TVTranscript
00:00These Aussies are going on tour.
00:02We are here to win.
00:03Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
00:04Go, go.
00:05Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
00:07Are we lost?
00:08Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
00:09We got home.
00:10Can we get the medic?
00:12I'll forgive, but I'll never forget.
00:13There's a team on our tail.
00:14Oh, my God.
00:15The Amazing Race Australia on E4.
00:18Coming soon.
00:21Now on Channel 4, with strong and discriminatory language
00:25and content that may offend some viewers,
00:27Jonathan Ross is handcuffing opposites
00:30to see who will be the last pair standing,
00:33with £100,000 to split between them.
01:03We only met yesterday,
01:05and we stopped while it made it in the shower to get more.
01:09Oh, God, that's nice, isn't it?
01:11Yeah.
01:15Could you survive being handcuffed to a total stranger?
01:21In a brand-new competition,
01:2318 people have agreed to do just that.
01:26For a big guy, I'm getting a little nervous, do you know what I mean?
01:30They'll have to live together, just inches apart,
01:33doing everything, and I do mean everything together.
01:37Hold on, don't go fully.
01:40I'm starting this experiment the only way I know how,
01:44in a TV studio with a live audience.
01:48Everyone is handcuffed to their total opposite.
01:51Pull back the divide.
01:57From a posh baronet with a former prison officer
02:00to a self-confessed prude with a porn star.
02:04I'm scattering the couples to the four corners of Britain
02:09to walk a mile in each other's shoes.
02:12It is so exhausting being in Claire's world.
02:16I'm hoping that by living together in such close proximity,
02:19they might just learn to get along.
02:22If you listen...
02:23Don't keep telling me to listen.
02:25Everything's racist if you want it to be.
02:29They can uncuff at any time.
02:31I've had enough, and I want the cameras just to bugger off.
02:35Give me the f***ing key.
02:37But the last pair standing...
02:40Come on.
02:40We don't do that round here.
02:42..will win £100,000.
02:47She might have different opinions,
02:49but she's actually really helped me get through this.
02:52Can a divided Britain settle its many differences?
02:57I've learned that other people are kind
02:59in a world that I did not trust.
03:02This is the survival show
03:04where you have to survive someone else.
03:06I don't want to talk.
03:09You are at my classes of farm, aren't you?
03:12Welcome to Handcuffed.
03:23Let's meet our first brave Handcuffee.
03:30People have animals and family member tributes on the leg.
03:35Why should I not have a tribute to a string cheese?
03:38That's what I love.
03:40I genuinely believe that feminism and body positivity
03:43go hand in hand.
03:46I want to show people it's OK to be different.
03:49We're all allowed to live our lives as we want to.
03:55I am not going to let the handcuffs come off.
03:58And I will try as hard as I can to find common ground.
04:01I'm nervous, but I can survive this.
04:05I can survive anything.
04:08So let's get this remarkable experiment on the road.
04:12Will you please welcome to the stage our first pair?
04:26OK, so would you mind telling us who you are
04:29and tell us where you're from?
04:30I'm Jo.
04:31I'm from Manchester.
04:32I'm 39 and I own my own plus-size clothing company.
04:36What's the best thing about the North?
04:37Gravy.
04:39We do have gravy down here as well.
04:41Ours is just better.
04:42What would be, do you think,
04:44the worst kind of person for you to be handcuffed to?
04:47Somebody who measures people's worth by this
04:51rather than what's inside.
04:53You know, when somebody passes away,
04:55an obituary never said,
04:57oh, here lies Susan, she had great tits.
05:02Well, you're going to be a lot of fun
05:03for watching the show, I know that.
05:05So I think, Jo, it's time for us to meet your other half.
05:11The sweat is dropping down my balls
05:13in this hot taxi, I must say.
05:18I would describe myself as an alpha male, yes.
05:20I'm a natural leader, very confident, very outgoing.
05:24I think it can be hard to be a man in today's society.
05:27It's toxic masculinity
05:29for wanting to open the car door for someone.
05:32I'm incredibly competitive
05:33and I think that will drive me very well in this competition.
05:41There we go.
05:43Take a seat, take a seat.
05:45Tell us who you are, where you're from.
05:47My name's Ruben, I'm 29 years old.
05:49I'm a property developer, fitness freak,
05:52and I'm from Portsmouth.
05:53You say you're a fitness freak.
05:54Do you go to the gym often?
05:55Two hours a day most days.
05:56Wow. So it's a big part of your life.
05:58It is. It's the main focus, actually.
06:00I want to look myself in the mirror and go,
06:02caught, I'm sexy.
06:05What kind of person do you think
06:07would be the hardest kind of person
06:09for you to be handcuffed to?
06:10Someone who does not take accountability for themselves,
06:13someone who blames everyone else
06:15for their own situation in life.
06:17If you want to get ahead,
06:18life's very competitive.
06:19You need to put in more work,
06:20more hours, more discipline.
06:21You're prepared to talk, obviously.
06:23Are you prepared to listen as well?
06:26Oh, that's a thing that I'm not very good at.
06:28That's what I've been working on.
06:30Well, you've come to the right place.
06:33It is time to handcuff these two cultural strangers together.
06:40Once the cuffs are on,
06:41they'll have to live their life together around the clock.
06:45Shall we do this?
06:47Pull back the divide.
06:57Joe, meet Ruben.
06:59Ruben, meet Joe.
07:01You've got the name of one of my favourite sandwiches.
07:03Oh, yes.
07:06Fuck.
