Story

In the quiet market town of Altrincham 6 unlikely super heroes embark on their toughest challenge yet. Tough Mudder 2019.

Team Captain is Paul, a.k.a. The Snack Attacker. Optometrist by day and snack bandit by night. His standout power would be his care, empathy and patience with the people of Altrincham. All heroes must have a rest day, on which Paul calls, a fasting day. You'll often catch his signature catch phrases in action: '"Can I get a screen please" "you freee?".

 Up second we have James a.k.a. Mr Jibbs. Part time dispensing Optician and full time Casanova, this sneaky prawn takes the women of Boots by storm. His standout power is solving the impossible mysteries of the 1st time varifocals. Haunting heights, cunning corridors and frightening frames don't stand a chance against our Mr Jibbs. His loving charm is represented by his catchphrase "you little sausage".

Thirdly, we introduce you to Dom a.k.a. the OPS Oligarch. Manager and tech guru all rolled into one. When Dom isn't powering through paperwork faster than speedy Gonzalez, he's on the shop floor fixing frames and pleasing patients. His catchphrases include "Hmmm..." "What have you broke" and his best hits "What are you like" and "You nuisance!".

 Now we introduce you to our secret weapon- Avalanche. When Ab isn't busy training to become a fully-fledged Optometrist, you can find him in the pool swimming rings around everyone else. His secret power includes charming the socks off the patients of Boots Opticians and you can recognise him from a mile off by his signature catchphrase "Cha Cha Cha".

Next up is the legs of the team- Amy AKA Big Lad. Soon-to-be training Dispensing Optician and frame styling extraordinaire, Amy also has a long history with netball, which we're counting on in hopes she will bounce us over the finish line. Her super power comes from her spectacular height which gives her the innate ability to climb up the gruelling Boots stairs two steps at a time. Her catchphrases include a string of indistinct noises that could mean either "I'm hungry" "I like those frames" or most commonly "I want a Lucozade zero".

 And lastly is Heather, aka Big Bev. When Heather isn't moaning about leg day at the gym, you can find her raiding the isles at Holland & Barrett to find the newest vegan snacks. She has the impressive ability of bringing up veganism in every single conversation, whether it's about food or the weather, it will be mentioned. Heather's key catchphrase is "Have you tried my vegan tiffin?".

With their unique and certainly questionable powers, they will all join forces as the Optical Avengers in pursuit of raising money for Vision Aid Overseas.
