Mark Watson in the arms of a Gladiator

Mark Watson finishes the first episode of his Live Address to the Nation in the arms of James Crossley, aka Hunter from the TV series Gladiator.

The audience at home were asked to choose whether Mark should finish the show with a display of physical or mental strength; they chose mental. In this clip, Tim Key and Tom Basden shout insults at Mark while Hunter (who was standing by in case the audience chose a physical task) cradles Mark.

Featuring: Tom Basden, Tim Key, Mark Watson & Hunter.
