The thing I liked the most was when they tried to launch a 'Rocket Reliant' , it gave me the most enjoyment and disappointment all in one go.

I liked the Norwegian one where JC eats "spunk" on TV

North Pole one was superb too - in fact they all were - my missus gets fed up of me watching re-runs on Dave
