Excerpt from script:-

The Women’s Institute meeting in the sauna went surprisingly well. Since Calendar Girls nudity is ‘in’,…. although I can’t help feeling some things are best left understated………..

We’ve all got to move on, to show that we’re no stick in the mud , unless of course we’re wrestling in it- now there’s an idea for the next committee meeting. There’s some publicity mileage in that- certainly more eye catching than the mystery pancake night.

(confidentially) Celia started to get palpitations, although I’m not sure if it was the heat, Mrs Fry’s squashing her into the corner without the aid of an Iron Fairy; or Jennifer’s talk of her holiday in Sweden- you know the kind of thing-wooden ladles and muscular young men.

(pauses to relish the image)
