Rory and Paddy's Great British Adventure
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:

Ooh, I saw some of that! It was funny. Have you seen the bed race? That takes place in the town where my mother, stepdad, and siblings live ^^ They saw Rory McGrath go past when he was in it. I've seen it a couple of times, but sadly not this year.
