Series 2, Episode 3 - Taken For A Ride

Mr Christian's back from holiday, but an extra pair of hands don't stop Slinger from making a big mistake with the previous day's takings. And all after warning the staff of falling for obvious scams! Wilkins, meanwhile, is rather worse for wear - not helped by being force-fed a new mushroom yoghurt.
