Mick's Return

Having separated from his younger wife Elena, Mick returns to Alan and Joyce's, parking on their drive in his large campervan and becoming a dressing gown-wearing liability.

Alan has a new job, with a manager who is clearly out to get him. Mick tells him not to stand for it and he quits.

At the local fete Trevor is in a quandary as he has got a diary clash, having promised to be a clown at the same time as run the tombola for Carol. Alan comes up with a solution - do both!

Meanwhile, Mick has put the fear into John about their routine relationship. Mick suggests role play, so John suggests it to Maureen. Maureen is reluctant at first, but when she gets the chance to play doctor suddenly she's in her element, dishing out advice while selling bric-a-brac at the fete.

Joyce tells Alan he has to beg for his job back - before she leaves for the fete she tries to persuade Mick to leave, with interesting results.

Mick has a quiet word with Alan's boss at the fete and sorts things out, while Joyce tries to tell everyone what she has learned about Mick - but no-one believes her...
