David Mitchell's Outsiders

David Mitchell oversees events as the Outsiders attempt to smuggle contraband past border control and devise an entertaining and educational fable for a group of children.

It is Day Two in camp and the Outsiders are surprised by a stranger who is silently watching their every move.

It is Day Three and the Outsiders are shocked to discover that there's been a murder in camp. As they turn their hand to being detectives, they must interrogate five suspects before deciding who they think committed the crime. To earn their Livestock badge the Outsiders must select and prepare an animal for sale. Will Guz and Judi get over their fear of their llama and will Alan and Roisin be able to part with their beloved donkey? Finally, the Outsiders must use quick thinking and mathematical ability to solve a rationing riddle. At the end of the day, the Outsiders head to David's HQ to find out who has done enough to win one of his coveted badges.

It is Day Four in camp as the Outsiders battle it out to see who will create the best apocalyptic society. Today, David Mitchell invites former Outsider, Lou Sanders, to help him judge the Energy Healing badge. Alan and Roisin invent 'Chase Therapy', while Guz and Judi create an alternative 'Rebirthing Therapy' - an experience that David never wants to repeat. David also challenges the six comedians to create a post-apocalyptic, urban utopia and compose an anthem to unite the camp. At the end of the day, David summons the teams to his HQ to review events and award badges for successfully completed challenges. The result leads to some hilarious moments and some unpredictable outcomes!

It's the penultimate day of the experiment and the heat is on to win badges. The Outsiders are charged with upcycling three cars that have been abandoned in the woods. But which new design will David deem the most useful addition to camp - a drum set, a ping pong table or a hair salon? Next up, it's the Couples Therapy badge with Alan Davies, Judi Love and Laura Smyth each taking a turn at being a therapist for an opposing team. But which team comes out stronger? Lastly, David gives the Outsiders the opportunity to exile the things they don't want from their new post-apocalyptic society. Noisy eaters, procrastination and singing along to songs are all in line for the chop! But who will David agree with most and more importantly, who will win a badge? At the end of the day, the Outsiders head to David's HQ to discover who has done enough to win one of his coveted badges.

It's the last day for the Outsiders and with everything to play for there are only two badges in a race to the finish line. David Mitchell has challenged the Outsiders to make dummy David fly through the sky as far as possible, but will Roisin and Alan's low-tech device or Chris and Laura's scientific mechanism be the right approach to take for the penultimate badge? To earn the final badge, the teams must create their own political party and convince an audience at a hustings of their manifesto and points. Guz and Judi's shameless populism creates no friends amongst their rivals, and even leaves Guz out of pocket with one audience member. Finally, the Outsiders make their way one last time to David's HQ to find out who has won the final badges, and who will be crowned this year's Outsiders' Champions.
