This is a very funny episode with the very funny and patient Micky Overman who is left alone with Red whilst Bobby is still away to make sense of a better world, before the world descended, the last year when everything was great, 2015.

Musicians Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars recruit 11 writers to pen the sound of the summer "Uptown Funk", 100 people rush to the rescue of a unicyclist trapped under a bus, several people are catastrophically injured and left with life changing injuries in the Alton Towers rollercoaster crash, Jeremy Clarkson quits the BBC's number one car show Top Gear, and Mark Zuckerberg announces Facebook has reached one billion users. Also we learn about Micky's painful 2015 breakup, how Red and Micky first met at the Cavendish Arms open mic where Micky won, and the benefits of the Pizza Express Gold and Silver Rewards Club.
