Paul and Rob are in Manchester, where they trot up the towpath to Salford and back. Featuring the phantom canal pusher, Mancunian memories, the incredible achievement of wossername, finish-line spitters, a demo on the down-low, a pretend parkrun, Rob’s lovely leggings, real-life soap opera and soap stars in real life, and a strange ringing noise that may or may not be the actual sound of Paul's reminiscences.
