George, you see, had been given the job of choreographing a line dance in the Games Field and then he and Gavin and Tamara and Mary K had to make scarecrows out of straw and include them in the dance. And while the girls made a straw woman that looked like a normal female, George and Gavin, with a display of wit that has not been seen since Wilde and Whistler faced each other across the dinner tables of London high society, put a bra and panties on theirs and then filled the bra to bursting-point with more straw.

And then they were all tired so they had a few beers and a Chinese takeaway, and then Mary K got voted out but, showing all the dignity of Marie Antoinette at the guillotine and all the rapier-like repartee of Madame de Stael, she delighted the nation with her dazzling catch-phrase "Joke!"

How soon before this brilliant series is available on a Region 1 DVD so that America can share in the laughter?
