    In this very special Hallowe'en episode, our beloved rude boys put on their drainpipe trousers and kick back to the spooky sounds of The Specials' #1 hit "Ghost Town." As they skank down the streets of Coventry they make a stop at Elvis Costello's bordello before clashing with the locals in Brixton. While they are by no means condemning the condom, they marvel at the many, MANY special public service announcements imploring the youth to keep a generation gap...by wearing a CAP! So, put on your checkerboard patent leather shoes and start stompin'...with TnT! Happy Halloween, everybody.
