Margaret accidentally picks up her neighbour's photos at the pharmacy. Bob insists on sneaking a peak at them and is shocked to find their neighbour and her husband in a series of uncompromising amorous positions.

Based on the Academy Award-winning short film 'Bob's Birthday' created by David Fine and Alison Snowden, this charming, witty animated series focuses on the ordinary lives of a middle class dentist and his foot doctor wife. Together, they tackle such traumas as being burgled, going on a package holiday and deciding whether or not having a child will ruin their lives. They do all this with a gentle restraint and a keen sense of the absurd. Bob and Margaret provides a whole new way to look - and laugh - at life's ordinary occurrences that we all experience.

Bob and Margaret decide they need to get fit. After fruitless attempts at aerobics and working out, they decided on a friendly game of Badminton and rope in another couple, Cathy and her latest boyfriend, Ken. Cathy turns out to be an aggressive player and, amidst acrimonious disputes with Bob about the rules of the game, manages to knock her hapless partner unconscious. Ken is taken to the hospital and Bob and Margaret, reluctantly, accompany him, even though they had never met Ken before this evening. They did, after all, plan to spend the evening together. Presumed 'nearest and dearest' they are invited to talk and sing to try and bring Ken out of his coma. Cathy, in a surprising turn of personality, is distraught over Ken's injury. While Bob and Margaret bicker about how long they have to stay at the hospital, Ken awakes to hear some unflattering comments about Cathy and himself. Eventually Ken recovers and is enjoying his new found status as the center of attention in the hospital. A card game puts him back in his place when Cathy becomes her normal bossy self. Ken stands up to Cathy, to the amazement of the rest of the ward. We end the show with the foursome back on the Badminton court.
