It's only a week until Christmas and Phil is having a problem that a lot of men are having, what to get his wife for a present! Oh that intro made me laugh. Alice tells Phil he doesn't have to buy her anything for Christmas as she has everything she wants, she has Phil. When a woman says that she usually means she wants something small and expensive!
Phil tries to find out what Alice wants by saying he needs some money to buy her mother a present and what does she think his mother-in law would like, something that Alice her self would like. Down at the store it's hilarious as subtle games are being played with Alice pushing Phil towards some expensive silverware. It becomes even funnier when Phil and Remley bump in to their dodgy mate, Grogan who tries to sell them hot goods.
After the show Phil is presented with a Gold Record, by Disc Jockey Bob McLachlan of Club Time, for a record which topped a million copies sold in less than six weeks.
