Close Encounters
Sitcom. When Vincent receives a visit from a tax inspector, he decides that it would be a good time to get out of the showroom and spend more time with the family.
When Vincent receives a visit from a tax inspector pursuing him for unpaid tax, he decides that now would be a good time to get out of the showroom and spend more time with the family. A trip to Southend doesn't go exactly as planned, but he still wins brownie points from the wife and kids. Fitzpatrick and Lavender clash over the ethics of Page 3 when an opportunity to photograph Brendan the fitter's daughter for a competition in The Sun arises. Meanwhile, Vincent's side-business - pirating copies of ET on VHS in the backroom of the showroom - is still rolling out in his absence.
