Episode 8: Their water’s so delicious

Episode synopsis

In this series finale, the contestants must bring in the most awkward item to take home, transport a coconut as far as possible, draw the best graph, write and perform a song about a stranger, and throw an egg through a basketball hoop. Also, Sally Phillips unwittingly goes head-to-head with Alex in a contest to make the most fish puns.

Title context

'Their water’s so delicious' was something that Bob Mortimer said about the urine of a certain Scottish population during the 'Create the best graph' task.
