Once home, I couldn’t wait any longer. I watched a recording of the pre- watershed family sitcom first.Ten minutes in, there it was: Gag Zero. Oh no, no, no! Broadcast at the same time as I was floundering to a Baptist minister. I didn’t even watch the rest of the episode; I skipped straight to the 9.30 p.m. show to see if Gag Zero made a second unwelcome appearance.

I knew it belonged in the first five minutes, and when the scene it belonged in didn’t appear, I high-fived myself. They cut it out! I would live! Admittedly they might have cut it out because some editor-in-chief spotted Gag Zero at zero hour, in which case I might still be for the high jump, but for now I was jumping for joy.

I texted Zoë the good news. She replied instantly saying she was delighted, and thanks for the prayer message asking her to please wash her hands. She’d be more than happy to wash her hands of my doubling up worries, and could we now get back to this wedding table-plan.

Later that week, I spoke to the producer of the other sitcom nonchalantly in passing, for no reason or anything, just saying hi, and by the way were there many last-minute cuts in that episode?

Yes, he said. That scene involving the football, the children and the kitchen implement sadly had to go, just because of time, and the plot made equal sense without it. Sorry, he said.

‘Oh no need to apologise ...’ I replied.And that would have been the perfect time to make good on my wish to confess all.

I did not make good on that. I’m not meant to confess to a Baptist minister, and I couldn’t bring myself to confess to the producers. So I’m going to confess here. Well I mean I have. I’m not now going to write the chapter out again.That would be doubling up.

45 They’re not Opal Fruits, and he’s lying to himself.
