In this episode we taught the secrets of our art to John Torrode and Gregg Wallace from Masterchef. It was a week of food and bad jokes (Gregg tells jokes almost non-stop.)
The Human Pea was a highlight of the series. Such fun to do and great when not only you sucker people with the trick but even the deliberate mistake suckers people too! Gregg had a system to remember what hole to out his head up through at what time. It sounded more complicated than it needed to be. I hurt him a couple of times because he still had his head in a tin that I wanted to slide.
What a true sport John was for hanging up on a rope at the Tate Modern. We gathered quite a sizable crowd doing this, including a few busloads of art students who wanted to speed sketch us. One time we did the trick, a girl had no credit on her phone so she wasn’t actually able to call her friend’s number whilst John had it. We can’t forsee everything can we!
We had the entire nation thinking of cheese. Gregg literally had a dozen cheese related jokes he could rattle off, to be honest, name almost any subject to him and he could tell you a dozen jokes about it. The more alert of you may have noticed that the barcode we used had our phone number underneath it… doing whatever it takes to subliminally influence the nation.
It is the last week next time and we have comedian Ed Byrne. If all goes well we can walk away the series winners, but for now here is what really goes on behind the scenes…

Aha, Where can I buy a pack of Barry and Chewart? Possible buisness plan with Wriggeys maybe? They sound truly scrumptious! Great show last week! I was in the audience and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the ‘Find the Pea’ trick! Well done! I think that tonight’s episode could be a winner. You two with Ed Byrne = comedy gold! I can’t wait!

I still think ‘Barry and Chewart’ sound like Opal Fruits (chewits / starbust )
Good luck with show anyway guys.

You really need to contact a sweet company about ‘Barry and Chewart’. I thought you were robbed last week. I hope Stuart’s mum sent you some fan mail and not just to your arch rival!

Barry and Chewart sounds like some really tasty gum. The girl that got hypnotised was so lucky! I wish I could get hypnotised by you guys!

I need to borrow a photograph of one of your boards for the cheese trick, the reason being I need to work on something like that when our school has a talent show, in which I attempt to smash their magical face in.
( if you find this offensive look at this instead )
