Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Telecast live from the Grill-o-Mat Snack Bar in Paignton, this episode begins with another round of the Blackmail Quiz Show, culminating with the lucrative (for the host) "Stop the Film" segment. Sir William Gore Fisk tries vainly to escape after delivering the annual financial report for the Society of Putting Things on Top of Other Things. Mr. Praline hosts a discussion on the Population Explosion which ends with a group of POW escapees (including, presumably, Sir William Gore Fisk) burrowing through a painting of "The Last Supper." A butler refuses to believe that a mirror, a china cabinet, and a Brazilian dagger can fall by themselves. And Ken Clean-Air System rubs gravel in his hair before his championship bout with Petulia Wilcox. With all this happening, there's no time for the host's funny walk; maybe next week. Carol Cleveland, Ian Davidson, Connie Booth and "Mrs. Idle" make guest appearances on "Live From the Grill-o-Mat," which originally aired October 27, 1970.
