Series 21 delivers a self‑contained programme that falls squarely within the episode genre. It forms part of the ongoing catalogue of the series, presented in a format typical of televised installments. The story centres on a man who loses his job after being discovered under the influence while at work. Following his dismissal, he decides to bring a legal claim against his former employer, alleging that the boss has taken possession of his tools without permission. The narrative hinges on the clash between the employee’s accusation of theft and the circumstances that led to his termination. By framing the dispute as a lawsuit, the episode highlights the tension that can arise when personal conduct and property rights intersect in a workplace setting. Throughout the instalment, the focus remains on the man's pursuit of redress for what he claims is an unlawful appropriation of his equipment, set against the backdrop of his recent firing for being high on the job. This creates a concise yet pointed exploration of employer‑employee conflict within the brief runtime of the episode.
