Andy and Jeff plan to get away from it all. But it seems the rest of Flamford is coming too. Stars James Northcote. From 2020.
Jeff and Andy are awaiting their departure from Winifred Holtby International Airport, formerly RAF Flamford Heath, with a major repurposing in the 90s as Flaminâ Wheels Go-Kart Centre.
Theyâve taken advantage of The Flamford Bugleâs 2-for-1 ticket offer to mark the âexciting new routeâ to Rome-Maremma by low budget airline AlexAir.
Theyâre soon joined by Fish Shop Frank, Copper Kettle proprietor and nervous flyer Joyce Rickles and Flamfordâs Number One aged curmudgeon, Mr Truepenny - all of them with an eye for a bargain and all of them fellow 2-for-1 ticketeers.
Frank has already started on the pints (âWhat? Iâm on holidayâ), Joyce has been on a Flying-With-Confidence course (âMy mantra is âTurnipsââ) and Mr Truepenny is behaving more oddly than normal (âI dropped an E earlier and I think itâs kicking inâ). They soon find cheapest is not always best.
As the flight delays mount, so tempers rise and questions are asked.
Whenâs the plane leaving? What is Frankâs secret? Who is Simon? And why does WH Smith sell water in litre bottles which you cannot possibly finish before you reach the security gate?
