The title itself hints at a situation where the number of characters present becomes significant to the story’s development. In this particular instalment, the two central characters, Chrissy and Robin, find themselves alone at home for an evening. With no chaperone to oversee them, the atmosphere shifts, allowing the more flirtatious side of the trainee chef to emerge. The plot revolves around how this unmonitored setting brings a hint of romance to the otherwise domestic scene. The episode is presented as a comedy, using the absence of supervision to generate humour from the characters’ interactions. The light‑hearted tone is reinforced by the inclusion of Richard O’Sullivan, who appears as part of the cast, adding his familiar comic presence to the proceedings. Overall, the story concentrates on Chrissy and Robin’s solitary night in, using the lack of a guardian to let the trainee chef’s amorous tendencies surface, which in turn fuels the comedic situations that drive the episode forward.
