Further details
In a game called Ham versus Hamster, a heated discussion about gravity and freefall nearly ends in a fight. Lou employs some outrageous techniques in a bid to raise David's heart rate.
The teams meet Britain's tallest man and former Harlem Globetrotter, Paul 'Tiny' Sturgess, as he takes on a weather balloon, and Bobby gets very worked up over whether a woman can run faster than fire. If you want to know the answer to this experiment, you'll have to tune in.
