Written by [[The Goodies]], with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

==Plot==
Tim is fed up with being ignored by the overworked and short-tempered Bill and Graeme, and suggests a three-week holiday for two in a ramshackle, poorly designed, leaky cottage called Dunsquabblin. After battling dismal weather, boredom, indoor birdwatching and failed attempts at relaxation, the team decide to stage 'a musical evening'.

==Cultural references==
* Bill impersonates [[Animal (Muppet)|Animal]] from ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' during his assault on the pots-and-pans drumkit.
* The episode ends with a parody of ''[[The Good Old Days (UK TV series)|The Good Old Days]]'', a long-running [[BBC]] variety series, which degenerates into an [[Oi!]] shoutalong, complete with a destructive finale reminiscent of [[The Who]].

==Notes==
* Graeme makes references to [[Space Invaders]], an early and extremely popular arcade game and plays with an oversized prop [[Rubik's Cube]] in one scene.
* On the DVD audio commentary, [[Bill Oddie]] notes that the card game played in this episode, 'Spat', bears some resemblance to [[Mornington Crescent (game)|Mornington Crescent]] from Brooke-Taylor and Garden's radio series ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue]]''.
