Giles tries his hand on board an oilrig in the Cromarty Firth, where he mishears the word "roustabout" with unfortunate consequences and decides to become a roundabout. Along the way he, quite literally, throws a spanner in the works. He also learns what to do if you're trapped in a decompression chamber with a farting Geordie.
