May The Best Man Win

Michael, Nick and Abi

Episode: 12

First Aired 6th June 2003

Abi's dad (and Ben's cousin) Richard arrives at the surgery and announces his impending wedding. It's not a cause for celebration - Richard has been married four times already and his latest bride-to-be is only 18 years old. However, Ben is feeling pleased with himself as Richard has asked him to be best man.

Later on Abi is distraught by the news - particularly as she went to school with her dad's fiance. Ben is hitting problems preparing his best man speech. He can't think of a nice word for 'pillock'.

Meanwhile the kitchen sink has turned into a health hazard as Michael is refusing to do the washing up. Nick remarks that the piled crockery has become like a "massive game of Jenga".

Nick offers to help Ben with the stag night organisation. His services don't come for free though. Ben beats him down from £3000 to £200.

At such a bargain basement cost it was predictable that the stag night would be a disaster. There is no music, food or booze and the venue is next door to a pipe smoker's convention. Richard thinks it is the worst stag night he's had - and he's had one in a prison. In an effort to liven the night up Nick enlists Susan's help. She's going to jump out of a huge cake like a strip-o-gram.

Susan partakes in some Dutch courage in order to calm her nerves. She steels herself to leap from the cake... and finds herself surrounded by pipe smoking strangers. Yes, there are two giant cakes, and they have been accidentally mixed up.
