Rob and Sara play charades

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Sara, standing on a bench on the bank of the river, immediately recognises Rob, who is on the far bank. However, Rob has no idea who he’s paired up with, and shouts “Who are you?” across the river. Sara mishears this, and yells back “I’m alright! How are you?”. Rob then asks Sara what her name is, which very much confuses her. In the studio, Alex confirms that they had been stood about 500 feet apart. Back at the river, Rob starts the game by trying to mime The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Sara identifies that it is a book, and then Rob does a very half-hearted impression of a lion roaring and waving it’s paw. He then seems to give up, as he then shouts “Mad Max?”. Sara comments that Rob isn’t doing much and that, unless the book he’s trying to mime is called “The Boring Shrug”, she has no idea what it is. Rob moves on to trying to mime The Bible, just as a plane flies overhead, meaning that he can’t hear anything Sara says for some time. As Rob starts gesturing to the plane, Sara asks if it’s something to do with football. She then just starts guessing random titles, including Gone with the Wind, War and Peace, Sense and Sensibility, and The Beach. Rob can’t hear anything, but Sara continues with 1984, Animal Farm, Eastenders, Neighbours, and Strictly Come Dancing. Rob is getting more and more annoyed with the task, but starts looking through the cards he’s holding and spots that one of them is, indeed, 1984. Rob then starts trying to do a charade for a film, but Sara has been distracted by a small dog (called Nelly) on its walk. Rob then tries to mime All the Single Ladies by Beyonce by imitating the iconic dance from the music video. Sara starts guessing various songs which have ‘walk’ or ‘walking’ in the title, including Walking on the Moon. Rob gets annoyed at Sara’s guesses, but she does eventually land on the correct song title, just before their time is up. In the studio, Alex reveals that Sara had correctly guessed 1984 and War and Peace, and that a passer-by had correctly guessed Batman, without Rob having done anything to try to communicate them. However, with a score of seven correct answers out of 20, the team earns zero points.
