Further details
It's just three weeks to the by-election and Bob's faltering campaign urgently needs a boost. In a daring twin attack, Bob and Frank target both the religious vote and Broughty Ferry's womenfolk.
Faced with opposing candidates posing with their partners, Frank urges Bob to find a 'bit of skirt'. It's a challenge that Bob takes up with gusto until a romantic date brings unexpected danger. Meanwhile, a day at the local church leads to Bob disrupting a prayer group.
