Yes, all the things we in America know so well and love so much come together (much like dodgems) in one final episode!

This episode has it all: horrible, ghoulish holiday-makers, Farm Supply delivery men, cunning King Crabs, colonels who are probably earlier colonels but never mind, and of course train drivers just weeks away from retirement who scream themselves awake nearly every night during a nightmare about their bridge crossings.

Includes some Listener Mail and of course Dumb Sentences of the Week.

Two prize winning pigs have gone missing in Idaville, and our intrepid Boy Detective suspects a brand new gang. How many gangs are operating in Idaville and how do things manage to stay relatively peaceful between them? You’d have to imagine there would be all sorts of territory disputes, not to mention horrific initiation rituals and shakedowns of local merchants for protection money.   

Nevertheless, there are pigs to be found, and Mike’s going to see if Conor can crack the case!
