Episode 2: The Dong and the Gong

Summary

Greg Davies uses his position of power to make the five comics compete in more ludicrous tasks. In this second episode, find out why Dave Gorman has come over all bitey, why Rob Beckett has filled a shoebox with cement, and, most importantly, who surprises Alex Horne the most when he emerges from his shed after an hour cooped up inside.

Review

The panel of comedians are beginning to gel nicely now: the creativity needed to complete the show’s oddball parlour games brings out some high-class silliness. Comedy moments tumble past: there’s the sight of Al Murray, largely (in every sense) naked hitting a massive gong. There’s Rob Beckett attacking balloons with a pair of corkscrews. And there’s Paul Chowdhry debuting his new , admittedly quite sinister, children’s character “Brown Clown”. As host Greg Davies observes, “It’s a bit like watching the evolution of humankind, this show.”
