Outrageously funny.
Sleepin_Dragon8 February 2024
Briggs and Louis get carried away at a mock riot, injuring Cottam, to get his revenge he places them and an officer undercover at a gym, in an attempt to bring down Ronnie Goodall, who's been giving his fighters performance enhancing medication.

Yet another hilarious episode, it's got the lot, a brilliant scenario, hilarious one liners, and some scenes in the ring that I will never forget. It's one of the funniest, seeing Bob and Dave under the influence, riotous, I bet they laughed the whole way through.

Nicholas Monu is excellent as Danny, clearly a trainer, and what a physique, he really looked the part.

One of George Sewell's best episodes as Cottam, how he managed to keep a straight face with that on his head, side splitting, you could swe Monu trying to laugh.

Brian Croucher is so good here, more so a serious actor, but he did comedy very well, seeing him sniggering, brilliant.

Sugarboy Sweetie and Punchy Peters, I laughed out loud.

One of the best.

9/10.
