Moods (broadcast 3rd December 1998) was the fourth episode of Dinnerladies.
Most of the ladies are in foul moods over silly things whilst Philippa Moorcroft decides to cheer everybody up with a "Bring Your Mother to Work Day". This, however, does not go to plan...
The day starts with Bren bumping into Tony after turning the lights on in the Canteen. Tony reveals that he has had some good news but Bren hurls straight into conversation with the things that men like to receive as gifts. Tony then goes to tell her that he has had a good result on his hospital tests. He tells her that he didn't like the idea that he could die without seeing her in her bra.
Then the Veg Man comes in followed closely by a furious Stan who fails to says hello and who rushes straight into the bathrooms. Dolly then comes in complaining about a piece of metal art outside of the library and once Jean comes in, an argument unfolds about Dolly having not waited for Jean. After signing for the vegetables, the Veg Man leaves and that leaves the argument to move onto Jean's gawping at his buttocks.
Twinkle then trundles in and after Tony tries to listen to her problems, he has to go for a smoke, leaving Bren to listen. Twinkle reckons she might be pregnant due to her late period. Anita then comes in and after Bren says how much she likes her hair- which is different than usual- Anita starts to cry, claiming to look like Fatima Whitbread. She cries and runs into the bathroom before screaming and running back out again. Stan is furious that she had blundered in and Anita runs away. He walks back in ensuring that they spot his cone this time.
Later in the day and Dolly is trying to persuade Bren to go in and talk to Stan. Tony reveals that Phillippa is coming down to have a word with him. Meanwhile, Jane orders her twelve rounds of white but when Tony jokingly asks her whether she would prefer a bottle of wine and a night of sex, she reveals she has cystitis and her usual order goes through. Philippa comes down to try to call Stan out but he just tells her to shove it. The argument between Jean and Dolly changes subject to pelvic floors and Dolly chooses this moment to mention Jean's ex-husband. Philippa then decides that she is going in but then decides otherwise.
Jane is continuously asking about her toast but she keeps getting hushed. Eventually, Anita is told to do it. She says she will soon whilst the argument between Jean and Dolly continues about whose sex life is better. Anita gets to the toast but when Jane compliments Anita on her hair, she starts to crying. Twinkle then tells her to shut up. Meanwhile, Stan throws Philippa out of the bathroom before she decides to keep trying to talk sense to him. Jane is still asking for her toast and the arguments continue to get heated.
Philippa then drags Stan out, Twinkle tells Anita that her hair looks stupid and as Anita runs off, she knocks a pan onto Jean's foot, needing her to get first aid. Finally, Bren does the toast.
