Elsewhere, they unpack tourist chaos, from Trevi Fountain swimmers to Ibiza supermarket behaviour, Buckingham Palace idiots and the general curse of holiday entitlement. There’s also Paris outfit panic, trench coats, trilbies and the struggle of dressing for rain without looking like Inspector Gadget. Plus, Laura’s school fine drama, and a glorious final showdown inspired by Big John’s Chinese takeaway world record - with Carmen taking the crown. BOSH!
