| Sir Dennis decides to organise the company's pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, this Christmas, and gets rid of any vulgar or rude humour from it. Terry turns down a role, as he assumes the Vicar will ask him to play Father Christmas, but Austin has actually already asked Tarquin. Terry then decides to take part in the company's pantomime after all, and he and June play the cow, while Sir Dennis plays the dame. Terry and June are in costume, when the fire alarm goes off and in the confusion they get into a lorry and end up in Wembley. They manage to get back to Purley just in time to go on stage, but unbeknown to them Malcolm and Beattie are already on stage as the cow. |

Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or special:
“Whenever I hear about a child needing something, I ask myself, ‘Is it what he needs or what he wants?’ It isn’t always easy to distinguish between the two. A child has many real needs which can and should be satisfied. His wants are a bottomless pit. He wants, for example, to sleep with his parents. He needs to be in his own bed. At Christmas he wants every toy advertised on television. He needs only one or two.”
—Haim Ginott (20th century)
“I think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
