Rob & Romesh Vs Team GB: Winter Special

Thu, 9pm, Sky Max & Sky Showcase (box set, Sky Box Sets & NOW)

With the Winter Olympics being held in Italy in February, Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan make a belated effort to secure a spot on Team GB when they tackle a selection of winter sports in a two-part special to mark the upcoming Games in Milan and Cortina.

The comedy pals try out a range of disciplines, assisted by ski-jump legend Eddie 'the Eagle' Edwards and Olympic curling medallists Eve Muirhead and Bobby Lammie.

This week, the pair are in Switzerland to learn to bobsleigh at St Moritz with Team GB's Brad Hall and take part in the Biathlon World Championships in Lenzerheide, where they must navigate a cross-country race that combines skiing and rifle shooting.
