Series 2, Episode 2 - Eurasia's Most Eligible Psychopaths and Their Lovely Homes

This episode is presented from The Fox and Gynaecologist, one of Islington's last remaining traditional boozers. Life is rarely easy for a stand-up comedian who has to take on writing for the glossy gossip magazines, just to make ends meet, but the offer of a trip to tiny Transoxania ("Land of Unparalleled Investment Opportunities!") to cover the wedding of their president, Genghis Khan III, is too tempting to turn down. It doesn't go well.
