Synopsis

It's Bridget's birthday, and she wants to celebrate with her friends. However, each one is too busy with their own tasks—Rodney has to 'see a man about a dog,' Penelope is 'up to her eyes,' and Regis is 'washing his hair.' Disappointed, Bridget prepares to spend her birthday alone. But when her friends realise they've forgotten her special day, they come together to throw a surprise party, showing that friendship is more important than a busy schedule.