07:08Training's out the window.
07:09Lifestyle, out the window.
07:10Healthy habits, out the window.
07:14I'm apprehensive, not optimistic.
07:16I think he looks nice.
07:18He might be a bit of a gym bro.
07:20Definitely not someone that I would probably meet with, like, in real life.
07:26So it's the age-old battle of the sexies.
07:29A proud feminist with an alpha male.
07:33You ready?
07:33Yeah, I'm excited.
07:35And you?
07:35Oh, keen eyes.
07:36And we got this though, haven't we?
07:38Yeah, money in the bag, money in the bank.
07:40A hundred percent.
07:43Joe and Ruben are just one of the nine pairs I'm handcuffing together.
07:49They're a cross-section of British society.
07:53All complete opposites.
07:55They'll start by spending time in each other's houses.
07:58Look at the size of it.
08:00OK, right.
08:01Oh, my God, this is Halloween.
08:03It's not a touch base.
08:04Before travelling across Britain.
08:06Nice day for it, Captain.
08:08Nice day.
08:09Wherever they go, there's a key.
08:11But use it and they lose the chance of that £100,000.
08:18Let's meet our next pair.
08:23I'm feeling nervous now.
08:26Like I'm going to physically shit myself.
08:31Enter North London barmaid Tilly Martin.
08:35How nice is this area, by the way?
08:37Fucking love it.
08:39Not a good-looking fellow, sir.
08:40Honestly, I'm like, he's all right, isn't he?
08:45I might go in the pool later.
08:49If I won a share of £100,000, to me, that's lottery money.
08:55I think Britain is divided.
08:57I think you're either really, really rich or you're on your arsehole.
09:01I work three jobs, you know.
09:04I am feeling very nervous about being handcuffed to a stranger.
09:08All of a sudden, I'm like, oh, fuck.
09:16Hello.
09:17Hello, mate. You all right?
09:18I'm good. Nice to meet you.
09:19Oh, that's great. You've got a heart.
09:21Thank you. Take a seat.
09:23Well, I feel we've already met, but will you introduce yourself to everyone else?
09:26I'm Tilly. I'm 37. I'm from North London.
09:29I run a cleaning company and I'm a barmaid.
09:31So you've got two jobs then, really?
09:33Yeah, and a few other ones.
09:35What do you like as a person? How would you describe yourself?
09:37I think when people first meet me, they think, hmm, she was a bit much.
09:41I swear, quite a bit.
09:42You like a good old swear.
09:43It just happens.
09:44I've been told I can't say c**t by my mum.
09:46Yeah.
09:46So, yeah.
09:47What kind of person do you think you might struggle to be handcuffed to?
09:52I think somebody that thinks they're better than me.
09:55Some people think if you talk a certain way, you know, if you have a certain kind of job, you're
10:00below them.
10:01Just because you're rich, it doesn't mean that you're wiser.
10:10I'm viewed by some as extremely gifted.
10:15For Tilly, introducing millionaire businessman and true British eccentric Anthony Saxon-Kersley.
10:22Money talks and wealth whispers.
10:25Real wealth doesn't shout.
10:29In this country, manors have been decimated.
10:34But good manners can be taught if the person being taught is willing to learn.
10:42I want to win this process, purely to prove that I have got the character to do this.
10:52Good evening, Jonathan.
10:54Hello, sir.
10:54Very nice to meet you.
10:55Take a seat.
10:56Take a seat.
10:57Tell us a bit about yourself, your name, any other details you want to share.
11:00I'm Anthony.
11:01I'm 60.
11:02I live in the glorious county of Suffolk, and I run a bespoke classic car business in the countryside.
11:10You hire out cars?
11:11Not quite.
11:12It's a car hire firm?
11:13It's more couture.
11:14So what's your reason for coming on the show?
11:16It's terrifying how this country is changing.
11:19Manners are not frivolous.
11:21It's the core of our being.
11:23It should be the core of the way we live.
11:25If more people had manners and understood what they were, we wouldn't be in half the problems
11:29we've got now.
11:30Anthony, pleasure to meet you.
11:31OK.
11:32It's the moment of truth.
11:34It's time to handcuff these two total strangers together.
11:39Shall we do this?
11:49You look fantastic.
11:55He's hilarious, isn't he?
11:57Anthony, what do you make of Tilly, your first thoughts?
12:00Not at all what I was expecting.
12:02What were you expecting?
12:04A leggy blonde.
12:06Bitly disappointed, isn't he?
12:10Whenever they're interviewed, one partner will wear noise-cancelling headphones, allowing
12:14the other to tell us what they really think.
12:17Tilly obviously isn't the sort of person that I would meet on a day-to-day basis.
12:21Her style of dress is a fashion throwback from what a cleaner might wear.
12:27I thought I was going to be handcuffed to a bit of a prick.
12:32Like, not saying that he's not, I don't know him yet.
12:38So a millionaire on a crusade to bring back old-fashioned manners and a cleaner who can't
12:43stop swearing.
12:45So how are we getting to yours?
12:47We're going in a time machine.
12:50The pair will begin the competition at Anthony's Suffolk Manor House.
12:55She's gone over Silver Sand and her daughter in San Francisco.
13:00And he's pulled out all the stops for Tilly.
13:03There you are.
13:05Can you settle back?
13:07This is beautiful, isn't it?
13:09Yeah.
13:10It's very special.
13:12So we're heading out of London and we're heading up to the very quiet enclave of Suffolk,
13:18where we're going to spend some lovely time getting to know each other.
