Let's Talk Turkey (2x2)

Air date: Jan 25, 1985

Simon and Derek have to impress a new client in order to get him to hire their company. The man, Mr Taylor, has made a huge fortune selling turkeys. During their meeting, Simon fails to impress Mr Taylor and his brought-along ladyfriend. By chance he stares out of the window to see a street entertainer dressed as a turkey. He announces that in Mr Taylor's campaign a performing turkey should feature strongly. Mr Taylor likes this idea. However, when Simon needs to speak to the street performer the man is missing, so he persuades Derek to dress up as a turkey. Whilst doing this Derek sees the performer and runs over to him. The performer, horrified that someone had copied his act, attacks Derek. He then returns to the offfice, where Mr Taylor is waiting, in a torn and battered costume. Mr Taylor is unimpressed and leaves. They lose his account.
