Jeanette's Junior Penguins skateathon is scuppered by Barbara.

Further details

The rivalry between Jeanette and Barbara intensifies as Roy tries to pacify both the women in his life. After Trisha successfully qualifies for the British Junior Figure Skating finals, Jeanette decides to hold a sponsored skateathon with the Junior Penguins to raise the money to fund her way. However, as ever Barbara throws a skate in the works when mid-way through the stakeathon she announces the Penguins will have to go as the rink is already booked. Once again Roy finds himself acting as peacemaker as Derby Ice Bowl's two trainers clash.

Elsewhere Dennis finds himself in a tricky situation with the ice hockey team when the cardio-suite fails to arrive. Things go from bad to worse for Roy when he tries to find a compromise between Jeanette and Barbara, only to find that Rocky has left the curling lounge in rather a compromising position...
