Season 6 kicks off with absolute chaos as Rob and Charlie dive into history, heritage sites, northern accents, Beamish, rarebit, and… Jesus? The pair ramble through museums, childhood misunderstandings about the 1950s, and their love of ruins—before the episode takes a wild turn as special guest Adrian Adrian, a self-proclaimed Hadrian’s Wall expert (and walking crisis), crashes the recording to deliver “facts,” plead with Sandra, and derail the episode completely.
