Case 27: Traffic Warden

Plosive
About this episode

Case Twenty Seven. Poop! Poop! Mat Ewins dons his driving gloves and shows us his clutching feet as he joins traffic warden Geoffrey Pinto on a journey through time in, no less, a time travelling car. Think Back to the Future without the spectacle, plot, the charisma of the leads or Spielberg at the helm and you’ll be half way there! Play loud! Play fast!
