After a long winter together the chef decides to organise a formal dinner to celebrate. Everyone is invited but they are warned they need to mind their manners. The station inhabitants unable to change their winter ways one by one start breaching dining etiquette. Bad behaviour will not be tolerated!!

A trailer for the 'upcoming' blockbuster, "The Call". Screening at a 24 Hour's of Daylight location near you this summer. For 2013, the elements were: the sound of an "Authentic Sneeze", a Table Tennis Ball (Ping Pong Ball), a Bath Tub, someone must say "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir", the character "The Gingerbread Man". And let me just say, if at any point you find yourself asking "What the hell..?", just remember - When there are no women around, BOYS WILL BE BOYS!!! This version has the full credits - now including Bob's amazing friend Helene. In our extreme tiredness in the post-midnight final editing rush, we missed her from the original credits.... our sincerest apologies, without you this couldn't have been pulled off! ;)
