Team GB Olympic gold medallist Greg Rutherford and comedian Josh Widdicombe carry twelve thousand Euros into Bavaria, the tallest region of Germany and its largest state.

Finding themselves at the location of the 1936 Winter Olympics, they brave the icy conditions to discover a hotbed of yodelling, snuff-sniffing, finger-wrestling and sledging, almost all of it carried out in lederhosen. Will Greg's competitive spirit lead him and Josh to victory? Will they manage to empty their suitcase of cash in the allotted time? More importantly, will they ever wear anything but lederhosen again?
