M, S inside a church hall showing a rear view of a pop band playing on the stage; crowds of teenagers dance about (they seem to be just jigging up and down with arms linked).

Two couples sit and chat, flicking through a magazine of interior design. An older woman brings them orange squash. Note: the vicar seen could be Reverend Eric Shipman.
