S1E1 Monday

On a seemingly ordinary Monday morning, chaos erupts at Bren's canteen when Norman, the bread supplier, fails to deliver the essential granary torpedoes. Bren faces a dilemma: should she approve the delivery note? Meanwhile, Jean is consumed with organizing her daughter's wedding and searching for entertainment options. Bren's mother, Petula, unexpectedly visits with her own suggestions, though they might not be suitable. Tony heads to the hospital for updates on his cancer treatment. Amidst this turmoil, Anita is in tears (due to her period), Twinkle struggles with spelling minestrone, and the gravy remains untouched. New HR representative Philippa insists on initiating team-building activities, including Scottish country dancing.
