Episode synopsis

In this episode the contestants must throw and catch an item, steal the world's best bun, make a moustache from something unexpected, pack all the luggage and drive it 'abroad', fish from the 'risk pond', drop a letter, move water from one tub to another, and get dressed while wearing handcuffs.

Alternate Titles

  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'Suur pullaryöstö', which translates as 'The Great Bun Robbery'. This is a reference to the 'Steal the world’s best bun' task, and also possibly a reference to The Great Train Robbery (a real crime in which £2.3 million was stolen from a Royal Mail train in England, in 1963).
