In this story by Ray Cooney and John Chapman, Timothy Westerby (Tony Wood) is overworked, underpaid, stressed-out, and his daughter is getting married in what he thinks is an overly-expensive ceremony.\u00a0\u00a0He is ripe for a nervous breakdown \u2013 and, on the morning of the wedding, he has one! It takes the form of \u2018Polly\u2019 (Anne\u00a0Farrell), the most gorgeous, voluptuous girl who just wants to give herself to Timothy.\u00a0\u00a0The trouble is that she\u2019s an apparition.\u00a0\u00a0This fact is, of course, not apparent to Timothy who is convinced that Polly is totally real and is delighted to have this sexy guest at the wedding.\u00a0\u00a0Timothy\u2019s wife (Ruth Kerrigan), his mother-in-law, his daughter (Deborah Hester) and the groom\u2019s parents take a different view!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Wood, as Timothy, arrives home at one point with a cardboard cut-out of Polly, which cleverly springs to life after he bangs his head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Bennett produces,\u00a0assisted by Julie Wood. Maureen Heath joins, and will stay for 19 years doing many jobs and many roles.\u00a0\u00a0Ruth Kerrigan re-joined after an 11 year gap, to play Ursula.\u00a0\u00a0She\u2019ll stay for 24 years. Choreography was by Margaret Twelves who had started the pantomime group back in 1975<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advance publicity included a \u201cfloat\u201d in the village with Clare and Mark Winton as the bride and bridegroom (and newly-weds in real life)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
