Keep It in the Family

Season 2 Episode 6: Takeaway Sunday

Dudley's efforts to silence an over-sensitive burglar alarm at two o'clock in the morning lead to his being taken to Highgate police station on suspicion of attempted breaking and entering. Muriel suggests driving out to a country pub for Sunday lunch, but the car hasn't got a road fund license; just a Worthington E label stuck to the windscreen. Jacqui puts forward the idea of a barbecue on the patio, which her mother warms to despite Dudley's warnings of unpredictable weather. He prepares his special barbecue sauce, which makes steaks sit up and beg: garlic, cayenne pepper, garlic, French mustard and more garlic! As soon as Dudley attempts to light the barbecue, the rain buckets down; it's of little consequence however, since it transpires there isn't any meat in the house. Dudley telephones an order through to the Wang Ho Chinese restaurant for takeaway, but more misfortune awaits him when he drives over to collect it.
