Sidemen scratch for miles, and Harry and Tobi keep finding ones

The road trip pays Ethan and Vik for a castle selfie and a plush toy, while a headfirst slide and a lakeside picnic barely move the other car.

SIDEMEN HOW FAR CAN YOU GET (ROAD TRIP EDITION)

"SIDEMEN HOW FAR CAN YOU DRIVE IN ONE DIRECTION" is a road trip where the road has to be earned. Six of the Sidemen split into three pairs at The Three Horseshoes pub, each starting with 10 miles, and buy more distance by completing tasks from scratch cards. The reward is hidden until the scratching, and getting out of the car resets the mileage pool, so every stop is a gamble.

The group's latest Sunday upload drew about 1.3 million views in its first nine hours.

Harry and Tobi lose that gamble early and keep losing it. Harry goes headfirst down a playground slide ("Oi mate, that's terrifying!") for one mile. He wins a fiver on a lottery scratchcard, which completes the task, and the card underneath pays one mile. A picturesque picnic on a log by the water: one mile again. "We're averaging two miles a scratch here," Harry says. "It's not good." A paper airplane landed through the car window finally earns them five.

Ethan and Vik have the opposite problem. A selfie at Eynsford Castle earns five, and a soft toy taller than 30 centimeters from a garden center, strapped into the back seat like a third passenger, earns 25. When a card asks for someone with more than 10,000 Instagram followers, Ethan knows where to go: "My house is 21 miles away." His partner, Faith, is at home, counts her TikTok following in millions, and hands the pair another ten.

Josh and Simon, meanwhile, take a quieter route, asking a stranger outside a Morrisons to dictate a shopping list for them.

The comments keep returning to that lopsided luck, and to Ethan and Vik as a pairing: several viewers say they have rarely seen the two work so well together, with Ethan playing the patient dad. Another asks for a second round of a Taskmaster-style video. And one viewer reports the last place they expected to see Ethan and Vik turn up: their own village.
