Ant And Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway

Posted by Concept2 News on the 2nd of November 2006

The Indoor Rowing News' grandmother had a thing for Jim Davidson, which meant that our Easter holidays were spent watching faded VHS copies of The Generation Game and Big Break. When you add to this the vast amount of swede (long story) we were forced to eat at the time and you can see why we boycotted Saturday evening TV as soon as we reached the age of majority. As such, the following story, along with virtually every single name in it, makes no sense whatsoever to us, but may to some: You may have caught a glimpse recently of the Concept2 on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV. The duo faced an Oxford and Cambridge-style boat race in their weekly Ant versus Dec challenge. Dec recruited a celebrity team of Graeme Le Saux, Holly Willoughby and Shane Lynch while Ant joined forces with Jenny Frost, David Seaman and Stefan Booth. Both teams trained during the preceding week on Concept2 Indoor Rowers and then took to the water for the Saturday showdown.James Cracknell gave the teams some last-minute advice before starting the race. Ant's team got off to a flying start, which was too much for Dec's team to compete with, leaving Team Ant to win by a length and draw the series at 2-2.
