Your clue was helpful!  I did a Google a couple days later and it lead to 
various unhelpful links but there was one down the line that mentioned in the 
summary ep 20.  When I clicked on it, it led me to a forum of a site that I was 
not allowed to view... but I pulled out my DVD with ep 20 Attila the Hun  aka 
series 2 #7--which is actually near the begining of the middle--and fast 
forwarded through it.  I did not see it, but then clicked on the sketches link 
on the DVD and sure enough there is "News for Parrots". I went to that and 
there it is!  So, yes a thank you very much for the clue!