13:23I could get used to this, I reckon.
13:27How many cars have you got?
13:29Roughly?
13:3055, 60.
13:31How much is your entire collection worth?
13:36Somewhere between three and a half million, maybe four.
13:42In Rolls Royce?
13:46I feel like Julia Roberts, guys.
13:56Back in London, feminist Jo and alpha male Wobin are heading to her house in Manchester.
14:02I'm going to make an executive decision that we're going to get some snacks.
14:05I'll make sure we've got some protein and that sort of thing with us.
14:08He'll make sure that he's got protein for us.
14:11These two might seem poles apart, but I reckon they might have more in common than they think.
14:17We're going in it, yeah?
14:18Yeah, yeah.
14:19So...
14:19Hang on, hang on, hang on.
14:21Oh, yeah, thank you.
14:24No.
14:25The answer is no.
14:27Got to read the attraction level and clearly it's not there yet.
14:31It will never be there.
14:32They all say that to start with, baby.
14:35Fucking hell, this is going to be entertaining, isn't it?
14:38I can't deal with this whole toxic masculinity thing.
14:42Hey, stick with me, love, hey.
14:44You fancy a bit of me, don't you?
14:46I didn't like him calling me baby.
14:49I've not told him I'm gay.
14:51And then he just keeps making jokes, saying,
14:53oh, you'll get there, don't you worry.
14:55No, no, I won't.
14:56Like, you've not got the right part.
15:01Stick with me, sweetheart, you'll be all right.
15:03I think I could manage quite fine on my own.
15:06Sure you could, baby.
15:09Can we just make things clear?
15:11Call me baby one more time.
15:13Can I?
15:14And we ain't going to be winning this money, I can assure you.
15:17Can I call you baby?
15:18You've called me baby about four times now.
15:21Darling, instead?
15:22Absolutely not.
15:23Absolutely not.
15:23You can call me Joe.
15:24Joe.
15:25You're obviously from a world where you seem to think it's appropriate to, like, make sexual
15:30jokes to strangers and stuff.
15:31I don't find that appropriate.
15:33I think it's really crossing a boundary.
15:37Hey, I thought we were having a laugh.
15:39But not all right with you?
15:40I just didn't expect to be caught with someone like you.
15:54I've handcuffed pairs of total strangers together, all competing for a £100,000 prize.
16:02As the first couples head to their homes, I'm hoping that by living in each other's lives,
16:09they can learn to get along.
16:17Next up, a divide which has split the country since at least 1066, class.
16:26If the dogs don't like him, there's going to be a problem.
16:30They're part of the family.
16:31If they don't approve, that's it.
16:34May I present Sir Benjamin Slade, 7th Baronet of Munsell.
16:40I'm a very simple person.
16:42I only want to have fun, make a bit of money, sex, power, and I like very, very fine wine.
16:49No cheap stuff.
16:51The class system is very simple.
16:53Once an Englishman opens his mouth, you can tell exactly where he's coming from.
16:58I have to say, £50,000, it would help keep the wolf from the door.
17:05Hello, sir. Come and have a seat.
17:07Thanks, mate.
17:10So, would you mind introducing yourself and telling us where you come from, sir?
17:14I'm Sir Ben Slade, 7th Baronet of Munsell in Somerset.
17:19So, you are a sir?
17:19Yeah, I'm a baronet.
17:21A baronet is a small baron.
17:23I think it would be fair to say you are of the upper class.
17:26Yes, but everybody thinks I'm absolutely loaded, but actually, times are tough.
17:34For Sir Ben, I've chosen this fella.
17:37I might have had a spat with people who see themselves as intellectually higher, because
17:41they might be able to use certain long words.
17:43Well, so can I.
17:44Don't let the Cockney accent fall with you.
17:47My mum would say to me, school don't finish when you come out of that game.
17:52You've got to keep learning, because the upper class will use knowledge to get you down.
18:01Would you mind telling us a little bit about yourself?
18:04Yeah, I'm George.
18:05I'm 60 years of age, ex-prison officer among many other things.
18:09As an ex-prison officer, presumably you've been handcuffed to people in the past, have you?
18:13I've been handcuffed to IRA terrorists, Al-Qaeda terrorists, Italian mafia.
18:18Let me ask you, generally speaking, what are the biggest challenges that face us as a country?
18:21I think that we've got to stop looking at each other, that's the problem, and look up.
18:26And we all doff our cap, because he's got a posh accent.
18:28He went to Eton, you know, so he must know what he's talking about.
18:31So you're not a respecter of just a posh accent, or...
18:35I'm a respecter of a human being.
18:37How they talk, I couldn't give two monkeys.
18:39OK.
18:40So it's the moment of truth, it's time to handcuff these two total strangers together.
18:47Shall we do this?
18:49OK.
18:50Pull back the divide.
18:54All right, mate, you all right?
18:56All right to meet you.
18:56OK, so, George, let me introduce you to Sir Ben, and Sir Ben, this is George.
19:03Hello, Ben.
19:04Hello, mate.
19:05Please, will you join me in wishing them both the best of luck?
19:13Where are you taking me to?
19:14Well, we're taking to the old family ranch.
19:17So is this a council house we're going to?
19:23Far from it.
19:24Far from it.
19:24George will spend his first days in handcuffs residing in Sir Ben's 14th century ancestral home in Somerset.
19:38Mansell House, we've been coming up for 300 years there.
19:42As the baronet, I don't tolerate any crap in my house, and so some people think that I'm a knob,
19:50and it's absolutely marvellous.
