Episode 5: Meat
Episode synopsis
In this episode the contestants must bring in the cutest thing, slide as far as possible, don some diving gear while maintaining small talk with a Swede, do incompatible things with a bathtub, throw something into something else, and make the longest continuous noise. In a thrilling tie-breaker, two contestants compete to eat the most peas.
Title context
'Meat' was what Greg Davies suggested that his and Alex's fictional company exported, as they roleplayed what people's reactions might be to the contestants' attempts in the 'Throw something into something' task.
