Saturday & Sunday - it's challenge time!

As we get ready for the Radio 1 Big Weekend we sent Aled and Greg James ahead to fulfill gruelling tasks around Swindon. They were challenging and there was a deadline. Do they make it?!

    The agents: Aled from The Surgery and Greg James.

    The mission: beat the deadline to complete tasks in Swindon set by the weekend team and the listener at home.

    The prize: we get to listen in and have a laugh at their expense!
