ROB & ROMESH vs STRONGMEN
Sky Max, 9pm
ROB Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan are good at making idiots of themselves – in fact, they have made this entire hit TV series based on this concept.
“We’re ready to throw ourselves into the most weird and wonderful worlds,” says Rob.
In this fourth run, the comedians take on the West End, appearing in Disney’s The Lion King musical, and they also head into restaurant management, opening their own genuine venue. Tonight, they throw themselves into the world of strongmen, witnessing displays of insane strength up close at an event called Giants Live in Glasgow.
“Do you think we’re going to be the weediest blokes in there?” asks Romesh, knowing the answer.
They then visit Iceland to train with powerlifting and strongman legend Magnus Ver Magnusson, before going head to head, competing at a festival to find out which of them is actually the strongest.
Definitely weird and wonderful.
