On this week's bonus Everest, it's time for you to tune up (or detune) your mind to the exacting and often challenging universe of The Professionals. Patriotism, a sense of duty and an almost psychopathic, whisky-addled, disregard for life or property will get us out of this mess: particularly as the world's fattest, wheeziest and most unhealthy group of middle aged white men are hoping to prevail in an all-out race war.Your heroes reveal the secret number to dial to get the nuclear bomb squad, unpick the "aaaaah..." element of the surprise twist ending and watch a young man tie Tony Booth to a chair with the cord that was holding his trousers up. All in all, it's been a revelatory experience all round and one it turns out we almost never had at all, thanks to the vagaries of Ian's vast and ever-growing archive of old television programmes. Lucky, lucky us. This episode was originally released as part of our Patreon subscriber This Is Your Everest series.
