1: Dog Day Afternoon (14 Nov 96)

It's a lazy Summer afternoon and nobody has anything much to do. Jenny comes home, says that she doesn't want to see anybody and goes up to her room. Bill and Ben try to find out what the problem is. They come to the conclusion that it has something to do with Jenny's boyfriend Clive.

Clive's mother phones Bill and says that her son has gone off to buy a ring. Bill and Rona assume that he's buying an engagement ring against Jenny's wishes. They rush off to try and stop him, with Ben and David in close pursuit.

When they catch up with Clive, they discover that he's planning to buy a ring for himself, to have fitted through some part or other of his body.
