The premise

Here’s the bit.

The team questions what their plumber sketch is actually saying. Lara tries to steer the discussion towards the sex industry and who holds power, while David and Robert find more comfort in familiar complaints about expensive tradespeople. The attempted critique gives way to anxiety about the household bills that might be waiting for them.

Say it with us

It's a sketch about porn.

For me, it's about plumbing.

What if the boiler goes?

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

In the original episode, this discussion immediately follows the separate “Pornstar plumber” sketch.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
