Bren is horrified when her flatulent mother Petula moves into the car park with her 16-year-old fiancé Clint (Kenny Doughty). His mother Shelagh forms a picket line around the factory, with the national press in attendance. As deliveries gradually stop arriving due to the mob outside, Bren suggests an impromptu Oprah Winfrey-style talk show to resolve the matter; they arrange this with the help of local journalist Carmel (Lynda Baron), but Clint decides to leave Petula after talking to Twinkle. Meanwhile, a TV researcher visits the canteen to see whether the dinner ladies would make good docu-soap material, but Tony is worried about them filming his cancer treatment.

00:00Slowly release the pressure and back to the
00:29tappy.
00:30Oh!
00:31Is this your full fat day?
00:33Oh, it could be if I call Wednesday, semi-skinned.
00:36In fact, if I call today, Saturday, I could have a Kit Kat.
00:40It's a load of Codswash dieting.
00:43All that misery for what?
00:46Could fall under a bus tomorrow.
00:48I could.
00:49You wouldn't fit under a bus, it would have to be jacked up.
00:54I'm not cursed with hips, fortunately.
00:56We've come a long way, me and my hips.
00:59Hmm, talk about contents may have settled in transit.
01:03What, you read it, Twig?
01:05Survey.
01:06Good knob guide.
01:07Let's have a look.
01:09Blimey, I thought you meant furniture or summat.
01:12Well, I'm sanding down an old blanket box I could do with an unusual knob.
01:17I don't think you want one of them on your blanket box, don't I?
01:24TV weather girl Irina shows us round her converted sauce factory.
01:28Well, it might give me some ideas.
01:30Oh.
01:31Oh.
01:32Oh, I can't even look.
01:36I thought you said it was knobs.
01:39It's knobs.
01:40What is it?
01:41Oh.
01:42No, I'm not letting you say it.
01:43Could set your marriage guidance back months.
01:46You know, Keith told her I needed to make more of an effort in bed.
01:49I'm not surprised if you spend the whole time reading Catherine Cookson.
01:53I do.
01:54Well, not the whole time.
01:56Anything out of the ordinary happens, I pop in a bookmark.
01:59Is Catherine Cookson the one on the telly?
02:04And it's all lovely and old fashioned in the ground in carriages?
02:07No, that's Jane Austen.
02:08If they're in carriages and the bosoms are like just under the chins, that's Jane Austen.
02:12Catherine Cookson, they'll be like a horse and cat.
02:15And they get pregnant a lot and chop the heads off mackerel.
02:20And it's raining and the bosoms will be a lot lower.
02:24And the Jane Austen ones, are they Shakespeare?
02:27No, there's Dickens.
02:32Are you thinking of Dickens?
02:34If they're all like covered in warts and they go, oh, Mr. Whitchy Goff, that's Dickens.
02:38Shakespeare, that's BBC too.
02:39And they have like robes on and they never sit down and they run on.
02:42Have you never seen that?
02:43I don't know.
02:44Yeah, they run on.
02:45What is it you?
02:46Oh, the Duke of Whittlybob's done such and such, and such a body's fell down the stairs in a nighty.
02:49Okay, fair enough, off you go.
02:50Well, that's Shakespeare.
02:52That's good.
02:53She's a millionaire now, this weather girl, Irina.
02:56Just for pointing at some low cloud over Derby.
03:00It's like those fat ladies that cook.
03:02Oh, what are they called?
03:03They're fat ladies.
03:05There's two of them.
03:08Two fat ladies.
03:10That's them.
03:11I couldn't think what they were called.
03:14Oh, and they're very ill groomed, standing there with the curvy grips dangling over a bit of woodcock.
03:19What cock?
03:20It's a breather.
03:22Now, message from Philippa.
03:24Did anyone see that series on telly about bin men?
03:26Oh, with Edward Woodward, that was brilliant.
03:27No.
03:28And did you know he was made to that woman out of thingybob.
03:30Some mothers do have them.
03:31What do you mean, have them?
03:32No.
03:33You know, he goes under a lorry and roller skates.
03:34Mr Bean?
03:35No, not Mr Bean.
03:36Brent.
03:37Not the pastry.
03:38No, Phantom of the Opera.
03:40Brent, not that series.
03:41Shut up.
03:42There has just been a series on television about bin men.
03:45Real bin men.
03:46Nothing to do with Edward Piggy and Woodward.
03:48Real people.
03:49Documentary.
03:50Oh, I know.
03:51And the people who made it, God help them, want to come and have a look round the factory.
03:54Oh.
03:55To make a programme about us.
03:57I don't know.
03:58Get the phones, Brent.
03:59I'm having a fag.
04:00At all, mate.
04:01No.
04:02I left them on table.
04:03No.
04:04So we might be on the television.
04:05If they make a docusoap about us, I could become a celebrity.
04:09Yeah?
04:10Like that girl that trips up on that discussion programme.
04:11She's in here.
04:12Look.
04:13Trips up once on television and now she's seen it relaxing in the Seychelles.
04:17In lycra flat-fronted trousers, $89.99 with her boyfriend, Olive.
04:26Clive.
04:27I might have my own slimming programme if our docusoap takes off.
04:36There will be no docusoap.
04:37You are sad women.
04:38What have you done to that lettuce?
04:40Chopped it.
04:41You've pulverised it.
04:42It's had it.
04:43That's not a salad bowl.
04:44That's a hospice.
04:45I hear the toilet paper dispenser's playing up again.
04:50Yeah, you tug and you only get one piece.
04:52Well, that's not adequate, you see.
04:54It's supposed to be three sheets per tug.
04:56With attention on my spindle nuts.
04:59I said that.
05:01I'll loosen them off.
05:02Is there anybody in there?
05:04No.
05:05Male maintenance operative entering female relief premises for nut adjustment.
05:11What's he doing?
05:12He's adjusting his nuts.
05:14Fair enough.
05:15Bren.
05:16Bren.
05:17Can I just pop into the toilet a minute with Clint?
05:20Nothing sordid.
