| 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:
“The twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Twelve lords a-leaping.”
—Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 89–91)
“The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
