The important detail, the year this happened, is left out. Cling film was invented during his lifetime so it had to be new to him at some point. Of course, the later the more embarrassing.
The phrase "asked her husband" implies it was 2005 at the earliest, which I think is pretty embarrassing
It's also entirely possible that the shriek was for comic effect, but the serious people in the room took it seriously.
"Remarkable! There is an invisible force-field around my dinner!"
