| 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:
“A woman spent all Christmas Day in a telephone box without ringing anyone. If someone comes to phone, she leaves the box, then resumes her place afterwards. No one calls her either, but from a window in the street, someone watched her all day, no doubt since they had nothing better to do. The Christmas syndrome.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
