Janet has just been appointed Shadow Minister for Health and has invited some friends around to celebrate. Her dazed husband seems happy enough to see razor-tongued April, but struggles to check his intolerance of flagrant new-ager Gottfried.

Dinner always appears to be on the cusp of being served but never quite arrives.
