Me and My Girl

The Ideal Husband (1x3)

Air date: Sep 14, 1984

Whilst Derek's family is away he plans a secret date with a passionate woman called Glenda, whom Simon knows to have a reputation. He tries to stop Derek from meeting her in an attempt to save his marriage. But Derek ignores him and goes on the date a happy, carefree man. The next day Simon brings Samantha to the office to find Derek laid out on his desk with his trousers missing. Simon fears that Derek may have done something to ruin his marriage but Derek cannot remember anything and he too is worried about his marriage. Then a man called Mr Sharma returns to the office with Derek's trousers to explain that whilst Derek was out with Glenda at his restaurant, he had got rather drunk and leapt up to phone his wife. Glenda, annoyed by the love he had shown for his wife, had thrown his dinner over him. Shocked, Derek had leapt up and knocked himself out on a lamp. Mr Sharma had brought him to the office and washed his trousers.
