Further details
This week, the Jokers work as sales assistants in a music shop. Paul sings The Dude Song while attempting to play a left-handed guitar, Matt demonstrates his amazing nose-piano skills, and Lee gets a customer to play his favourite instrument.
Next, the lads head to a quiet and genteel café, rigged with a hidden speaker set to make fart noises at the other Jokers' cruel command. The final challenge seems simple: win a kiss from a stranger. It is a game of tactics, in which each Joker believes they have their own unique way of succeeding.
Whoever clocks up the most fails over the episode faces a terrifying forfeit strapped to the top of an aeroplane.

Press
Hidden-camera show in which four friends compete in a series of toe-curling challenges and dares, each attempting to prank flabbergasted strangers while directed by the others via an earpiece. Expect fart machines and relentless harassment of the general public during this uncomfortable half-hour. A feeble remake of the popular US original, the British cast aren't quite funny enough to make it work.
