    Tinned Fruit S3 Episode 5 "The Toilet Attendant"

    A professional psychologist's ambivalent assessment of Tinned Fruit leaves the duo perplexed. There is little time for introspection, however as Paul is relentlessly pursued by an ex-special branch turned toilet attendant intent on bloody revenge.  Elsewhere Art Simon finds himself at war with a Viking trying to turn a longboat around in his driveway, and the introduction of a new, fun topic selector is upsettingly overshadowed by Paul's perverse obsession with prison and violent offenders.   Zazie" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
