Anniversary, The (Cleese and Booth)
by John Cleese, Connie Booth

Sybil thinks Basil has forgotten their 15th wedding anniversary.

Actually he has arranged for some friends to come round and for Manuel to cook a special paella and there is to be champagne.

Whilst cook Terry is berating Basil for not letting him cook the paella, Sybil drives off in a huff.

Not wanting to confess this to their guests, Basil pretends Sybil is ill.

However they insist on going up to see Sybil and Polly has to don a wig and pretend to be Sybil.
