The premise
Here’s the bit.
Ally (Catherine Tate) arrives at a house party to congratulate her friend on a new job and is introduced to a newcomer who has just taken off his cap. Spotting the purple patch on his forehead, she cheerfully tells him to give the hat mark a rub, only to learn it is a birthmark. Rather than drop the subject, she flails through a string of excuses, pretends she meant a different spot, blames the lighting and the shadows, and even reaches up to touch his face, before abruptly asking where everyone else has gone and escaping to another room.

Your hat, it's left a dreadful mark on your head.
It's a birthmark.
