Wicky is called to a shooting in a technology shop, where he finds himself sharing the night shift with a shelf-stacking conspiracy theorist who is preparing for the end of the world - which he insists is just around the corner. Wicky isn't sure whether the man is paranoid or just being sensible, but either way he has to decide where his own priorities lie.

Asim Chaudhry interview

Can you tell us a bit about your character and what attracted you to the role?

My character's name is Kai. He's a conspiracy theorist with a good heart. I've always wanted to play someone with greasier skin than I have in real life.

What was it like working alongside Greg?

Absolute legend. I used to call him Papa G on Taskmaster and sit on his lap and I very much did the same thing on this set.

Do you have a favourite moment from filming your episode?

Greg and I have an amazing chase scene and by amazing I mean slow and pathetic.

How do you think you would fare as a crime-scene cleaner?

Really bad. I'm always touching everything and sniffing stuff. The scene would be contaminated within seconds.
