Further details
Nick has grown tired of eating the same food every day and is desperate to find something tastier. He's intrigued when the Colonel tips him off about a local delicacy - the Afghan Tiger Gecko.
When Simon makes a mistake out on roadside ops, Mary encourages Nick to let Millsy run a re-training exercise. Millsy is ecstatic and ensures he does a very thorough job, much to the disdain of the team. Nick meanwhile is pre-occupied with searching for the lizard, which he plans to use in his latest efforts to attract Mary.
