Further details
Andy takes the bull by the horns and passes his sitcom script to Patrick Stewart (who professes to have written a script himself, mainly about women's clothes falling off). For once, Andy gets a break as he is summoned to the BBC studios in order to write a pilot episode. Interfering but well-intentioned Maggie almost ruins Andy's chances (and their friendship), as she asks his outrageously camp co-writer to curb his homosexual characteristics. She also straightens her hair in an attempt to be more mature. It doesn't work.