19:53Good sport.
19:54It's a bit like fox hunting.
19:58I'll show you around the house.
20:01To help the couples really focus on each other, I'm restricting access to their phones.
20:06I've also placed keys in their homes in case they decide to uncuff.
20:13There's a lot of history here.
20:15So when was this house first built?
20:17The room you were in was there in 878.
20:21878?
20:21Yeah.
20:21That's fucking Alfred the Great, isn't it?
20:23Yeah, Alfred the Great came here in 78.
20:25He didn't?
20:25Yes, he did.
20:26He's a hero of mine, Alfred the Great.
20:28Yeah, but anyway...
20:29Don't go so fast, I've got questions.
20:32I'm fascinated by history.
20:34I consider myself an intelligent man.
20:36Don't go thinking you're better than me because you've got a plum in your gob.
20:40Because you ain't.
20:41Oliver Cromwell?
20:42That's from the Roundheads, isn't it?
20:44Yeah, yeah, Roundabout.
20:46So that's sort of James I era, isn't it?
20:49Yeah, that is James I on the left.
20:51What you don't know about me is I'm a history tour guide.
20:53Oh, Christ, you know everything.
20:56George is a historian, which is a bit inconvenient.
21:00That was a painting done by a famous artist, a German chappie.
21:07Anton Fittler, he painted that?
21:09Yeah, he's a good painter, wasn't he?
21:11He's very good at oratory, he's a very good at history, very good with children, and he
21:15loved music, and he's good with dogs.
21:18You sound like a fan.
21:19No, he was slightly difficult for other reasons.
21:23So you've gone and purchased that?
21:26Yes.
21:27And that is just German art of about that period, and you have to respect it.
21:33I wouldn't want his painting in my house because of what he did to humanity.
21:37That is a horror of a human being, and his artwork doesn't belong to be shown.
21:42It means going to the toilet.
21:43Do you not see that that's abhorrent to some people?
21:46No, it's your choice, but nobody understood he could paint.
21:49You write my classes to fucking bar me, aren't you?
21:51You're round a fucking twist.
22:02200 miles north...
22:03I don't know why I'm so nervous.
22:06I feel like a bit juicer like my boyfriend's and my mum.
22:09Feminist Jo and alpha-male Wubin have made it to Manchester.
22:15I know I've really got to curb my opinions and buck my ideas up if I want to see us
22:20all
22:21the way through this challenge.
22:22I've got to be strategic in my approach.
22:24Easier said than done.
22:25Cheers, Joves.
22:27Before heading to her house, Jo's checking in on her plus-size clothing business, Topsy Curvy.
22:34It's a completely different walk of life.
22:37I just hope I can open his eyes to realise that there's loads of us who are seen as, like,
22:44society's outcasts.
22:46So, this is my business, Topsy Curvy.
22:50It is all gender-neutral, plus-size clothing.
22:55I'm a fat, artistic, gay woman.
22:57I'm the OG FAG.
22:59In the world of trolls and in the world of the internet, everything I am is fair game.
23:05If we can live our lives always being mindful and always being kind, then that, to me, is
23:12more inclusive for everybody.
23:14Hiya!
23:15Hello.
23:16Jo runs the company with her business partner, Nakt.
23:19I'm Reuben. Lovely to meet you.
23:21And you.
23:22We're not just running a business.
23:24It's about creating a community.
23:26We have to be so mindful with the language that we use.
23:30We need to be inclusive.
23:31Don't assume pronouns.
23:33And it's giving them a space to wear what they want to wear.
23:36Be who they are.
23:41I'm 100% biting my tongue.
23:43A lot of what they said in there is complete bullshit.
23:46These people are definitely too sensitive.
23:48Life's tough.
23:49And that is the problem, I think, with this community.
23:52It's so accepting of everyone and everyone's feelings.
23:54The world is a fucking jungle.
24:01People think fat people are, like, the lowest of society.
24:04Like, we get abused daily, don't we?
24:07We do.
24:08Someone will just holler out of a car window,
24:10Fat fuck!
24:12Yeah.
24:14For me, it's just about eating healthy, living life.
24:18I gym almost every day.
24:19We went to the gym once, didn't we, mate?
24:22Yeah.
24:22What, is that a vending machine?
24:26I would say that Reuben finds fat people disgusting.
24:29I'm one for banter, but there's a time and a place.
24:32I think someone might need to, like, bring him down a peg or two.
24:37Reuben probably doesn't believe in what my business stands for,
24:40but I would like him to treat me with respect.
24:44You don't have to find someone attractive to treat them with kindness.
24:48It is going to be a massive struggle to stay in this.
24:58So this is our driveway.
25:00In Suffolk, barmaid Tilly is arriving at millionaire Antony's country manor.
25:11There he is.
25:13Home at last.
25:14Hello.
25:14Look who I've got to introduce you to.
25:16Oh, my God.
25:17It's a proper handcuff job.
25:18I've missed you, sweetheart.
25:19I've missed you too.
25:21Gosh.
25:22Here we are.
25:24Come through.
25:25Come through.
25:27Welcome home, Tilly.
25:29Hello.
25:30How's Taz?
25:32I'm good having you.
25:32Very nice to see you.
25:34Yes, thank you.
25:35Tilly.
25:36Nice to meet you.
25:36This is Taz.
25:38Nice to meet you.
25:39Taz is our resident cook.
25:42Taz cooked at Windsor Castle for the Royals,
25:44so she's very well trained,
25:46and she looks after us like an egg in a case here.
