   There's a new buzz in the Royle family household, as it's a special time for Jim and Barbara and a celebration is planned. Poor Mary from next door can't be present though as, sadly, she has lost all bladder control and has leaked in a number of shops in the precinct. Jim and Barbara have received a gift of money from their loving children, but what to do with it ? Barbara wants to go abroad for the first time having only been away once on their honeymoon to Ormskirk. Will Jim persuade Barbara that an HD satellite box is a more appropriate way to spend their children's generous gift ? Tension mounts, a family discussion ensues - the question is where will they go ? Down to the television superstore as Jim suggests, or Barbara's dream holiday to the Bermuda triangle ?
