1 [Title panel] Celebrity Race Across The World 2 [Voiceover] Meanwhile in Italy, Yvette and Ed have to cross a river. [Show YVETTE COOPER and ED BALLS standing on a riverbank. At Yvette’s feet is a canoe. Ed is reading a guidebook.] 3 ED BALLS: Yvette - are you sure crossing the Rubicon is a good idea? YVETTE COOPER: It’s the only way, Ed. 4 ED BALLS: Only it says in the guidebook ‘The Rubicon is noted for the on-the-nose political annotations which can be seen in its currents’… 5 ED BALLS [squinting up from his guidebook to look at the river]: Oh yeah, look - 6 [We see an elevated view of the river, where the words BANNING NONVIOLENT PROTEST are written in the waves]. 7 YVETTE COOPER: Cor, that’s amazing! 8 ED BALLS: And I can’t help noticing the canoe you’ve found has ‘THE FOLLY OF POWER’ written on it [Show their canoe by Yvette’s feet, with THE FOLLY OF POWER written on the side]. 9 ED BALLS: And can you see that *sign* on the other side… 10 [Show the land on the other sign of the river which has a sign stuck in the ground reading]: AN ACTUAL AUTHORITARIAN DYSTOPIA, DON’T BE MENTAL 11 YVETTE COOPER: Sorry Ed - remind me what you do again…? ED BALLS: An awful podcast with George Osborne. YVETTE COOPER: And I’m…? 12 ED BALLS: Home Secretary. YVETTE COOPER: Get in the on-the-nose canoe, Ed. [ends]

Needs more labels. I don't think it's clear enough.

That panel with the drones had me doubled-up in the corner for five minutes. My sides hurt 🤣

I won’t tell you how many panels in I was before realising I got my Yvettes mixed up and this wasn’t about a former Blue Peter presenter. Her appearance and husband made much more sense after that.
