Our two budding journalists venture to the north east for their first set of dispatches, this week for the Blackpool Gazette. Josh and Nish's first job is to hit the seafront and get the views of locals, before meeting a local strongman who is setting a world record for lifting a beer keg with his eye sockets.
Steam train enthusiast Josh is keen on reporting on a historic railway line, but gets a nasty surprise when Nish chooses to cover a sea survival training course - not great for Widdicombe as he can't swim.
