Rob and Romesh vs Lapland is sending comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan to the freezing Arctic Circle, in some outlandish Christmassy costumes! In Rovaniemi in the Arctic Circle they'll brave temperatures of below minus 20C. The pair are training at Lapland’s Elf Academy to become Santa’s little helpers.
Under the guidance of head elf Vanilla, they will complete a series of tasks including reindeer racing and an "Elf baptism" where they must completely submerge themselves in a frozen lake. And only then will Santa decide whether they are worthy of joining his Christmas army.
