Here's a little gem from the schedules of Channel Five that may not sound too promising, but turned out to be a great little series. I don't know if it's going to be repeated, or syndicated overseas, but do check it out if you get the chance. The idea is that comedians Rory McGrath and Paddy McGuinness tour the country, competing in various eccentric/unusual/obscure sports. Over the four weeks, we see them try their hands at cheese-rolling, caravan racing, mountain bike bog snorkelling, nettle-eating, axe-throwing, Eton fives, swamp soccer, toe-wrestling, and shin-kicking -- amongst others.

Somebody's put a clip up on YouTube:
