He is from entertainments H.Q. and is assessing the men for a different reason. If their performance is not up to scratch they will be disbanded - and their best numbers are the ones of which Burgess disapproves. A mix-up in medicals ear-marks Williams for a hated desk job so, unusually, he decides to save the company - so he can stay with it. He waylays Burgess on his way to see the show and keeps him talking long enough so that, when he turns up, he sees only a very chaste song number. De Wolfe, on the other hand, has seen all the saucy stuff and agrees to the party's continuing. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
