[contestant Ben Chambers and co-host Amanda Byram are dancing in front of the camera]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] This is dance! This is Byram! And this is the show's choreographer ... Benny, a librarian from Hackney.
[the red-headed male librarian (wearing tights) does the splits, as "comical" fart sound effects are played]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Wow, that's really good ... Bravo! I've seen "Phantom" and I actually think this is better!
[he finishes with an awkward backwards roll, as Amanda covers her eyes]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Yeah, okay, I admit ... The end needs a bit of work. There, peters out a bit.
[cut to Benny running the show's obstacle course]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Back to the competition. Bolshoi Benny takes on Granny's House ... So graceful. So dainty. Nice toes.
[he runs past a cardboard cutout of an old-fashioned house, when he slips and falls on his face]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] I believe that was a swan dive ... Naughty toes.
[he gets back up, but a swinging door knocks him off the course and into the water below]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Oh, that's just gone all wrong there, he just fell in.
[the replay shows Benny vaulting over the fake dog in front of the house, before running into the door]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Benny jumps over Teves, makes a bit of a mess of that ... Bolshoi won't be happy.
[cut to Benny at the next stage of the obstacle course, where the contestant must run across a set of giant rubber spheres to get to the other side]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Bolshoi Benny, Big Balls ... Time for a grand jete.
[Benny bounces off the first Big Ball, slips, hits his head on the third Big Ball, then falls into the water below]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Oh no! Oh!
[cut to Amanda standing near the pool, speaking directly to the camera]
AMANDA BYRAM: He's in Swan Lake!
[cut to a replay of Benny falling]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Yeah, I think you'll find this is more of a Nut Cracker ...
[cut to Benny preparing to run the Log Jam, where the contestant must make his way across a number of unstable platforms]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] It's time for the final act ...
[he attempts to vault over a blockade to get onto the first platform, and nearly falls]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Oh, Benny tried some sort of complicated move there ...
[cut to a replay of the move]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Didn't really pull it off ... unless he meant that. Doubt it.
[cut to Benny attempting to move onto the second platform, as the camera zooms in on Amanda watching from the sidelines]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Even the toast rack's a ballet critic ...
AMANDA BYRAM: Oh, look at him pirouette his way to the finish line!
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] So Bolshoi Benny begins the glorious transformation from ugly duckling ...
[he makes it to the second platform, which begins wildly vibrating]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] To beautiful swan!
[he holds on desperately to keep from falling off]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] Oh, that is beautiful. It's ... the elegance! Oh, the grace!
AMANDA BYRAM: Oh, it's all very Bolshoi!
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] There we go ... Any moment now. Are we ready? It's gonna be big, it's gonna be quite a finish.
[the platform finally succeeds in knocking him off and into the water]
RICHARD HAMMOND: [in voice over] It's ... Oh, maybe not.
[cut to Benny, soaking wet, speaking directly to the camera]
BEN CHAMBERS: Well, I'm glad to see that I haven't got mud on me shoes, anyway ... Haven't got any mud on my white tights!
