Episode 2

Comedians Janey Godley and her daughter Ashley Storrie put in some hard graft on a construction site to prove they have what it takes to cut it outside the world of comedy.

Janey and Ashley don hard hats and head for a construction site. They are set to work making mortar, and they find out just how hard it is to build a simple wall. Next up, they have to get their heads around more complicated tools to connect cold and hot water pipes. Their work is then put to the test when it’s hooked up to the live water main, and it could be a disaster if the site starts filling up with water!

However, their biggest challenge comes when they have to insulate a wall. The job involves joinery, accurate measuring and trying not to waste expensive materials. Can Ashley and Janey get past the hilarity of the word ‘dwang’? Can they put in the hard graft to see the shift through? And which one will be named ‘best employee’ and avoid that last awful job?
