The lads must rally to save the recording when Jeff Bezos drops the ball. Luckily the failures of Big Tech doesn’t stop Sunil from eating a single potato on its own with nothing else, nor does it impede Chris reminding everyone about his big house.

James is mad for it following his trip to see Oasis, Sunil doesn’t want for Southern European pasties and Chris is cuckolded by a load of 20 year old boys. Quite sweary this one; blame it on the resurgence of Cool Britannia!

Sunil and James are shocked to learn that Chris has actually submitted his leeks for appraisal by an independent adjudicator. They listen with a mix of jealousy and awe as Chris tells a tale triumph against adversity for the ages. It’s basically a Hollywood film where a working class outsider is the hero. Did Chris’ vibe-based, pee-soaked strategy work?!