25:51Let's go and sit down and enjoy ourselves.
25:54Oh, look at this.
25:55It's lovely, isn't it?
25:58Antony is keen to begin his masterclass in manners.
26:02We're going to have some Pimms,
26:03so why don't you come with me onto the terrace.
26:07Without wishing to be pompous or arrogant about it,
26:10I want you to ease her into it.
26:12She's going to be a little nervous, I think, to start off with.
26:17Thank you very much.
26:28I'm finding it hard to find the words
26:31to say
26:35what the fuck is going on here.
26:37It's mental.
26:38It's fucking mental here, man.
26:41You're very good health, my love.
26:42Cheers, very good health.
26:44It's very nice to see how the other half live.
26:47Very nice.
26:48Come and join us, darling.
26:49Q.
26:50Cheers.
26:51Cheers.
26:52Cheers.
26:54But listen,
26:55you don't become really successful by being nicey-nicey.
26:59You've probably got to be a bit of an arsehole sometimes.
27:07But Antony has saved the best for last.
27:11Come and meet the rest of the family, my love.
27:23That's fucking beautiful, that.
27:25Let me introduce you.
27:27And it's a significant part of my life.
27:29And if Tilly has to know me,
27:31she's got to know my passions.
27:341937, Rolls-Royce Hooper designed body,
27:37and the first proper owner was the Prince of Wales.
27:41I feel like I'm about to cry.
27:43You are crying.
27:46She's crying.
27:47I don't like her.
27:49She's crying.
27:50She's crying.
27:50Why are you crying?
27:51I don't know.
27:54I don't know.
27:55Come on, Tilly.
27:57I've never seen so many nice cars ever in my entire life.
28:01I've got to fart, but I can't fart in this car.
28:04Sorry.
28:06Come on.
28:07Okay.
28:10So this is Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith 2.
28:13And this is the exact specification of my late father's Rolls-Royce.
28:17And that was the car that he told me to get out of and walk.
28:23About five miles from our house, my father stopped the car and said,
28:26what have you done to earn money to buy this car?
28:30And I said, well, I'm 12.
28:32I'm enjoying it with you.
28:33I'm enjoying your success.
28:35To which he said, we'll get out and walk the rest of the way home.
28:38And he drove off and left me on the side of the road.
28:42I was heartbroken.
28:45It was an understatement.
28:48He was very hard on me.
28:51Brutal.
28:52I wasn't quite the son he expected.
28:54I think that was the problem.
28:57It leaves an indelible mark you can never get rid of.
29:00Do you feel like you started your whole car collection to prove to him?
29:05Yes.
29:06Yeah, definitely.
29:07I wish he was here to see it now.
29:11His dad sounds like a prick, innit?
29:13That proper.
29:16It explains a lot.
29:18I think people's relationship with their parents signifies the rest of your life.
29:24Do you feel happy in your life now?
29:27Oh, yeah.
29:28Absolutely.
29:29And I'll be happy when we complete this process and we win.
29:33LAUGHTER
29:35LAUGHTER
29:46Where are we off to?
29:48In Somerset, ex-prison officer George is doing his best
29:52to settle into Sir Ben's ancestral home.
29:55Oh, no, no, no.
29:56Nigel, come here.
29:57Nigel, come here.
29:59You bad dog.
30:01Oh, you are...
30:02Please tell me he's not named after Farage.
30:04Yes, he's Nigel.
30:05Is he?
30:06The other one's Boris Johnson.
30:07Hello.
30:07Boris!
30:08Get in there.
30:09Boris!
30:11You...
30:12Get in there.
30:13Quasi!
30:15Quasi, come here.
30:16Quasi.
30:18Quasi's a good dog.
30:21After Quasi-Quarting?
30:22Yeah.
30:23Do you have any animals that are not named after right-wing politicians?
30:26No.
30:27No?
30:28This whole thing is dream sequence shit.
30:31It's fucked up.
30:33He's set in his ways.
30:34He's older.
30:35But if you want to do this experiment,
30:37I will only do it searching for the good-wing people.
30:43These lovely, politically incorrect statues?
30:48They are correct.
30:49These people were princes.
30:51They don't look like princes.
30:52They look like they're in servitude.
30:54How do you know they're black slaves?
30:55Well, look, they've got loincloths on in submission, right?
30:58So, let me ask you...
30:59Oh, what do you mean they're in submission?
31:00Of course they're in submission.
31:01Do you know why they're like that?
31:02Because they've got their hands up.
31:03Please help me.
31:04No.
31:04No, you're doing that.
31:05It's because a glass table goes on top.
31:08You're an educated man.
31:09You know about the slave trade in England?
31:11Yeah, I know a bit about it.
31:12A good Negro was worth $1,500 on the slave block in New Orleans.
31:17I have cousins in North Carolina...
31:20It's getting angry.
31:20...who are the...
31:20Yeah, I am.
31:21It's getting angry.
31:21Because you don't know.
31:23I don't know.
31:23They did the...
31:24Yeah, you don't.
31:25Why don't I know?
31:25Because they did their slave trade.
31:26Because I'm working class and I'm ill-educated.
31:29Don't assume, because I've got a Cockney accent
31:30and I'm working class, that I do and I don't know stuff.
31:33I educated myself from a child.
31:35Did you?
31:36Yes, I fucking did.
31:37Because my mum taught me that.
31:38That the upper classes will put you down, son.
31:42And I will not have any bastard say to me,
31:44you don't know.
31:45I don't give a fuck.
31:46Well, I can uncuff now.
