Further details
Pompidou is so cold that he is about to set fire to a pile of chair legs - until Hove intervenes. Fantasising about being on a beach, Pompidou decides he needs a holiday.
At the travel agency he tries to purchase an exclusive beach holiday, one which is going to cost a fortune. Realising that all they can afford is a camping trip, Pompidou and Hove visit a camping supplies store, where Pompidou buys a tent and all the equipment they need.
Pompidou gives Hove a motivational speech on how they will beat the elements, but reluctant to go on a camping holiday because of the cold, they decide to erect the tent in the centre of the caravan... and things go from bad to worse as the night progresses.
