"What can go wrong?"
Hello everyone!
And also because they love traipsing about.
Honestly though, even if this show were eight hours of Sam and Graham sitting in the camper van driving across the country, with the camera on their faces from the dashboard, I would've watched it, because that alone is priceless.
If you haven't heard Graham do a deep south fake American accent, now's your chance.
For one night, and one night only! LOL
But that aside, the lads do in fact show us some more beauty that is Scotland, and it's absolutely lovely to watch on screen, especially right now when travel is inhibited, if not forbidden.
Men in Kilts by Land, Air, and Sea, here we go!
And you know it's going to be a fantastic episode when it starts off with Sam and Graham on bikes, making their way to the top of a hill. Especially when Sam isn't sure whether or not their hill is the correct hill. That just makes everything better.
After that exhausting experience, the two numbskulls make the trek to Loch Ness, probably the most widely known Scottish feature ever, and just when they think they might have a moment or two alone with Nessie, who should appear but Gary Lewis, aka Colum MacKenzie of Outlander fame.
But still not as thrilled as Graham is once they're on the Isle of Skye (after trying to name the numerous Scottish islands which a hag made out of throwing rocks as legend goes, and epically failing to get even as far as 20) and Sam takes him swimming to a freezing waterfall.
I swear Graham got the short end of the stick here. I hope he demanded a refund.
Now since they've travelled by van, ferry (much to Sam's excitement) and by rowboat, the only thing left is to go by air as well, so they board a sea plane and take off, circling around Ben Lomond and preparing for their last adventure of the episode, or what I like to call 'Graham inventing many, many new ways of murdering Sam Heughan'.
They go abseiling.
Basically this is walking backwards off a cliff while clinging to a rope, in what doesn't look like a satisfactory safety harness AT ALL, and poor Graham being terrified of heights does NOT make this any easier.
I swear if I were him I'd kill Heughan, I really would have.
He's made of better stuff than that though, goes over the edge, AND comes back to share a sip of whiskey with Sam afterwards as they contemplate how he managed to survive.
And how Sam actually did plan this entire show just so he could get him as many times as possible.
Luckily for McTavish there's only two episodes left, and we'll be talking all things tartan, clan and the lot in the next one, so hold on to your kilts! Until next week.
