George has some exciting news to share. Miss Trimble (Sally Phillips) is popping over for dinner, yep, that's right, local-village-leper - Miss Trimble. While draft dodger Bert gradually warms to the idea, going so far as to have a bath, Cecil - a Mowbray for heaven's sake! - is utterly horrified, even more so when their guest stands them up.

Alarmed that a woman rumoured to have a highly contagious, permanently disfiguring skin condition considers herself to be above them on the social ladder, Cecil performs a complete switcheroo and sets out to win her friendship, whether she likes it or not.
