Jean, the branch organiser of a slimming club, is frustrated by the late arrival of her charges. Even when the motley collection of members have all arrived, it is clear that the slimming aspect of their weekly meetings is the last thing on their minds! The arrival of a new member, together with Jean’s revelation of grim news from the club’s head office, eventually forces them all to re-evaluate their reasons for trying to slim in the first place. Although their resolve is hardly strengthened, they are forced to dream up a scheme that will fulfil everyone’s wishes whilst leaving honour intact.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daily radio show ‘The Mrs Hickson Story’ has aired for many many years, and as much as the stars would like to keep it going, signs are beginning to show of its conclusion. Amid rumors and gossip on how long the show has left to run and what the replacment will be; it’s not until an outsider to the series shares their thoughts on the show that the esteemed actresses realise that the end is a lot closer than they’d like to believe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
