SHAMMY AND RICKAY GET LAID
Dot fusses around Jim in a sort of passive agressive way. They watch Casablanca (as do Nat and Pat) and Learn Valuable Lessons about choosing the right person when you're in a love triangle. Also Nat and Barry have a nice family day out and Nat looks grumpy a lot.

Non comedy carry ons with Fool and the Four Barmaids of the Apocalypse - one of them has fifteen children, one of them has a giant psycho boyfriend and third is a god botherer. The only one who can pull a pint is a sassy black lady with shiny lipstick who flirts a bit with Bad Brutha. Hmmm, I wonder which one is going to stay?

There is a new street sweeper. He looks like a non-minger version of Robbie but is otherwise completely opposite to him in that he is a bit mean and has more than two brain cells. It's Bizarro-Robbie! Wellard always barks at him because he can tell he is from another dimension. Bizarro-Rob makes fun of Pike and Mo and says "I'm a student. This is only a poxy summer job for me" (starting in March but whatever). B-Rob and the marketeers play practical tricks on each other.

Moomin and Sonia go out for a drink. Wellard disappears (perhaps to call his agent) leaving only his lampshade attachment behind.

When Sham finds out that Rickay is single again she plots complicated womanly ruses to get him into bed. Basically she pretends a man is coming round for tea then pretends that he stood her up and then pretends to be sad so that Rickay feels sorry for her and has the meal with her instead. Then she tells him what she did and snogs him, because pulling someone the day after they have been dumped is always a recipe for a successful relationship.
