Ep. 1: Look Who's Talking (2015-05-27)

Cheeky investigative reporter Woody, set up by his editor after an attempt to test Buckingham Palace security, flees to Spain to seek refuge with beach bar owner and ex-colleague Brutus, who – recalling an incident with a crossbow – is less than welcoming. However, they join forces when fugitive fraudster Donald Hammer and his trophy wife Melody engage them to find Donald's missing parrot Wally.

Short of cash, Woody agrees to deliver an antique urn to a nearby island on behalf of supposed courier Maria but finds he's the decoy whilst she delivers drugs.

During the local hypnotists' convention, The Fabulous Mark mesmerises a volunteer into believing that he is a gunman out to kill him but the man flees and disappears.
