RORY & PADDY’S GREAT BRITISH ADVENTURE - CHANNEL 5 - IWC
PRODUCER/DIRECTOR - 1 x 45’
Great Britain. Quaint windmills, a bracing coastline and pastoral country pubs. But behind the village boozers are boozy villagers competing in obscure sports that defy the health and safety brigade, and laugh in the face of logic. Paddy McGuinness and Rory McGrath are travelling the British Isles, taking each other on in sports so eccentric only the British play them.
The comedians join other Brits competing in toe wrestling, worm charming, bog cycling, and a caravan destruction derby.
“If Five were asked to make a promotional film for Americans on England’s quaint nature then Rory & Paddy’s Great British Adventure would have hit the spot…. The eccentricities that make Britain great got their minutes of fame… It makes a change to give these genuine characters airtime.” METRO, 14/08/08
