- 0:00Andy introduces the driving test, with the other two riding along as backseat observers.
- 1:50The draw puts Jack first, Hamish second and Andy last.
- 3:15Jack begins his drive and gets immediate backseat criticism over indicating before reversing.
- 8:52Hamish takes the wheel, giving Andy and Jack their turn to critique.
- 14:27Andy's turn includes an impatient overtake and a beep of the horn.
- 17:48Thomas begins delivering the results; his final comparison comes at 19:44.
Thomas has the clipboard; the backseat passengers have opinions. Hamish & Andy's driving-test challenge is carrying much of the channel's momentum through a week with no new uploads, and it has reached roughly 473,000 views.
In "We Retook A Driving Test To See If We'd Still Pass | Hamish & Andy", Hamish Blake, Andy Lee and podcast producer Jack Post take turns at the wheel while the other two supply commentary. Jack draws the first shift and promptly gets feedback about indicating before reversing. Thomas, meanwhile, keeps his verdict to himself. "I will tell you at the end," he says, a fairly effective way to keep everyone nervous.
The channel added about 2,000 subscribers over the week, bringing half a million within reach. Daily viewing is back around its usual level, rather than continuing the surge that accompanied the driving video's arrival.
Among similarly sized comedy channels, Cheap Noodle had a particularly large viewing week, while TheTalentlessWriter was quieter. Hamish & Andy's own older challenges provide another thread: the pizza cook-off with professional chef Luca is drawing the next-strongest daily audience, followed by Jack's request for an assistant.
The pizza stakes are unusually communal. In "Can Hamish Blake Cook Better Pizza Than A Pro? | Hamish & Andy", beating Luca would earn listeners a hundred pizzas. No pressure, then, beyond everybody else's dinner.
