BAFTA-nominated Rob & Romesh Vs will return to Sky One and NOW TV on 8 July. The second part of the third series will see Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan taking on Team GB across a number of sports, from weightlifting to canoeing, as well as going head-to-head with sporting icons including as Denise Lewis and Max Whitlock. The pair will also serve up a special episode with none other than tennis legend, Andy Murray.
Romesh Ranganathan says: “If you’re a massive fan of seeing Rob and I setting fire to our dignity, you will not be disappointed.”
Rob Beckett says: “Even in a pandemic nothing is going to stop me and Romesh from wearing ill-fitting clothes and making a fool of ourselves on television.”
R&R vs Team GB Part 1: Rob and Romesh are on a mission to see if they can join the ranks Team GB! Sick of being useless at sport, the duo try to find the one that even they can master. The first discipline they will be attempting is the canoe slalom, where Mallory Franklin and Kimberley Woods will send them down some sub-zero rapids. Next, they will try their hands at weightlifting before seeing if they have what it takes to be hockey goalkeepers. Hockey gold medallist and hero of the Rio Olympics Maddie Hinch will step in as their coach.
R&R vs Team GB Part 2: Rob and Romesh’s sporting journey continues as they continue their search to find a sport and join Team GB. The pair will attempt clay pigeon shooting with Aaron Heading, gymnastics with sporting hero Max Whitlock and athletics with gold medallist Denise Lewis. Will they find their sport?
R&R vs Andy Murray: In this very special edition of Rob and Romesh Vs, Rob and Romesh will be hanging out with British sporting legend, Sir Andy Murray. They’ll catch up with him as he models his new sports wear range, before being pushed to their limits in a tennis training session and Andy’s favourite hobby, road cycling. Their mission is to try to get to know what makes the greatest British tennis player of all time really tick
R&R vs almost everything: The final episode will showcase the very best bits from the last three series of the BAFTA-nominated show. See the boys become drag queens, dance with dancehall legends in Kingston Jamaica, go on a very special safari in South Africa, perform with Birmingham royal ballet and get a rather invasive treatment in Hollywood.
The safety and well-being of cast, production teams and all those involved with the series is the top priority, while production company CPL and Sky are working to keep the shows as close to the original format as possible within current government guidelines.
