Summary
Chris Tarrant visits Wirksworth where landlords from the town's pubs are in training for a charity race pushing beer barrels.

Description
We open with a high angle shot looking down on the town of Wirksworth. Quick shots showing several Wirksworth pub signs are following by shots of men downing pints of beer (with comedy swallowing sound effects added). Next, in a field a group of landlords and seen limbering up, lifting beer barrels and attempting to push them uphill. The long jokey training sequence includes Chris Tarrant interviewing some of the competitors in the event. It is also revealed that the uphill beer barrel race will be in aid of the local well-dressing appeal.
