Series 5, Episode 2 - The Flag And Its Snag

Foggy is in the grip of another enthusiasm. "What better to complete the great British landscape than the great British flag - stirring the pride of future generations." But to reach the summit of Foggy's ambitions needs a certain amount of energy - not too apparent in Foggy's two compatriots, Clegg and Compo.
