After five strongly contested heats, the competition reaches its climax as the ten finalists battle it out in this ultimate test of strength. Dragging huge ship anchors, lugging anvils the size of motorbikes, and pulling lorries are just some of the seven gruelling challenges facing contestants in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Will the title-holder, Norway's Svend Karlsen , be in the final to defend his crown? Hosted by John Inverdale , with commentary from Paul Dickenson. Director Will Clough; Series producer Rupert Rumney
