Further details
Nick is down to his last 'Fisherman's Friend' - a sweet he eats every time he does the long walk to the bomb. Although he claims not to be superstitious, it becomes clear to Bird and Millsy that his stress levels are increasingly concerning and the team become pre-occupied with finding more sweets in time for the next call-out.
Mac and Rocket are annoyed that Simon never joins in their games. Determined to win their respect, he joins them in a game of Ultimate Fencing Deluxe. When he gets carried away, Mac and Rocket must find a way to ensure he never wants to join in again...
