About this episode

The episode discusses unexpected outcomes in a game, explores historical themes of loneliness, and highlights true sportsmanship.

Op Stage One is over, and the guys have been caught unawares by the outcomes - who’d have thought it? It’s all turned on its head, and the end of the turn is looking as uncertain as ever. This week’s History Segment shows that the British Empire doesn’t understand what loneliness is, the Mailbag takes to the skies and Common Ground teaches the world a lesson in what REAL sportsmanship is.
