Storyline

Yvonne is reading an biography of Noel Coward which contains a photo,taken by Cecil Beaton,of a party Noel gave at the Sparrows' night club,in which Gary figures. When Gary's efforts to stop the photo being taken fail he raids Beaton's studio and destroys the negative but is arrested. Noel and Reg both come to bail him out and accidentally feature in the mug shot the zealous young copper is taking of Gary,rather than Gary himself. This photo now replaces the one of Gary in the book but,whilst Ron accidentally books himself into a holiday with amorous old ladies, Yvonne goes to see Noel's recently discovered play,'Gary and Phoebe'.
