[Starring] Michael Gwynn and Clare Austin

The setting of tonight's play is a West-Country vicarage, ancient and picturesque, but also cold, damp, and dilapidated. The vicar and his wife Catherine, a delightful newly married young couple, have only recently arrived in the district and are just beginning to find out what it means to run such a house on a very small stipend. The vicar, absorbed in his sermons and not really interested in domestic details, is conducting an enthusiastic campaign against what he considers the sins of modern life, including football pools. Catherine, whose brain is perhaps a little too fertile, is determined that something must be done to removed the intolerable discomforts of the house.
