Plot
In a desperate bid to prove his manliness, Lee joins Tim, Daisy and Lucy on a camping weekend. Lee imposes a ban on all gadgets, including phones and sat-navs, which proves a problem when they break down in a supposedly haunted wood. He then heads out and "fixes" the car. Lee takes on the man's job and heads into the dense thicket, looking for a man-sized creature Lucy claimed to have spied. He and Tim encounter a clown-masked figure and flee to the safety of the car, where they sleep until the clown and an army of masked people show up. This terrifies the foursome, particularly when Lee has to get out to ring the police (Daisy revealed that she had her phone on her all the time), and the figures surround the car. Lee attacks the original clown and rips the mask off his face, to discover that he is a middle-aged man, and he tells him that he and his friends had flocked to this spot in the belief that they would see dogging, since the area they've parked at is well known for this. At the end, Lucy retracts her original comments about Lee not being much of a man as they camp in the living room of the flat.
