Will and Ralf are putting their physical and mental strength to the test. They meet the World's Strongest Woman, learn calming Buddhist practices and challenge themselves in an explosive Hostile Environment Training drill.

Further details

Will and Ralf are putting their physical and mental strength to the test, as they explore what it really means to be 'strong' in the modern world. Their first stop is Wrexham, to meet Rebecca Roberts, winner of two World's Strongest Woman titles. Despite being the smallest people in the room, Will and Ralf are keen to test themselves. Under Rebecca's watchful eye, they attempt classic Strongman events with mixed results and some bizarre physical responses. But when it comes to pulling a truck, can they draw inspiration from Rebecca's impressive mental strength, and achieve the seemingly impossible?

Thinking about inner strength sends them back to their old haunt of Runcorn, where Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet of Crisps was set. Since Will and Ralf last visited, the Old Archer, the pub featured in the series, has undergone its own spiritual transformation. Now a Buddhist Temple, it just might be the perfect place to learn some techniques to unlock inner peace. But for Will and Ralf, this isn't as easy as it first seems and they must overcome their own bodily challenges and embarrassed giggles, before being put through their paces in the most eye-watering way, by a Thai masseur nicknamed 'Ninja Nun'.

Finally, Will and Ralf test out the skills they've learnt in the most explosive way possible by taking part in a Hostile Environment Training drill. Usually the preserve of people heading off to warzones, can Will and Ralf stay cool, calm and collected - even zen - when confronted with a bunch of terrifying strangers carrying guns, at an unexpected vehicle checkpoint?
