About this episode

Giles and Esther try and find their final column idea of the year from the week's papers; from chocolate mayonnaise and England Women's Football to online car sales and the nuances of the Greek alphabet. Giles is readying himself for the end of the year and Esther is on the look out for her early Christmas present to herself.
