Attempts

Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!

  • Iain, Lou and Paul threw the ball to each other in various locations around the UK, including Edinburgh and Brighton, as well as to Iain in New York. They covered 10,557 miles, but as Paul on his own covered 1,142 miles, he received 1 bonus point.
  • Joe and Sian pretended to be in various locations around the planet, with Joe pretending to be in Rome and 'space', whilst Sian stood next to Romesh Ranganathan in a single location, with Romesh claiming that they were in countries including New Zealand and Malaysia. They only actually covered 466 miles.
