Ronald's Revenge: Great Scott!

It's the first in our 2024 Christmas series, where the gang try and stop internationally typecast mafias from destroying Christmas.
This week, Jamie presents Mike, Jon and Mairi with a nail biting conundrum - are the New Zealand Mafia really bad enough to go on the naughty list, or is all fair in love and garotte wire?
