Jake is applying for French citizenship so knee-deep in paperwork, but not too bust to spend 25 minutes talking to Henning about Mountains.

In this episode the German Comedy Ambassador tries eagerly to pry into Jake's bank account while the actor reveals there is no parity in the earning power of Eastenders stars.
