My legs went to jelly. I did this thing with Bear Grylls, where I had to rappell down a sheer face. I was never so terrified in my entire life. I got there, and I...

Sorry, you rappelled down Bear Grylls face?

He chose the face.

And then your legs went to jelly.

The really frightening thing was, you know, he took me to the edge and then there was 45 minutes...

Sue Perkins

Sorry, Bear Grylls took you to the edge?

[double facepalms]

Alaska's state motto is North to the future. Don't know what that means, but there it is. They all have mottoes, these states, My favourite one is Kentucky. Kentucky's known, really, for two things.

Sue Perkins

Fried Chicken.

Well, apart from that. It's called The Bluegrass State, but it's Bourbon and The Kentucky Derby - the race. And somebody came up with a two-word phrase for Kentucky which encapsulates both those things which I think is rather brilliant.

Sue Perkins

Pissed Horses?

That would do it. No, it's Unbridled Spirit. Isn't that clever? Genuinely clever.

Yeah. No, that's great. That absolutely shits on North to the Future.

[Laughing] It does, doesn't it? It's got to be said.

Because if there's one place you do not want to head north from, it's Alaska. 'Cause there's fuck all of the world there. You want to go south! You want to see stuff... North to the Future maybe you'd say from Argentina.

Who gets the most use out of a man engine?

A woman. [Laughter] Can't believe that [the forfeit klaxon] didn't go off.

Do you want to know what the forfeit was? [Deep voice] 'You do, Stephen.' I said, 'No! No-one's going to say that.' And you didn't.
