In this episode, the lads plan a "traditional" hangi for local gentleman Len. Amongst much non-PC humour, railway irons are proposed in place of hot stones, pasta in place of pig, and a keg disrupts preparations. Hole-digging is much debated in the usual Kiwi bloke way.

A gentle back-blocks comedy where each episode centres on the bumblings of a trio of mates living in a fictional small town.
