Episode 3

Adaptation of George and Weedon Grossmith's novel about the diary of archetypal 'little man' Charles Pooter. Pooter returns from the Mansion House Ball rather squiffy and gives a full account of the evening's interesting events. The following morning he awakes with a terrible headache, believing he has food poisoning. Carrie is furious with her husband's conduct the previous evening. Pooter feels stupefied but in no doubt that trouble stems from going out in society.
