Arthur's progress on the writing of his new play is halted when he receives an offer, from old showbiz pal Barry, of an after dinner speaking engagement. We follow Arthur and Barry on the circuitous route to said engagement. Stopping off only to debate the in's and out's of pest control in Jerry's Cafe and have a few quick drinks, in the 'Shoulder of Mutton'. Oh and debating the vagaries of 'Donor Kebab' meat with the Duke of Edinburgh, should the opportunity present itself.
