Episode synopsis

In this series finale, the contestants must bring in evidence of their most handsome relative, move water from one bucket to another, play charades across the Thames, create an impressive time-manipulated film, and keep the lowest unique number of doughnuts on a stick.

Title context

'The FIP' was an initialism coined by Alex Horne for 'Farty Ice Pop', a nickname given to Rob Beckett by Greg Davies during the 'Move water from one bucket to another' task.

Alternate Titles

  • On Denmark's TV2 Play streaming platform, this episode is titled 'FIP'en', which translates as 'The F.I.P.'.
  • On Finland's MTV Katsomo streaming platform, this episode is titled 'P.M.J.'. 'P.M.J.' is likely an abbreviation of 'Pieruisa mehujää', a rough translation of 'Farty ice pop'. [Translator credit: zador]
