Plot

Graeme and Bill return from their fishing trip to discover that the office wasn't completely clean and Tim has become obese through eating huge amounts of lard. Tim has also taken to listening to a radio show which, it turns out, is also listened to by a lot of housewives (all of whom have also become obese), and this leads the group (Tim included) to a health club, where they slim down again.

Meanwhile Bill and Graeme are cleaning the office themselves, before Tim comes back from the health club. They find that Tim is slim again with a feminine look. Tim continues listening to the radio and the disc jockey announces a Beauty pageant for housewives, called Miss Housewife of the Year, on Friday night at the Royal Albert Hall. Tim enters the contest, but Graeme forbids him to go to the pageant because he's not a housewife - not even a miss - but it's no use. Tim walks off to make himself pretty for the pageant because he won't listen to his friends. When Graeme telephones the radio station, the disc jockey says "Hello Darling?" Graeme answers back "Don't you Darling me, Mate!" and makes the disc jockey accidentally admit why he doesn't want any fat women in the pageant, leading to the disc jockey getting fired for his comments. When the BBC makes an announcement for hiring a new disc jockey to take the previous disc jockey's place, Graeme has an idea to change the Beauty Pageant and takes the job.
