Total Wipeout Intro - Re-Edit

Ok I'm a big wipeout fan but the UK version is really slow paced.
This is just a re-edit to see what it's like with, what I think is, the far superior intro theme of the american edition.

Hopefully bbc will get this fixed for series 2 and make it much lighter hearted.

I'm not criticizing either one..but I noticed how American shows have to be made so dramatic for them to find it entertaining o_O

[TotalWipeoutUK]

which is odd in this case as the american version is much more light hearted and ours tries to be more dramatic :s

what?!

[angelicMisha]

That's how it should be done! I spent Saturday night watching the American version on YouTube and couldn't stop laughing. The BBC need to get Hammond a co-host to do a bit of banter or SOMETHING, the UK version is quite..mediocre. :(

[TotalWipeoutUK]

i agree. it'd be better if i hadn't already seen how great the american version is. it just puts ours to shame.

[Pilkingtube]

americans don't get most british sarcasm, irony etc..

Total Wipeout - because Craig Charles was busy doing something else.

The show would be better if they got Jeremy Clarkson to commentate with Richard Hammond, but it just falls flat.

@jordanhass Yeah, that'd be funny. RH: Let the games begin! JC: SSSSSHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTT UUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP, HHAAMMOONNDD!

I much prefer the UK one to be honest.. I love british Comedy;D.

[KattiSatti]

I think the UK version is much better than the American, I love British humour and I think Richard Hammond does a great job. :)

In every episode of this the host says "Best/greatest/most extraordinary obstical course ever" ... Those ptresenters have obviously never seen takeshi's castle

[OmmTigers]

@musicmaniagirl08

in my opinion, you are soo right

[sofeecat]

Awesome! And I totally agree. I don't hate the BBC version but it is too slow paced. I usually don't like any US game shows, mainly because I think they're always super dramatic and slightly fake, but their version of wipeout made me laugh so much more than ours. It sucks in comparison and you can make excuses like 'British comedy is different' but that doesn't explain the nauseatingly slow commentary and the camera concentrating on one person for seemingly half an hour. I wish it was like this!
