Summary
Highlights
The Sidemen begin their most expensive road trip from Southend Pier to Brighton Pier. Along the way, they will change cars multiple times, choosing between a good, average, or bad car. Each car comes with a task, with harder tasks assigned to better cars. The first challenge is a 'hook a duck' race to determine the starting order.
The teams choose their first cars. Josh and Ethan pick the green car, Harry and Vic get the red car, and Toby and Jamie get the white car. The first task requires teams to go through a drive-thru and have a YouTuber with over 2 million subscribers order their food via FaceTime. This leads to humorous struggles with contact numbers and unexpected breakfast-only menus.
The teams arrive at the first car swap location. Jamie and Toby choose the mid car (Ghostbuster's Mobile), while Harry and Vic are left with the 'good car' (Batmobile) due to other teams' choices. The challenge is to dress up as the theme of their car. Josh and Ethan, being last, are left with the 'bad car' (a three-wheeled 'Dinger') and face difficulties driving it.
Jamie and Toby successfully complete their task, spending exactly £44.44 on presents for Simon across two locations. Harry and Vic are still struggling with their Batmobile. Harry and Vic take the 'mid car' (a Suzuki Jimny) for the next leg, while Josh and Ethan decide to take the 'good car' (a Dodge Ram) despite its size. Teams continue to navigate misdirections and vehicle difficulties.
Harry and Vic arrive first at the next checkpoint, having skillfully managed their budget task. They decide to take the 'good car,' which turns out to be a Bugatti Chiron. Their task is to give a 60-second public speech about eggs while standing higher than street level. Meanwhile, Josh and Ethan get the 'bad car' (a vintage Mustang), and Toby and Jamie get the 'mid car' (a Porsche 928). The Bugatti proves challenging to drive due to its left-hand drive and immense value.
The Mustang team (Josh and Ethan) faces a series of unfortunate events, including a broken car that eventually runs out of fuel and breaks down. Their task is to hit over 60 in three darts and measure their bicep circumference. They manage to complete the task with some creative dart throwing and measurements. Harry and Vic are experiencing technical issues with their car, including a warning about low fuel, leading to a breakdown.
All teams move to the next car swap, which features electric vehicles. Josh and Ethan choose the 'good car' (a Porsche Taycan). Their task is to sculpt their car out of Play-Doh. Harry and Vic choose the 'medium car' (a black cab), and their task is to get a passenger to ride with them for at least one mile. Toby and Jamie are stuck with the 'bad car' (a milk float), whose task is to lie down in a bed.
The teams embark on the final leg of the race. Harry and Vic are back in their mini, with the task of buying any Sidemen product from Iceland. Toby and Jamie, in their slow milk float, manage to complete their 'bed' task with the help of a hotel. Harry and Vic face Google Maps glitches which makes the Iceland search difficult. The race intensifies as they all rush to Brighton Pier.
After a chaotic final sprint, Harry and Vic arrive first at Brighton Pier and are crowned the winners. Jamie and Toby come in second, with Josh and Ethan finishing in third place. The video concludes with the Sidemen reflecting on the challenges, car choices, and humorous moments of their epic road trip.
