Synopsis
UK version of the off-beat Canadian format where two "best friends" take part in a series of challenges to prove who is the best - whether it be who can become most famous, who can get the most phone numbers, who can contract the most illnesses or whatever.
Sometimes the Canadian Kenny Vs. Spenny epsiodes would go gloriously off beam. In the boxing episode, one built a prison for the other and locked him in there to enforce a default, enabling him to win the match without training or throwing a single punch. Sadly, the UK version never had the same knockabout appeal.
It was rather obviously ripped off by the Ant V Dec segment in Saturday Night Takeaway.
