The lost episode! After some tech issues with retrieving the recording on this one, we thought we might never get it out! Think of it as a pre-Brexit, pre-Christmas time capsule when everyone was full of hope and joy! We get down with some intense documentary action, some intrepid tech insight, and one of the most macho days out ever!

A little delayed, but we got there! Spanning the entire cultural range from hot new tech (and how Tom's a big-time Youtuber now) to possibly the most middle class birthday outing imaginable! Oh, and hot hot takes on Joker!
