This week, Joel Dommett's globe-trotting challenge show finds him off to Kenya to ascertain whether he's tough enough to live the life of a Maasai tribesman. He is soon being thrashed with sticks, mocked mercilessly for his piss-poor jumping skills, and force-fed goat, while his pal Nish Kumar stands there making quips and being surplus to requirements. Though Kumar does discover that his name means "no vagina" in Swahili, so there's that.
