Paul Foreman and Billy Mayhew are packed and ready to go on the vacation they’ve been gifted by Gemma and Chesney Winter-Brown. Friends and family are there to wave them off and Ed Bailey asks if everyone should mark the occasion by singing Summer Holiday. Summer Spellman and Todd Grimshaw have a quick dad-joke duel about Summer not joining them, which she narrowly wins. Instead of the red double-decker London bus driven by Cliff Richard in the 1963 film musical, Paul and Billy will be travelling in the church minibus. Cliff would surely approve. And while the Peter Pan Of Pop and The Shadows got themselves ‘a cryin’, talkin’, sleepin’, walkin’, livin’ doll’, Paul and Billy have loads of inflatable animals stuck to their van.
