chris. Congratulations. 1000 00:56:40,405 --> 00:56:42,883 But you've got to admit you're lucky. I nearly had you there. 1001 00:56:42,885 --> 00:56:45,003 I had you totally covered the whole way. 1002 00:56:45,005 --> 00:56:49,123 No chance, I was just behind you. I was catching you up in the Nomad. Look at it. You were still second. 1003 00:56:49,125 --> 00:56:51,403 Lads, lads, lads, we were all winners, really. 1004 00:56:51,405 --> 00:56:52,923 We all made it to the lighthouse 1005 00:56:52,925 --> 00:56:55,283 and we avoided an international shipping incident. 1006 00:56:55,285 --> 00:56:58,603 Well, not really, you came last. You got stuck in the mud, Pad. What? 1007 00:56:58,605 --> 00:57:00,803 That third diff-lock came in very handy, didn't it? 1008 00:57:00,805 --> 00:57:03,483 I've got to be honest, if I'd have had six diff-locks, 1009 00:57:03,485 --> 00:57:05,683 it wouldn't have made any difference with them tyres. 1010 00:57:05,685 --> 00:57:07,603 What we can all agree on is that I won 1011 00:57:07,605 --> 00:57:09,843 and the Defender is the best off-roader here by miles. 1012 00:57:09,845 --> 00:57:12,523 We can't agree on that. It's this every day of the week. The Nomad. 1013 00:57:12,525 --> 00:57:15,923 What's wrong with you? Look at it. Enough, enough. Stop there. I won. 1014 00:57:15,925 --> 00:57:20,523 It's simple. OK? And that's all we've got time for tonight. 1015 00:57:20,525 --> 00:57:24,283 It is, but we'll be back next week with the last show of the series. 1016 00:57:24,285 --> 00:57:26,243 Where has that time gone? Already? Yeah! 1017 00:57:26,245 --> 00:57:28,083 But don't worry because it's a belter. 1018 00:57:28,085 --> 00:57:32,685 We finally solve the male midlife crisis. See you then! Good night! 1019 00:57:33,685 --> 00:57:38,845 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
