Where Harry is forced to parade around in, let’s say, not the most flattering of costumes. Chosen by his vindictive wife. Followed, by an embarrassing clay-pigeon shoot. And finally, dinner with lots of saucy after-dinner dessertAnd finally, add Pricilla/Bob a switch Transexual, who an individual that can seamlessly from Bob to Pricilla. And is someone who Harry just can’t shake off. Ever since he failed to read the small print on A telephone box escort ad. And a couple of lesbian/bi=sexual detectives.
