Ken is over the moon when he's been picked to become a Lib Dem Councillor. Cuckoo is full of advice; politics is, after all, his special subject.

Ken is devastated when Dylan kicks a guy in the nads and unwittingly ruins everything. Can wise Cuckoo pull Ken out of his hole and get him his dream back? Nope.

Notes

Erroneously, Tyger Drew-Honey was not credited in this episode.
