Episode menu

Series 2, Episode 2 - Germany

Giles Wemmbley Hogg replaces his sister on a German exchange. He records the cultural diversity he encounters in his audio diary.

Further details

Giles experiences the trill and excitement of the semi-industrialised plains of Northern Germany. He's on his way to find the Munich Oktoberfest in the company of his University LagerSoc, but on the way, he encounters a pink Barbie bike, a pile of chops, some rather tight ledgerhosen, and a German man telling a rather un-funny joke.
