Running Commentary

Sunshine over North London, as Paul and Rob take the tour; Finsbury Park, Woodberry Down, Clissold Park, Highbury Field, Emirates Stadium, Gillespie Road Garden... and Finsbury Park. Beautiful, but challenging, with a lot of pollen in the air, and alcohol in the bloodstream. Featuring a host of stars including friend-of-the-show Mark Watson, reports from behind the curtain of comedy, a running rundown that shows the boys are getting back to fitness in spite of themselves, and a little bit of planking commentary.

This epic episode begins with disaster, turns into adventure, and becomes a dog-run-half-marathon. At least. No wonder it's so bloomin' long. Featuring crime, good deeds, how NOT to prepare for a marathon, mud, mucus, memories and much much more.
