On an evening dominated by bottles (see above), 'Hang the Bottle' was the final event, in which
competitors formed towers of blocks with a magnetised bottles at the top to attach onto suspended
magnets, after navigating their way over hay-bales. An all-time great event that got the adrenaline
pumping (even though these grown men were dressed with nappies, bibs and dummies). As you can see,
the event was very close and difficult (and potentially dangerous). In later series an 'E' block
was added just to make it that much harder! |

Frankston bursts onto the scene as the all-time worst ever team (well technically they weren't the