31:47I will not have people saying, you don't know.
31:49Because you might be fucking amazed at what I do know.
31:57As the couples come to terms with life chained just inches apart...
32:01What a relief, that one.
32:05To stay in the running for the £100,000 prize,
32:10they'll also have to try finding common ground.
32:18Normally, I would always be on the roadside with a lady.
32:22Why?
32:22To protect her from traffic or anything driving past.
32:25Oh, I don't even accept it.
32:25In Manchester, body positive Joe is taking fitness fanatic Ruben to her favourite restaurant.
32:34Well, this is us, is it?
32:35As the day has gone on, I've tried to take it as best as I can.
32:39Ruben isn't the sort of person that I would have in my life.
32:44So it is very, very tough.
32:47What are you thinking?
32:49I almost fancy something a little bit naughty.
32:52Oh, eh?
32:52Something like a cheesy, slutty pasta.
32:55Yeah, push the boat out.
32:57I train so fucking hard to offset the amount of food I eat.
33:01I would be absolutely ripped if I didn't eat the way I do.
33:06Having a treat every now and then, it's not naughty.
33:08It's not good or bad.
33:10It's not.
33:11But it is when it turns into a binge.
33:14I do not have a limit on how much I can eat.
33:17I can eat and eat and eat and eat to the point where I feel shit and I make myself
33:22sick.
33:22I've done that multiple, multiple times.
33:24Really?
33:25Yeah.
33:26The food is so addictive and it's such quick dopamine.
33:30Yeah.
33:31People say, oh, it's all right, just have one.
33:33But I can't just have one, which is, it's hard.
33:39Life is all about discipline.
33:42If I look in the mirror and I've got some love handles and I'm looking overweight,
33:45I tell myself, Reuben, you're a fat ****, you need to sort it out.
33:49Just shut up and get on with it.
33:52Because when you look in the mirror and you feel shit, life's just shit.
33:56The thing is, I always feel guilty after.
33:59But you don't have to.
34:00I don't ever deny myself.
34:03If I want something, I'll have a little bit of it, you know?
34:07The problem is, though, I always want it.
34:10Are you having that last bit?
34:11No, I'm OK, I'm stuffed, but thank you.
34:13You have it, you go for it.
34:16Very kind.
34:20Yeah, dinner was lovely tonight, I thought.
34:23Thought we got on really well.
34:25I think.
34:26Ha-ha!
34:28Finding out that Reuben had issues with food was actually something that I expected.
34:33And I do not judge him for that.
34:36It was actually really nice and quite refreshing to be able to get, like, down to that kind of conversation.
34:46But there's still a long way to go.
34:58Now, hold on, hold on.
35:00I'll talk about this chap.
35:03In Somerset, former prison officer George hasn't given up trying to understand Sir Ben.
35:09Yet.
35:10We're not exactly cut from the same cloth, are we?
35:13I mean, you know, with Hitler and fucking slaves.
35:17The bad is on display.
35:19It's not being hidden.
35:21But I think it's a human being in there.
35:23When I was a prison officer, I've spent a lot of time with people who build up personas.
35:28And it always used to be my job to sort of get underneath that a little bit and find out
35:32about the person.
35:35Are these all family members?
35:36Yeah.
35:37That's Mike, your brother, or are you?
35:38You get on well with him?
35:40He dropped dead, unfortunately.
35:41Yeah, but did you get on well with him?
35:42Yeah, he was very good to me.
35:43Nice boat.
35:43Look, I was awful.
35:44I was on my own.
35:46And he was very, he always, he always.
35:48He was all right with you.
35:49Yeah, he taught me quite a lot.
35:53Unfortunately, my folks died on me.
35:55My brother died when I was 12.
35:56My mother died the next year.
35:58My uncle died the next year.
36:00Then my father died the next year.
36:01So nobody taught me anything.
36:03If you have literary parents and political parents, you've got a big advantage.
36:10You've got to be looked after.
36:11So I've had to survive.
36:12But that's what I'm trying to do.
36:13I'm trying to survive.
36:15That's my motto.
36:16My father was dead.
36:17My brother, they're all dead.
36:19Nobody believes me.
36:21But that's how shitty it was.
36:24I feel sorry for Ben.
36:26We all build our fortresses around ourselves to stop us being vulnerable again from things
36:30we went through.
36:32He likes to scare people off, I think, old Ben.
36:35He likes to shock them.
36:38But the man who doesn't change has wasted his life.
36:41You come across to me as a really nice man.
36:44I think there's a heart of gold in there.
36:49Oh dear.
36:50I don't know.
36:51Oh, it's terrible.
36:53Blub.
36:54Yeah.
36:55Come here.
36:55Come on.
36:56We don't do that round here.
36:57I do.
36:58God bless you, mate.
37:05In Suffolk,
37:09barmaid Tilly and car collector Antony are also getting to know each other better.
37:15Can I just have my arm up here?
37:17Yeah.
37:17That's nice, isn't it?
37:19Yeah.
37:23Today, the couple are leaving Antony's not-so-humble abode behind
37:27and heading for Tilly's in Enfield, North London.
37:30Oh, it stops.
37:32Now I'm packing for him, I'm just putting everything.
37:35I haven't got a clue what he's going to wear or not.
37:37People waiting on him, hand and foot, is quite apparent.
37:41He's got a PA, he's got a chef, he's got a gardener, he's got this, he's got that.
37:44He's got a chauffeur.
37:46No, leave it.
37:46You're not taking it down the stairs.
37:48We're not carrying it, we're leaving.
