Radio Times: Tom becomes suspicious and Robert racks his brains.

Characters: Helen, Kirsty, Lynda, Robert, Tom

• Lynda auditions for Robin Hood but apart from Kirsty and Nathan Booth there seems little interest. Tom claims to be too busy, and seized the opportunity to launch into a detailed account of his ready meals successes.
• Helen takes Henry out but he is says no to every suggestion she makes. Finally she takes him to the lagoons, where Tom and Kirsty are cutting back brush, and offers to help. Cheerful Tom comments that Rob was invited to audition but has gone back to Hampshire for his father-in-law’s funeral, whereupon Helen suddenly decides she is not dressed for the work, Henry is getting cold, and rapidly departs. Tom asks Kirsty what is going on. Kirsty is at first evasive, but finally tells Tom that she knows what Helen’s problem is, but is not able to tell him. He will have to ask Helen himself.
• Robert has a bright idea, though is unable to recall what it was. When he remembers, it is to suggest a new slant on Robin Hood along the lines of a Sean Connery film. Lynda likes the idea and has a Connery lookalike in mind; who can it be?
