Pete, Mark and Andy launch the pod with the show’s perfect mission statement: Arthur Daley “loans” Terry out for a routine cash job… and Terry ends up trapped in a laundrette hostage siege when an armed robbery kicks off. They love how Terry’s steady head keeps things from going bang, while Arthur instantly sniffs publicity and profit from Terry’s accidental hero moment.
Also: first proper Guest Star Hall of Fame debate, the Terry’s Fights Rating baseline (more nerves than knuckles), and a big nod to how this opener nails the blend of danger, laughs, and Arthur’s shameless hustle.
