How does new manager, and ex-professional, Joe Megson, drum a bunch of talented amateurs into giant-killers?
What are: "'Arold's 'Ammer", the "cave", and the "Witches breath"?

Can Dick Digglesworth really be trusted?
Where does the laughing gas come in?
Not everything is done by the book, but as Sid says, "It's all part o' game, tha knows."
