Series 4, Episode 8 - The Consultant

Arnie turns consultant when the Ultron Council sends him to check up on Thermoman's performance. Arnie conducts a Time and Motion study on George and demands that Thermoman be fully accountable for his actions.

Further details

A plethora of customer satisfaction forms quickly hamper Thermoman's ability to rescue the victims of natural disasters - or as Arnie prefers to re-classify them, 'clients'. Arnie's regime over-stresses George to such a degree that he starts making mistakes ending up with him bringing home an armed intercontinental ballistic missile. Fearing for the world's safety, George retires, only to return to active duty when Work Experience Boy makes a hash of replacing him.
