Mr Muzak

Series 2, Episode 1 - Football's Coming Home

Attempting to entertain the crowd at a football match is a hard enough gig as it is, but when you hate the game as much as Nigel does it's an even trickier ask. Factor in Pav's desire to make a quick buck, Stan's paranoia that the Russian's are still after him and Rachel's obsession with Gary Lineker's Twitter account, and it's a recipe for a pitch invasion.
