We all remember the famous Ronald Reagan speech where he implored "Mr. Hasselhoff, tear down this wall!" But what wall was he talking about? The Berlin Wall of course! And it turns out that Big Ronnie's wishes were granted 35 years ago this very day (if you're listening on day of release).
In order to celebrate this classic toppling event, your auditors travel even further back in time to an era when that big pile of rubble was still very much wall-shaped for a very special episode focusing entirely on West Germany.
William Woollard is our sole host (with Derek Cooper on narration duties) as we take some very long and thorough looks at:

- Testing the suppleness of classical musicians with torture devices
- Rejected Thunderbird vehicles clearing up a nuclear spill
- Willy Woolly crank calling the Siemens internal operator
- Some pro-level bowling from a deafblind person
- Mountaineering in top-to-toe denim to catch some fresh air

As the old German saying goes: "Ich lichten nichten" (Translation: "I don't like it, but I'll have to go along with it")
