Further details

Natalie is determined to get some class into her life, so when her attractive new friend Reverend Garstang invites her to a classical music concert, she's very tempted. Even though her husband Roly isn't happy and her friend Lindy tells her the date will end in tears, Natalie resolves to go through with it.

It's a last chance to taste the sophistication that she feels is rightfully hers. Shame then, that the date goes so disastrously wrong for all concerned. When Roly discovers that Reverend Garstang is taking Natalie out, he knows he has to act to save his marriage and decides to confront him.
