Robin has discovered a box of photographs in his office dating back to the company brochure of 1987. A wave of nostalgia washes over the older smokers as they're reminded how they used to look nearly twenty years ago.
Only Lilian enjoys the experience, being significantly slimmer and more glamorous now than she was then.
Even Sharon takes a reluctant trip down memory lane, to a time when she was just starting out as Barry's secretary. The ensuing discussion reveals a terrible misunderstanding between the two of them all those years ago which is still troubling their relationship today.
