Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience (2010)

Episode Overview

Rhod's hands are smooth and delicate, making him more adept at typing and petting dogs than tackling heavy machinery or engaging in strenuous work. However, he faces a tough challenge at the UK's largest open-cast mine in Merthyr Tydfil, where he'll put his skills to the test, from driving a massive 25-ton truck to managing explosives. Next, he dives into the depths of Europe’s deepest mine, where he must adapt to working nine kilometers beneath the North Sea, all while dealing with a foreman who has little patience for his complaints.
