About This Program

Series 21 is presented as a programme and is categorised as an episode within the series. It forms part of the ongoing run of the show, continuing the format that viewers have come to expect from this particular installment. The story centres on a teenage boy who, only a few days after buying his very first all‑terrain vehicle, claims that the machine promptly fell apart. He insists that the ATV was defective straight away, suggesting that his inaugural experience with such a vehicle turned out to be a disappointment almost as soon as it began. The teenager’s account begins to crumble when he stops paying for his car that operates without a traditional check system. By halting the payments on this “checkless” vehicle, his earlier assertions about the ATV’s condition lose credibility, and the narrative he had constructed starts to fall apart. In essence, the episode juxtaposes the teen’s initial complaint about the ATV with his later decision to cease payments on the car, illustrating how his explanations lose their footing once his financial commitment is withdrawn. This contrast drives the core of the plot, showing the fragility of his story when confronted with his own actions.
