Episode 2814 (25th December 2000)

==Plot==
It is Bernice’s hen night. The women return to The Woolpack after a night out and are extremely drunk. Gloria dashes to the restroom to be sick. The women down tequila shots and engage in a game. They have a row of underpants belonging to various men of the village, and Bernice must guess who owns which pair. Bernice becomes uneasy as everyone begins discussing Carlos and goes upstairs to change her dress. Diane greets a young man named James, the stripper, at the back door and directs him to the kitchen to change. Gloria makes the decision to return home. Bernice, on the other hand, is staring into the mirror, looking miserable. The stripper informs Diane that this is his first time and he is unsure whether he can pull it off. Tricia discovers Bernice sobbing upstairs and inquires as to what is causing her distress. Bernice brings up Gavin, and Tricia advises her to forget about him, eventually revealing that Gavin had an affair with Stella. In the kitchen, Betty consoles a weeping James. Betty informs him that she was formerly a windmill girl and that this is merely a job. Bernice and Tricia reappear in the pub, more happier. Betty re-enters the room, followed by the stripper dressed as a vicar, who successfully does his act. Bernice is kissed by Tricia and Diane.
