Press
As Melissa's adoption party gears up, Bagpipes (Bill Bailey) is starting to think his estranged parents "might be a little bit racist" - which a visit to them with Walter may or may not confirm ("Would you like me to see if next door has a can of Lilt?" asks Mum). Great fun, great 80s soundtrack, too.
