After a hesitant start the charcoal gets going

Becky keeps an eye on Craig from a safe distance

Craig concentrates on this important task

Norman tries to erase Becky's memory of all the terrible jokes he's told her

With memories erased, Norman prepares to tell all his jokes again

Craig catches up on some pointy-finger action

Norman dusts of the polaroid

Craig spots a wormhole into the cosmos

A camera in need of a spirit level

The Craigs prepare to explain the main event of the day

The team listen with disbelief as Craig explains what he wants to do with the brussell sprouts

And here's how to thread the string through the sprout

The competitors choose their sprouts

Melanie, Mark, Norman and Janice do battle

Let battle commence

Norman shows how it's done

Janice and Nicholas watch nervously as Norman and Helen do battle

Norman's sprout doesn't look like it'll take much more

The Norman and Helen match

Ben keeps a safe distance

Ben learns some new words from Craig

I'm not letting a game of sprouts get between me and my kebab

I'll try and use psychic energy to put him off ...

Or maybe my 'come hither' smile ...

Direct Hit

Craig and Nicholas

Battle rages all around

Melanie Vs Dave

Melanie Vs Dave

Becky Vs Emma

Emma tries to eat her sprout

Nicholas keeps his distance (Craig seems to have this effect on his opponents)

Damage to both sides there

It's a serious game

Craig attacks with a primal roar

Emma dodges flying 'shrapnel'

A hit, a palpable hit

We've seen that stance before!

Craig has this effect on people

Craig gives it heart and soul

Mocked by Becky, he's doomed to lose

Stand-off

Final approach

Who shall be triumphant?

We'll never know
