Series 3, Episode 2 - The Lollipop Man Cometh

Tom has a part in a small local theatre production, which has somehow attracted Tom Cruise to the lead role. Preparing for the premiere performance in his dressing room stress levels begin to rise, and with a little of Linda's mis-assistance, his make-up takes a turn for the bizarre.
