by Bruce Stewart
with Elizabeth Bell as Maisie Coulthard, the Foreign Secretary, and Robert Morris as Alex Hannibal, the Shadow Foreign Secretary

In an attempt to prevent an international crisis Maisie Coulthard, the Foreign Secretary, decides to give a party for some important diplomats. At the last moment she discovers the drink has not arrived. Maisie is saved from disaster by a special mead brewed from an ancient recipe by Jasper, a mysterious rustic. The strength of the good old English mead has unsuspected results on the guests - but especially on Maisie Coulthard, the attractive Foreign Secretary.

(Repeated: Mon 3.2pm)
