Further details
Gary and his comrades are under threat of their barracks closing and Sergeant Thomson is more irritable than usual as he prepares everyone for the visit of MP Steven Maxwell.
The frantic preparations see Thomson injured so Gary steps up to show the MP around. Under strict instructions from Thomson to stick rigidly to the 'boring' agenda, Gary has a better idea and he and Mickey defy the Sergeant to appeal to the MP's appetite for action, but they underestimate just how insatiable it is.
Gary and the team also pay homage to Rizzle Kicks from the frontline.
