Gamble

Plot
Christmas is in the air and both the dinnerladies and the Planning Department decide to wage a bet as to whether or not they will get together before Christmas. It doesn't help gossip when they both arrive late to work together- which is actually due to Tony's hospital appointment. With Anita's appalling Christmas present ideas and Dolly's new obsession with novelty hot-water bottles, something strange is in the air. However, that is soon ended when Tony and Bren kiss... then walks in Bren's husband.
