that Tim and Graeme are searching for a replacement for Bill, Tim receives an application for the job by telephone. The applicant is obviously Prince Charles. Tim hangs up the phone and Graeme asks: "Who was that?" to which Tim replies: "I'm not sure, but I think it was Bluebottle." Also, during this time, the doorbell rings and Graeme opens the door. The strains of the Liberty Bell March come through the open door and Graeme tells them: "Push off! We don't want your type here!" Graeme slams the door shut, saying: "Bloody Band of the Coldstream Guards!" The replacement reporter who turns up to take Bill's place at the Clarion & Globe is none other than Bill's lost love, Mildred Makepeace, who no longer seems interested in him. Mildred's beauty pleases Tim and Graeme, but it also masks some hidden depths which neither Tim nor Graeme appreciate in a workplace colleague. They decide to get Bill back as the newspaper's reporter, but Mildred had already taken over the business and does not allow Tim and Graeme to have time off and tells them if they're leaving the office, they'll never coming back. The two ignored Mildred's snobbiness and are shocked about what Bill have written in his letter. Bill attempts to commit suicide by signing up to take part in the Eurovision Raving Loony Contest as the British competitor. The "Eurovision Raving Loony Contest" is a contest in which the competitors attempt to harm, maim, and preferably, kill, themselves in the most spectacular way possible (points awarded on spectacle and success of attempt). Bill takes on all the most dangerous feats he can think of. Tim and Graeme sign on to take part in the Eurovision Raving Loony Contest, as competitors for the rest of the world, so that they can guard Bill from harm. However, while Bill remains unhurt throughout his adventures, Tim and Graeme pay the penalty for their altruism and good intentions by suffering in their quest to save Bill.
