Josie tries to introduce this episode, but Jim takes over to explain the format of the show. The short opening sketch about sudoku shows the pair at their best and they continue to try and outdo one another with 'Fesco', 'Chaitrose' and 'Ainsburys'! The sketches continue to outdo the one before with two naked strangers jumping out of a wardrobe to surprise someone.
