Hyacinth likes to do her duty as a daughter and she feels that it's time she did something nice for her beloved Daddy so she informs a somewhat reluctant Richard that they will arrange a nice little country picnic for Daddy.
In due course, Rose and Daisy are informed that they must have Daddy ready and suitably dressed by the time he is to be collected. A clean handkerchief and a small, clean towel are also essential to the success of the outing as Daddy tends to be a somewhat messy eater.
Hyacinth is delighted by a telephone call from her beloved son, Sheridan, who (as usual) requests that his parents send him a somewhat large sum of money, this time in order to purchase a pair of pure silk pyjamas as that is the only kind that Sheridan's best friend, Tarquin, wears and he doesn't want to be left out.
As we have come to expect, Rose has yet another romantic enagement which has her in raptures, this time, with a Mr. Butterfield whom Hyacinth believes is a member of the family who are 'executive car people'. Naturally, she's wrong and blames her own mistakes on poor Rose.
Meanwhile, Daddy is up to his old tricks again, this time, jumping behind the wheel of Richard's car and taking it for a drive, making it necessary for everyone else to jump in Onslow's old wreck and chase him! Richard is worried about the condition of his car but Hyavinth is more concerned about her tuna mayonnaise!
Predictably, Onslow's old car breaks down and they are left stranded until, fortunately, the vicar and his wife, somewhat reluctantly, offer them all a lift, which is all well and good until they are pulled over by a policeman on a motorbike!moreless
