Episodes[]
- GOING STEADY - When Stan declares his love for Blakey's niece Sally, it doesn't go down too well with Jack, Mum, Arthur and Olive, not to mention old Blakey himself. Undaunted, he invites Sally and her Uncle Blakey round one evening but the inevitable happens and it all ends in disaster.
- THE NEW UNIFORMS - When Stan and Jack are reprimanded by Blakey for their scruffy uniforms, they are immediately recruited as guinea pigs for the new style uniforms. However, their contempt for their new dress code soon turns to delight when two beautiful Swedish girls mistake them for airline pilots - but how long can the charade last?
- BREW IT YOURSELF - When Stan takes up Jack's idea of home-brewed beer he doesn't realise the strength of what he has concocted. His first taste leaves him paralytically drunk at work facing Blakey and a breathalyser bag. When he gets home he finds the rest of the family drunk - so much so that Arthur actually finds Olive attractive. With this sort of potency Stan and Jack must try it out on the clippies!
- THE CISTERN - Toilet troubles for Stan when the cistern packs up and wakes the whole household but this is only the beginning of his pronlems. After shopping for a new one, he has to get it back home on the bus with only the reluctant co-operation of Jack for assistance and the persistent interference of Blakey to cope with - surely things can't get any worse?
