Episode Introduction

"Tonight, The Stig climbs into a bucket of hot wallpaper paste. Richard sorts out public transport and James gets beaten up by a boat."

Stig Introduction

"Some say that one of his eyes is a teste and that he was turned down for I'm A Celebrity because people have heard of him. All we know is, he's called The Stig."
