Beth's Flu

Beth is ill and has taken to her bed. Ian and Gordon have popped over to give Eric a hand. If ever there’s a time Beth is desperate to be left alone, it’s now - but on hearing about Beth’s flu, Christine turns up with homemade soup. The interruptions continue as Cathy and Colin arrive, who suggest all Beth needs is someone with a bit of personality to go and see her.

Up and down the stairs like a yo-yo, Eric tends to Beth’s needs, reassuring her that nobody will disturb her. But the neighbours have decided Eric isn’t coping, and it’s a competition to see whether a hot toddy or soup made from a good ham bone will do the trick in nursing Beth back to health.
