The premise

Here’s the bit.

The writers debate who might feel targeted by their hotel sketch and decide to create something relentlessly cheerful instead. Lara suggests golf, and the group build a scene from compliments, gratitude and agreeable people. They become delighted by how little there is to object to, until David proposes an addition that puts their careful plan at risk.
