Series 1, Episode 4 - Sydney Pynchlink

Sir Sydney Pynchlink, the innovative director behind some of the country's most admired weather forecasts, chooses the laughs that would comfort him most during the extinction of all life on the planet; including a joke too dangerous for parliament, a horse with three legs, and a lobster with a rather crucial piece of evidence.
