The time is early summer, and all the local societies in Binford are busy
preparing for their various summer shows. Naturally they only know about their
own activities, the needs of others being entirely superfluous. Unfortunately
there seems to have been a double booking and, to make matters worse, the drains
to the loos are blocked.

The town council has decided to twin Binford with a French town of supposedly

visitors and dignitaries in the Assembly Rooms. But harmony is disrupted when
the French mayor's formidable personal assistant thinks Fred Nesbitt is her
long-lost British father.

The annual Christmas Charity Fair generates less 'good will to all men' than

from the pub, and someone sets the decorations on fire.
