They also get stuck into a university tale involving a heavy night, a disciplinary meeting and one truly haunting piece of CCTV footage that refuses to stay buried. Plus, an innocent attempt to help an injured pheasant leads to a car journey that goes very, very differently to plan. From sleep-deprived disasters to bird-related chaos, it’s another gloriously unfiltered episode packed with moments you really shouldn’t laugh at… but absolutely will.
