There is much uncertainty as to the future of Liz and Jim's marriage
still. Jim is still out of work (despite Kevin passing the odd
job to him now and then). Liz continues to work at Skinner's bookies
with Des Barnes. Des has now made several advances towards Liz
- and she has not exactly turned them down. She realises, however,
that her marriage must come first so she suggests that she leaves.
Des says that he will talk to Sean instead and try to get a transfer
himself. After much heavy discussion, Percy comes in and places
a 20p each way bet on Catering Corp ! Last of the big spenders!
Kevin is having trouble with Jim's replacement at the garage.
He must have a ten minute tea break at an exact time, and for
an exact length. Not to mention the fact that he is paid to work
until 5.30pm and NO LONGER. When Kevin has a rush job and he refuses
to work any extra or to ever be flexible, Kevin fires his new
colleage. Mike is annoyed and says that he has no right. Kevin
persuades a new lad (Tony) to join him in the garage. This was
one of the opposition football players in the pub league. In fact,
it was the player that "fouled" Kevin in the match -
the Rovers lost 4-2 incidentally!
The new residents, the Mallets, are going to be an arguementative
and troublesome couple it seems. Gary brings his old drum kit
to the Stone-clad house and plays it all day whilst his wife is
at work - much to Percy's annoyance. When she gets home, all hell
breaks loose and crockery is thrown!! But just after Judy threatens
to go back to her Mother's they end up in an embrace on the sofa.
I still think that the drum kit will have to go!
Reg carries on being distressed about being branded "The
Weatherfield Flasher." He decides to tell Eric Firman that
he will not take the executive position in Lowestoft. He realises
that he cannot run away from the situation with the Police - it
would only make him appear more guilty. As the week progresses,
the flasher is caught at the Pub Football game. Phyllis is there
to support the Rovers' team and he flashes at her. She bashes
him with her handbag and is branded a hero. When Reg hears of
this he realises that he can take the job after all. He follows
his boss to the Halifax branch because Eric was to offer the position
to the manager at Halifax. Reg gets there but believes he is too
late so turns back. He gets stuck on the moors on route back and
ends up shouting at the sheep! He telephones the shop and asks
Maud to pass a message onto Maureen and then onto Curly. Maud
doesn't and keeps quiet, omitting to tell Reg that Eric called
asking him to reconsider taking the job but that he must phone
back before 4pm. When Reg finally gets home at 4.30pm he is angry
at Maud who makes a quick escape to the Rovers with Alf. Despite
his lateness, Reg manages to get the job and must start on Monday.
He says a tearful and emotional "au revoir" to Maureen
who can't help thinking of her Mother not wanting to move home.
"We'll find a way to persuade her, " says Reg, "we'll
hide her teeth or something...."
