In this delightfully nostalgic episode, Hayley, Duncan and Tommy rummage through the sideboards of the past — unearthing everything from dusty board games and awkward pamphlets to windfall apple soup and pheasants full of lead shot.

Along the way, they revisit school assemblies, embarrassing sex education lessons, and the lost art of metalwork, all with the usual mix of warmth, wit and "did that really happen?" moments.

In This Episode:

The mystery of the week's random objects — all leading back to the humble sideboard.

70s and 80s living rooms: whiskey bottles, best china, and that one forbidden drawer full of secrets.

Hayley's mum's hilariously "educational" cartoon pamphlet.

School assemblies featuring hymns, marrows, and confusion over whether Sloop John B was really a religious song.

Tommy's memory of a headmaster announcing Donald Campbell's fatal speed record attempt — and the playground reaction.

Craft class chaos: pottery gone wrong, bent spoons, and Duncan's proud pineapple upside-down cake.

Tommy's posh dinner party gone wrong — including windfall apple soup and pheasant with extra crunch.

Country tales: deer collisions, roadkill etiquette, and the grim legend of "badger ham."

Finishing with old-school fashion and accessories — from sock garters to smog masks.
