The UK just hit 35°C and immediately fell apart. Again. Two Brits in 42°C Vietnam watch the chaos and ask why their home country can't cope with a warm day.

The UK has broken its hottest-ever May record, and Jack and Adam break down the annual ritual: tropical nights, hosepipe bans, cancelled trains, and the genuinely serious cold-water-shock warnings as people get into difficulty in lakes and rivers still at winter temperatures. 

Plus why one third of the country can't swim a length, why Spain copes with 42°C and Britain doesn't, and whether a warmer UK would actually be such a bad thing.
