    Trojan Bus
    Butch and Sundance return or should that be Bruce and Skippy.

    Australian villains Colin and Ray who escaped justice last time by flying down to Rio. They now have come back to London, drinking Fosters, joking about and have their eye on stealing a valuable Goya.

    Once again they have a female assistant as the inside woman.

    Regan is keen to catch them this time and Haskins wants their collar felt for having him suspended.

    It is another enjoyable outing. Colin and Ray really are a cheeky duo but was it wise for them to return to London.

    It is an explosive finale as the Aussie pair want to go out in a blaze of glory.
