Opening remarks[]
Regular listeners will remember that I lost a 15-sided nut off my vacuum cleaner last week and I put the programme off the air trying to swipe one off a microphone. Well since then I've seen several of the type I need but they were all doing vital work. Er, in my efforts to knock 'em off I've stopped three trains, I've jammed an escalator, broken a crane and fixed Tower Bridge at half-mast for two hours. I only mention it in order to warn you that Boyle is ruthless. If you have a 15-sided nut in your home, guard it! Robin, the 15-sided nut pincher, may strike at any moment. Another form of strike which is flippin' dangerous is the one that Captain Povey is telling the crew of Troutbridge about in his office.
