10m
The tension is palpable when MADELEINE catches FRAN outside the off-license buying a cheap bottle of wine for Wine Club. At Mary’s front door they meet KAREN holding a half-filled bottle of Chianti, (her heel got caught in the escalator). They enter, greeting MARY, motherly wine expert. Madalaine mocks Fran’s cheap wine to them all and Mary tells Madalaine off for missing the point.
The wine’s flowing thick and fast, and before they know it it’s time for Madeleine’s pudding wine. Fran thinks it’s disgusting, while Karen quite likes it. Madeleine is insulted - it was made by Gerard Depardieu! A violent argument erupts over Hugh Grant vs Gerard Depardieu. The tensions that underpin the group rise to the surface in an instant and the strength of their friendship is tested - will the group pull through to next month? Will Hugh Grant be there!?
