S31·E172 Episode 3258 (Tue 3rd Sept 2002)

In The Woolpack the final preparations for the engagement party are underway. Marlon is acting very sheepishly as he has promised to pull out all the stops for Tricia, but instead of getting the caterers in he has done it himself and is sneaking food around so as not to get found out. Little do they know there are some fireworks in store. Laurel, the hired entertainer, limbers up outside The Woolpack. Dressed as a bumblebee, she clumsily practises her dance routine. The party gets underway and the pub quickly fills up. Alan has generously laid on the champagne, which the punters are readily tucking in to.
