| 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:
“Frankly, I do not like the idea of conversations to define the term “unconditional surrender.” ... The German people can have dinned into their ears what I said in my Christmas Eve speech—in effect, that we have no thought of destroying the German people and that we want them to live through the generations like other European peoples on condition, of course, that they get rid of their present philosophy of conquest.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in industry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet “welfare” laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.”
—National Woman’s Party, quoted in Everyone Was Brave. As, ch. 8, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
