Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan are playing with fire as they tackle Hollywood's toughest job

STUNT squad

As Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan return with three new episodes of their hilarious Sky Max challenge show, the comedian chums push themselves to their limits as they take on the worlds of Hollywood stunts, heavy metal and mixed martial arts.

In this week’s opener, the pair set out to become stunt doubles. After meeting with The Fall Guy stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, they train with director David Leitch and his stunt team in Los Angeles, even agreeing to be set alight on a Universal Studios backlot – before the daring duo return home to show off their new skills on Hollyoaks!

TV&Satellite Week joined Beckett, 38, and Ranganathan, 46, to learn more…

imageYou seem to have a lot of fun filming the series. But does it test your friendship, too?

Beckett I think doing something very stressful, like being set on fire or performing a song in front of 40,000 heavy-metal fans, makes our friendship stronger. I don’t think I could do it without Rom. He supports me as a friend but he also cracks me up, so it brings us closer together.
