Today we talk about how too much confidence is a bad thing. Tiggy tells James about how a flight ended in death and destruction when two pilots make a BET on how to land the plane. That bet costed lives, and what happened to the pilots?

Episode two talks about racism, but in a slightly different way than you think! Can the FBI help solve this one, or is it the 'lowly' local police officer who knows better about this town?
