Richie, Eddie, Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog partake in a number of money-making schemes.
Excellent episode poking fun of early 90s recession era Britain and throwing several funny supporting characters into the mix. We have hilarious scenes at a police line up, the Lamb and Flag, the local pawnbroker and betting shop.
Richie and Eddie are mostly centre stage, but the major strength of this episode is the use of cameo performers. Robert Llewelyn (or Kryton from 'Red Dwarf') is great as the Falkland's veteran who takes a dislike to Richie. Chris Langham is very funny as Tight-Mouth Larry the drunk, Beegees singing, bookie. Brian Croucher has a brief but comical turn as outrageously hard negotiator Harry The B*****d.
Series regulars Christopher Ryan and Steven O'Donnell are typically brilliant as Spudgun and Dave Hedgehog. O'Donnell's banter with Patsy Rowlands at the police line-up is probably my favourite part of the episode along with them all watching helplessly at the progress of 'dead cert' Sad Ken.
