Tea and Sympathy

While trying to come up with his next advertising campaign. Shelley in his pyjamas comes across a young woman, Miss Landis in the upstairs flat who has taken a bottle of sleeping pills.

Shelley now has to panic, call for help and deal with the young woman. Fran and Mrs Hawkins both want him to get properly dressed.

At the hospital Miss Landis told everyone that Shelley is her brother who is an actor. He ends up telling the nurse that he was in 2001: A Space Odyssey. When he goes to explain the situation to the psychiatrist Dr Wellbeloved it just leads to more misunderstandings.

Very cleverly written with both Shelley and Dr Wellbeloved getting exasperated with each other. I was surprised that Shelley did not end up getting sectioned himself.
