Committed Letter Of Revelation, A Rest In PiecesCommitted
Synopsis:
Pam`s got her dates wrong. She was expecting a group of swingers to arrive (having mistaken 'Swinging' for a dance class when she joined). Less than enthusiastic about holding her first orgy (but deciding it rude to say no) you`d think she`d be pleased when the committee of the local am-dram group turn up instead (of which she`s honourable secretary). Unfortunately one of the swingers has got his dates wrong too and has parked himself on Pam`s bed. Trying to keep him a secret, the meeting is a shambles - especially when it`s revealed exactly who the lusty swinger is. . .

Top of PageLetter Of Revelation, A
Synopsis:
When Sarah receives a letter from her son telling her he's gay, it's bad enough such a revelation should arrive in the form of a letter, but the fact it's delivered by mistake to her nosey neighbour first makes everything worse, especially as her neighbours read it and discussed it with her husband. Sarah's mother doesn't help either - there were lesbians on her bus and she declares she can't stand gay people! as Sarah begins to accept the news her world is again turned upside down when her son arrives home, culminating in a final twist she certainly wasn't prepared for. . .

Top of PageRest In Pieces
Synopsis:
When San and Frank visit their mother in a rest home, it`s because they know what`s best for her and decide to move her out. The 'frail' Betty would be better off living with Frank. His wife was a veterinary nurse and could probably give her the care she needs (she`s certainly good with whippets!) But Betty is far from frail however; she loves it in the home and even teaches its residents aerobics. The truth of her children`s visit emerges. Instead of having her interests at heart, they`re thinking of her assets - and their inheritance pouring into the home. . .