37:50Off we go.
37:50Antony, how are you feeling?
37:52A little apprehensive, but I'm sure it'll be fine.
38:01So, this is Enfield.
38:03Right.
38:04The fellow that invented Guinness Book of Records.
38:07Was that Norris McWhirter?
38:09Don't know.
38:10Murdered round the corner.
38:11Oh, murdered?
38:12Yeah, I think he was shot.
38:14Oh.
38:15Tilly is taking Antony to her childhood home.
38:18There she is, come on!
38:20Where the 37-year-old still lives with her mum.
38:26Hello, baby girl.
38:27I'm Maria.
38:29Right, hello.
38:30Hello.
38:31Hello.
38:33It's just that, the family base.
38:35This is my sister, Darcy.
38:37Darcy, hello.
38:37Lovely to meet you.
38:38It's loud, it's chaotic, there's kids running around, blah, blah, blah.
38:42And it's like this all the time.
38:44It's very loud.
38:45This is my best friend, Alex, I'm so sorry.
38:48This is Eni.
38:49Hello.
38:49Hi.
38:50This is Anthony.
38:51It's a completely different gearing, is the word I'm going to use, to my life.
38:57And a different sound level.
39:02Oi, oi.
39:04I think he's finding it a little bit overwhelming.
39:07But listen, I think if you gave Antony a microphone, he would, you know, he can talk.
39:14Fucking hell, he gives me a run for my money.
39:16I bought my first Rolls and Bentley when I was 21.
39:18The car which actually brought Tilly to tears, believe it or not, is the 1937 Hooper that would
39:24belong to Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson, which is a very beautiful car.
39:28What are your first impressions of Antony?
39:30Antony, quite talkative.
39:32He's not afraid to say how lucky he's been.
39:37How many cars do you have in total?
39:38About 85.
39:4085?
39:41Wow.
39:41About 65 of them are Rolls-Royce and Bentleys.
39:43The rest are the makes.
39:45Yeah.
39:45Jaguars and Mercedes and things that I've picked up along the way.
39:48Listen, everybody likes their time to shine, innit?
39:52But maybe it was a one-sided conversation, which is telling.
40:01Mrs Tumnus is her name.
40:03She is adored.
40:05That is the person that I'm matched up with, ever so slightly self-centred.
40:11Bye.
40:12Bye.
40:14How do he and Tilly seem to be getting on?
40:17Fine at the moment.
40:19But I...
40:20Is it the lull before the storm?
40:27Help!
40:29Help!
40:29Time is 5 to 7.
40:31Oh, my God.
40:33Right.
40:34OK.
40:35Action station.
40:35I'm underdressed.
40:36It's all systems go for ex-prison officer George
40:39as aristocrat Sir Ben prepares for an elite dinner party.
40:44Great Gatsby.
40:45That's me.
40:46I give big parties and everybody gets a drink.
40:49Oh, for God's sake.
40:50Party!
40:51Party!
40:52Open the wine as soon as possible, can you?
40:54OK.
40:55And ventilate it.
40:57If you live in one of these houses, you've got to get it right.
41:02I'm in command in my own house.
41:04I don't take prisoners.
41:06Come here, you.
41:07Where are we going, Ben?
41:08Get the white wine out and open it.
41:10He's barking at the fucking service.
41:12I mean, it's not fucking upstairs, downstairs.
41:14It's not the 19th century.
41:15Unless you want gob in your food,
41:16because I know if I was serving him, what he'd get.
41:19You've got a temper on you, haven't you?
41:20Stop worrying.
41:21It'll all come out in the rain.
41:22Hold on these people to do things.
41:24It's your son.
41:25No, no, no, no.
41:26Now you're doing my best.
41:27It's not fucking good enough, actually.
41:28Now, here, excuse me, excuse me.
41:30He's a boss,
41:31and he's used to shouting at people and making staff jump.
41:35Thank you, Harry.
41:36So kind.
41:40We've got some interesting people come,
41:42and we can have an interesting discussion.
41:46You know, we're just with our mouth.
41:48We've got all the...
41:49All the drugs and pills.
41:50Yes, indeed.
41:51WHISTLE BLOWS
41:52What the fuck am I doing here?
41:56When I have a vision of the upper-class toff,
41:59that's Francis.
42:01Oh, Lord, you're all alone.
42:05And then you've got me,
42:07Jellied Eels and Byer Mesh.
42:09Big build and a bald head.
42:11They've already summed up,
42:12you're a Neanderthal knuckle-drager.
42:15I always think of me mum,
42:16and I think I'm going to show people
42:18that we're more than what people think of us.
42:22Nigel Farage.
42:24He is the most dynamic politician
42:27that has been in this country for 20 years.
42:30You know, it's all logical.
42:36So said a man in Munich in 1938.
42:39Oh, God.
42:41I am a studier of history,
42:43and I know populism when it turns its head up out of the turret,
42:46and it says,
42:47I'm the answer,
42:48but it's never been the answer.
42:50What the hell are those?
42:50She's taking to vote for her.
42:52Oh, in the same way,
42:53it was exciting to vote for Mussolini,
42:55and Hitler,
42:56and Trump.
42:57There's an element in all of it
42:58which wants an adventure.
43:00With respect,
43:01you're sitting in a far nicer place than me
43:04to have that adventure.
43:06Well, I don't think that.
43:07No, I wouldn't agree at all.
43:08You know what you are.
43:10You're out of the class.
43:11Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining.
43:13I can't sleep.
