Storyline

The team faces a crisis when Dr Benhamadi, head of the Algerian contingent, notices that the Shared Belief Centre does not face Mecca and threatens a boycott unless a new mosque is built. This angers the French athletes who are against concessions to Algeria but gathers support from other Islamic countries. Despite problems moving into his new flat and welcoming incoming staff member Fi Healey, head of legacy, Ian goes to the Foreign office for a video link-up with Benhamadi to rectify matters. Unfortunately he is let down by a series of technical malfunctions.
