Series 2, Episode 5 - Billy And A Little Learning
Billy is attracted to an advert in the local paper asking for men to be recruited for a career in publishing. Mr Shadrack and his parents pour cold water on the idea, but unperturbed, Billy goes to the interview anyway and gets the job. However, the publishing life is not what it seems, and is in fact selling encyclopaedias door-to-door. It's not exactly legal either...