43:15The greatest thing in this country,
43:17I might be wrong,
43:18is the NHS.
43:18The NHS will be finished with Farage.
43:20Two billion pounds a year
43:22is spent on legal cases.
43:25How much was spent on bombing Iraq?
43:29I haven't a clue.
43:30You haven't a clue.
43:30Do you know why you haven't a clue?
43:31Because when we bomb brown people,
43:33we don't care how much it costs.
43:35When people are running at you, George,
43:37you can't tell me it's 10 feet of bullying.
43:40I give up, actually.
43:41I really do.
43:41I give up.
43:48Ben, hold on.
43:49Don't go pulling.
43:50With dinner over,
43:52Sir Ben is far from satisfied.
43:55Why would you do that?
43:57Don't talk down to me.
43:58It's infuriating.
43:59I'm having it rammed down my throat
44:02by woke people.
44:03Oh, woke.
44:05George's politics are wearing thin
44:07on the Lord of the Manor.
44:09Ben, let's talk on an equal footing.
44:11Let's talk on an equal footing.
44:13I've got to have a peer.
44:15You know, you're going to go to bed
44:16and be awake all night
44:17with him rolling around
44:18and me snoring.
44:19Yeah, great.
44:21I want my phone.
44:23There's the rules.
44:24No, it's my house.
44:25I want my fucking phone now.
44:28I've got problems.
44:29Well, we've all got fucking problems.
44:30The pair's mobiles
44:31are being held by the producers
44:33in an effort to make them
44:34focus on each other.
44:35You don't like the word no.
44:37I spent 12 years in prison
44:38with people who didn't like
44:38the word no.
44:39We used to actually have a saying
44:40of what part of fucking no
44:42don't you understand?
44:43Come on, stop moaning.
44:46I have to check
44:47what's happening in the world.
44:48We've been really clear
44:49about not having any phones.
44:51I'm not messing.
44:51I mean it.
44:52I want it.
44:54Are you going to get it or not?
44:55I'm not, no.
44:56Get my phone.
44:57No.
44:58Okay, right.
45:00Hold on, Ben.
45:00Think of me.
45:01No, no, no, no.
45:02Ben, I know you're angry
45:03but don't call me everywhere.
45:04No, they're not messing with me.
45:05I'm not a Jack Russell.
45:06I don't think they'll fucking tell me
45:08what I'll fucking do
45:09in my own fucking house.
45:10I'll fucking tell them.
45:11They'll fuck with me.
45:13They're a bunch of woodders.
45:14Ben, what's going on?
45:15Boat cutters now.
45:16Where's John?
45:17Don't drag me.
45:18Where's John?
45:19No.
45:20Come on, John.
45:21Come on, let's go.
45:22There's no contact.
45:23Do not push me to get your hand
45:25off my camera.
45:25Yeah, yeah, lock the door, John.
45:27John, look.
45:28I'm all right.
45:28Knock the door, John.
45:31That's right.
45:32You tell them, John.
45:33Good boy.
45:34Out the way.
45:37We've got cutters.
45:38We can cut it anyway.
45:40Sure you want to do this?
45:41Yeah, I have to.
45:41Are you sure you...
45:42I've got no choice.
45:44They don't try to treat me
45:44like that in the own house.
45:46I can tell them.
45:47Right.
45:48I don't want to be part
45:49of all this cutters.
45:51He's mad at us.
45:53I did my bit.
45:56I think he's a bit off more than he can chew.
45:58Pressure's a funny thing, mate.
46:00It was all just getting to him.
46:02And I think it sounded like a sexy idea,
46:05being handcuffed and fucking being on national television
46:08and all that.
46:08But when you've got to pay the men
46:09and you've got to actually fucking do it,
46:11it's a different ballgame.
46:12Nice meeting you.
46:13You're handcuffed, John.
46:14I know.
46:15Not mine.
46:15I'm my handcuffs on.
46:17I'm sorry, but I'm in command in my own house.
46:22If I say I want it, I want it and I get it.
46:25So I'm cuffed.
46:27I got my man, John.
46:28And he got the ball cutters and he can't uncuff me.
46:31You think I'm just an old pussy, you know,
46:34and an easy rollover.
46:36But actually, I'm a street fighter.
46:39Sorry about that, but I am.
46:41George is a tough guy.
46:43I think secretly George is quite right wing.
46:46But he pretends he's Karl Marx,
46:49but, you know, we don't take any notice of that.
46:55I think I can look myself in the mirror.
46:58I think I've done the working class proud.
47:00People always underestimate the Copley
47:03and I could just behind me back
47:05hear me mum pissing herself laughing
47:08and saying, I'm so fucking proud of you, son.
47:41Are you ready to join me in my little game?
47:43I'm a massive prude.
47:45I make gay porn.
47:47Stuck in the middle with you.
47:53People that are working cannot afford to live.
47:56Well, where are they?
47:57They're here.
47:58It's me.
47:59Enough!
48:01I won't tolerate it, lady.
48:05This is about survival.
48:07I'm with you.
48:08Don't be stepping away, mate.
48:11I need to get up.
48:12I need to be left alone.
48:14God love you.
48:15I'm amazed that you've survived this.
48:19Remember why we're doing this, though?
48:21I don't care, Ace.
48:22It's not worth it to me.
48:23If I win, she wins.
48:30And we're meeting more pairs tomorrow night at 9pm.
48:33Hopefully, they'll last a little longer than 12 hours.
48:37More handcuffed last pair standing.
48:40And speaking of heat, do you want yours with or without?
