The TUC Conference in Brighton provides Eddie with the ideal excuse for a week away from the wife. He is not too pleased though when Bill tells him that he will also be there attending the conference as a Conservative Party observer.

Unfortunately, the simultaneous arrival of their wives, Joan and Barbie, and the two young ladies' husbands results in a swift change in the agenda.
