About this episode

The episode explores Bogotá's bus system and the preparation of actors for roles, featuring insights on David Suchet's portrayal of Hercule Poirot.

There's double value on this week's show as the lads brought two facts each. Dave wants to rave about the bustopia that is Bogotá, Columbia but goes down a dark route. Neil demonstrates the lengths and depths actors will go to prepare for a role with the story of how David Suchet perfected Hercule Poirot's signature walk.
