SUITABLE

George and Lynne are getting ready to go out. Lynne asks George if he thinks the dress she is wearing is suitable for the night. George says that it is not suitable to go out in, but it is perfect for when they come back.

George and Lynne have been invited to another black tie gala. This one is a benefit for cats with leukaemia and George's company have made a substantial donation, forcing him to go and make an appearance.

George insists on tying his own bowtie, so has yet to see Lynne's dress as all his concentration has gone into that tricky business. When he finally sees it, he realises that it is a little risqué for tonight's event.

He does however think it would be suitable for when they come in. George is intending to invite a group back after the gala for adult games. Unfortunately this will never happen as Lynne will now spend the next hour trying on dresses causing them to be late for the gala missing the presentation of the cheque. The patron of the charity will get annoyed with George and a fist fight will ensue. George is then sent home with a black eye and butterflies in his stomach as to what his boss will say to him on Monday morning.

BIG SPENDER

Lynne is out in town. She sees Roger and his new dog and compliments him on it. Roger thanks her and tells her he named the dog after his wife. Lynne asks if the dog is called Roberta. Roger says that she isn't. Lynne learns that the dog is actually called Big Spender after Roger throws a stick for her. Lynne says that Roger's wife sounds like her sort of woman.

Lynne sees Roger as she is looking in a shop window that is selling shoes. Either the shop is called Shoes or this shop has only just started selling shoes and needs to tell its customers so that they don't think that the shoe display has been put there by accident. The grey haired woman is so taken aback that this shop is actually selling shoes that she has gone into some sort of trance.

Lynne knows Roger and that he has a wife called Roberta but that's as far as her knowledge goes. She had no idea that Roberta had expensive tastes but now that she does she thinks she'd like to get to know her better.

Roger has only recently got his dog but the dog is not a puppy, as it looks like a Springer Spaniel. Giving this dog a new name at two or three years old must be very confusing for the dog. It now has to respond to something new. However, if the new name, Big Spender, has the same amount of syllables as the dog's old name and Roger calls it with the same inflections, the dog should still respond.

NUDITY

Lynne is at a nudist camp with her friend Katalina. She asks Katalina if she always takes her clothes off in her movies. Katalina says that she certainly does not and that she only strips off if it's vital for the role she's playing. She adds that otherwise she'll only go nude if the part doesn't call for it.

As part of recuperation, Katalina has decided to take a small holiday to somewhere hot and has brought Lynne along with her. We can't see Katalina's leg but it might be still in plaster. This trip has also given Katalina the chance to get rid of those tan lines.

Katalina is finally owning up to herself that she is now an adult film actress, but she is not ready to tell anyone else. She wants to confide in Lynne but is too embarrassed to tell her outright. Instead she drops hints that she is now taking her clothes off in every film she does. Lynne is so naïve; she is impressed that she is friends with a film actress and wants to know everything. Telling Lynne the truth would kill her, so she decides not to be blunt about it.

Meanwhile, George decides to go for a swim in the sea and is attacked by seagulls who mistake his old chap for a hot dog. The holiday does not end well.

SPIN

George and Lynne are at a car showroom. Lynne tells George that she heard Seb took Sue out for a spin in his new toy. George says that she is a lucky girl. Lynne continues to say that Sue had hoped it would be a sexy sports car but it wasn't. We learn it was a plane and Sue didn't like it.

There is a sale on at the car showroom and George is looking for a bargain. He has just received a company bonus for his hard work this past year and he has decided to splash out on a new car. All the cars are brand new and literally sparkling. The red car has caught Lynne's eye, but this is mainly because someone has left the hazard lights on.

George isn't interested in Lynne's story as he knows that Seb is a budding pilot. Seb works with George and spent his bonus, a larger one than George's, on a small aeroplane. He is so good at flying planes that he has no qualms about performing a barrel roll with Sue in the co pilot's seat. Soon after he is called over the radio to stop doing it and is fined by the airfield. He apologises and promises not to do it again. George decides against buying a sports car now and saves his bonus for another day. Not funny, but sensible.

ACCESSORIZE

Lynne is getting ready to go out. She says that she always likes to accessorize when she goes out. Once out, a woman hugs a man and says that the only accessory she needs is a hunky boyfriend. Lynne looks angry.

It looks like Lynne is talking to herself but what we don't see is George just out of shot asking her why she's wearing so many belts, necklaces and bangles. Lynne explains this and leaves soon after, leaving George pondering why she has never ever dressed like that in the past.

A strange woman has somehow heard Lynne's previous statement and commented that her only accessory is her boyfriend. He doesn't have anything to say on the matter. Lynne is angry, not because of this woman's comment, she barely hears it, but because she has found herself without her purse. She definitely brought it out so she will now have to retrace her steps, starting with going back to the massive microwave warehouse where she has just come from.

WORRIED

George and Lynne are at a wedding. Lynne tells George that the bride has arrived. As the bride walks down the aisle she tells her father that wants to talk with Lynne. The bride, whose name is Kay, tells Lynne that she's worried and asks her if she's doing the right thing marrying Kelvin. Lynne tells her she is worried too as the groom's name is Kenny.

It is the wedding season and again George seems to be part of the groomsmen. Lynne is friends with the women that are getting married but as there is such a dearth of good men in the area, the boyfriends of these women get close to George. He doesn't do enough to become Best man, and he's grateful for that, but he is close enough to be an usher at the weddings.

This woman is so worried she is willing delay her own wedding to check her anxiety with Lynne. Why is Lynne so important? Has she become the local agony aunt when it comes to relationship difficulties? It has to be said that her marriage seems to be the only one without any problems so people may see her as some sort of relationship guru. As Kay talks to Lynne the entire church is silent. These churches have very good acoustics so it is likely that they can hear Kay's troubles.

Kenny, or Kelvin as Kay calls him, looks remarkably like George. Could this be George's brother? It would explain why he is a groomsman. Thinking that Kenny is Kelvin is the least of Kay's worries. He is a good man for putting up with her calling him Kelvin all these years. Maybe she talks really fast and he never noticed. Either way, he looks rather upset as she is talking to Lynne when she should be saying her vows.

BREAK

Lynne is on the phone by a swimming pool. Katalina, who she is on the phone to, tells her that a film director wanted her as the lead in his new movie. Lynne thinks this is great news and suggests that this could be the break that she's been waiting for. We then see Katalina in hospital with her leg in a cast. She says that it is too late as she's already had it.

At Lynne's local swimming pool they have loungers and phones around the side of the pool. This is a high class establishment. They also have state of the art saunas and finger print locks in the changing rooms.

So Katalina is an actress. She is wary of saying the film director's name though, which suggests that either she doesn't think Lynne will recognise the name or he is so bad that she doesn't want anyone to know. Lynne has been keeping up to date with Katalina's career as she thinks it is very glamorous that she has a friend who is an actor, so she knows about directors. It could be that Katalina has resorted to an adult film but is too embarrassed to tell anyone.

Katalina has broken her leg. She is telling people that she did it when she fell off a chair as she was changing a light bulb. This is a lie. Having been given the lead role in this movie, she found out is was an adult feature and told the director she didn't want to do it. He told her she had to or she would face the consequences. The consequences were that a man was sent round to break her leg. She has since agreed to do the film after she heals, but it will be the other leg if she runs out on them again.
