* DeathByCameo: Creator/ColinBaker appears as Phil, the would-be mark who dies of a heart attack.



* TheStinger: The crew talk to the toy tiger, which is clearly just their actors staying in-character and goofing around. Sean uses it as a therapist, Emma pets and pats it, Ash tries to get the eye back in, Mickey tries to teach it card tricks, while Albert strokes ands cuddles it. Eddie, however, get scared by it, with everyone off-screen laughing at it.

[[caption-width-right:350:नोथिन्ग इस इम्पोस्सिब्ले.[[labelnote:Translation]]Nothing is Impossible.[[/labelnote]]]]

When an investment con goes wrong, notorious dealer Czechoslovakian Charlie comes knocking, and gives Albert to get him £500,000 in place of his brother Phil. Spurred on by his tendency to chop those who wrong him up into pieces, the gang scout for a mark to cover the loan, and one soon turns up; Luke Baincross; an aged playboy with which the crew will run an insurance scam on his insured jewel-encrusted tiger.

!!Tropes:
* ChekhovsGun:
** The lesson on misdirection is imperative to the con later on, as the crew [[spoiler:use Luke's car alarm to distract the people in the hall to replace the real tiger with an ice sculpture]]
** The temperature control in the basement of the museum is also very important.[[spoiler:it keeps the fake ice statue of the tiger frozen]].
* EpicFail: Eddie making a cocktail has him shatter the bottle at the party, gets the water everywhere when he shakes the shaker. The look on his face screams [[DidNotThinkThisThrough "I really didn't think this through..."]].
* GilliganCut: The crew, on two seperate occasions, want Emma and Sean to work the inside, but Emma staunchly refuses to go to Baincross Hall on the grounds she loathes everything about him, while Sean gets buttered up on his skills and quick thinking. Cue Emma in a car driving to Baincross Hall, while Sean mopping the floor of the hall. Both do an exasperated look to camera as an AsideGlance.
* OddFriendship: Ash has a contact that can get him party guests quickly....[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a London robot statue performer.]]
* PetTheDog: Mickey, in an unusual amount of kindness, lets Eddie the barman work the con with them; as a bartender. To some extent, justified, as he didn't have much time to pick and choose a better option.
* SarcasticConfession: Mickey, while talking to Luke about what they'll do with the tiger, responds with "From what I hear, tigers don't swim too well". [[spoiler:The crew dumps the tiger in his swimming pool]].
* ShoutOut:
** Ash mentions the security for the room the tiger is in has [[Franchise/StarWars "more lasers than a Jedi convention"]].
** Eddie mentions two heist movies when setting up at the flat for his bar services; Film/TheSting (which this show was inspired by) and Film/OceansEleven.
* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: Phil gets a heart attack, and it's his death that forces the crew to play Czech Charlie.
