This gag is a thousand years old - it's a very old joke.
In Episode 1, First Time, SternWriter explains the joke in excruciating detail. In this second episode, Second Time, it's re-told in an Edinburgh student flat in the mid 1980s.
This in turn contextualises Episode 3, Third Time, when the joke is told once again in situation of 'extreme social tension' at a Californian NASA research centre in the early ·90s·
It's a storytelling high-wire act, but if nothing else you'll end up knowing a Tang dynasty knob gag you almost certainly didn't know.
Next: Episode 3: Third Time
