Second Challenge: A task of Olympian proportions
The teams are given the intimidating challenge of producing a
promotional video for the Edge Leisure Centre in Waverley, showing why
countries should base their teams here while they prepare for sporting
glory. The catch is that the teams have less than eight hours to
complete their videos - and none of them has ever made one before. So,
will we unearth a budding Spielberg or two? Or will our teams suffer
from 'creative differences'? Watch now to find out!
