A COMEDY DRAMA - Bonfire night, and Sheila, Denise, Julie, and Fay are a team on the Pennine Mineral Water’s annual outward-bound weekend. The ladies have elected Sheila as their team leader, and she has used her cryptic crossword skills to totally misinterpret the clues.

As a result, the ladies find themselves marooned on an island in the middle of Derwentwater. Using their ingenuity, the ladies construct tools, shelter and a rescue flag from the contents of Julie’s cavernous rucksack.

Questions are asked, and frustrations aired as the ladies attempt to survive on Sheila’s Island.
