Further details
We learn that 'movement deprivation' can be overcome by 'the power of trout'; blastoff at the Geordie Space Centre is aborted due to 'fart putty'; and it's a rum do in Professional Footballer's Wives: a rum do of match-fixing and drug-addiction.
The can't-be-God-bothered vicar has a tickle in his anus; voice-over man Dave takes on the personalities of various tobacconalian devices; and the heroically loud cops argue over who could pull Copeland, a lucky female colleague.
The Croc Botherer finds a fish called a limghted (pronounced limalt); Roy of Roy's Toys upsets a baby; and "Windy" Dick Baker says some stuff about antiques.
Finally, naturalist Dave Fletcher explores the little-known coastline of Otley. He is about as respectful of nature as the Croc Botherer, but less fearless.
