Terry decides to rent a video recorder so he can watch the late night films the next day. Sir Dennis receives a phone call reminding him about a reunion he promised to attend. He is annoyed when he discovers that it will cause him to miss the final of a television bridge series that he has been following for several weeks. Terry offers to record the programme on his new recorder. Sir Dennis is delighted and says he'll come round to watch the recording after his reunion. When Terry returns home he finds that June has cancelled the free trial and sent the video recorder back to the rental shop. Terry persuades Malcolm to record the programme and bring his recorder round for Sir Dennis to watch it, but unfortunately Beattie has mixed up the tapes leaving them with a recording of The Sound of Music. Shortly before Sir Dennis is due to arrive the video rental man delivers a copy of the bridge programme which June had asked him to record. Moments later Sir Dennis telephones to say that he left the reunion early and watched the programme live at his club. June says at least they will be able to go to bed but Terry announces that when he told Sir Dennis they had a copy of The Sound of Music he said that he would come round and watch that instead.

Back on the boat the smelly cheese clears the ferry's passenger lounge, but at Dover Terry encounters a Customs man with a head cold who is determined to examine his luggage. Rather than pay the duty on the half litre of wine by which he is over his limit Terry instead drinks it, becoming tipsy. Outside in the car park Terry heads for his car and a policeman asks him to take a breathalyser but luckily June is already in the driver's seat. On leaving the port, where they have parked illegally, Terry presents the now stinking cheese to a delighted parking attendant as a gift.
