Melody gets caught up in an argument between a husband and wife over the size of the wife's breasts, after she considers surgery. He insists that she shouldn't have the surgery to make them smaller.

 

Meanwhile, it's Ronnie's 40th birthday and he is worried about what George is planning for him, as everyone seems to know except him. He returns home to find a Mark Anthony costume laid out on their bed. Reluctantly, he puts it on and then finds George in a marquee in the garden dressed in her Cleopatra costume. It turns out to be the best birthday he's ever had!

 

Michelle tries to arrange a double date for her and Ruth. Archie manages to get hold of a friend for Ruth, but he backs out at the last minute, so Archie steps in. Michelle talks to Ruth about Mike and how she plans to offer him a permanent contract, much to Ruth's dismay.

BBC TWO Tuesday 30 September 2008
Losing It – Griff Rhys Jones On Anger Ep 2/2
Tuesday 30 September
9.00-10.00pm BBC TWO

 

Griff Rhys Jones concludes his two-part series on anger in which he addresses his own problem and looks at several different solutions. He also speaks to Rory McGrath, Muriel Gray and Heston Blumenthal about how they have dealt, and continue to deal with, their anger.

 

First, Griff visits a dietician who suggests ways he could alleviate his hyperactivity and calm down through diet.

 

He then goes to Sheffield to meet Glyn Rhodes, a former boxer who set up a gym to help people deal with their aggression. He meets Ross "The Boss" there, one of Britain's most promising young fighters who channels his anger into his profession. Griff is challenged to try boxing himself, to see if it helps to release his frustrations.

 

Another possible solution is meditation. Griff visits a community of 60 monks in the Scottish countryside who follow the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of teaching people to approach the world with compassion rather than anger, through meditation.

 

Finally, he visits the world's leading expert in anger management based in Los Angeles. George Anderson is a psychotherapist who has developed his own form of anger management. The idea is to undergo a thorough analysis of all emotions, to identify situations that might make a person angry or stressful and then to develop skills to gain better control of their behaviour.

 

But which, if any, of these potential solutions help Griff and his anger?
