Further details
Hut 33 must play the local prisoners of war at football... the only problem is the hut don't have a full team. Archie is desperate to play (to prove to Minka how masculine he is) but Charles is less than keen.
When a team is eventually formed their performance is less than encouraging, until they get a new coach that is - the fearsome Minka who soon whips them into shape.
Charles and Josh bet against each other heavily on the outcome of the match.
