ALL PLAY AND NO DADVIS MAKE ADULL...WELL...STILL DULL I'M AFRAID
Great God Almighty, prison has turned Charlie into a whining bitch. He's a broken man, reduced to staring blankly at early morning makeover programmes and growling at his family as they grovel and beg his forgiveness. He says that he knew where he stood in prison, which leads me to think it's all a big cover up for the fact that he didn't really want to come home because he was enjoying being the wife of Knuckles McNulty or whoever. Even Sullen shouting at him doesn't shock him into a semblance of sanity, and he retreats back to the TV in time for Big Strong Boys.

Ethel has a hangover, but then remembers that she forgot to tell Fool that she'll be moving in with Tink after they're married. Fool seems nonplussed by this. That's what married people do, mate. Remember? That's why you share a room with Slutty now. He comes up with the magical brainwave that Tink can move in chez Moon. Ummm where? Poor old Ethel seems to be sleeping on the sofa already. Tink seems to agree to this all too readily for somebody with his own private income and place of his own.

Moomin passes her driving theory test. Be very afraid.

NC subplot involving Eco Warrior Mickney trying to get the Bealemeister's chip van to run off recycled chip fat, with hilarious consequences (not). AGarry is poor, so Mickney bribes the Bealemeister with a free service, and fries up a romantic fish supper for AGarry and Sullen, who must be about four months gone now, and still isn't showing in the slightest - lucky cow.

So, back at the Ferreiras, everybody's shouting at Adull; he didn't open the threatening letters from the building society because they were marked "Private and Confidential". Ash shouts his way into the building society manager's office, and learns that Dadvis has only made one mortgage payment ever. They have to find £12K before the end of the month or they're all homeless. Look, just get Madhur to sell a few books and you're sorted, guys. Adull has a Big Revelation - that Dadvis hated him - and takes the Elvis suit off to the allotments to burn it. Ash finds him sobbing "betrayed...BETRAYYYYED!" over a smoking brazier. We get a mildly touching and quite well-acted history of Adull's trials at the hands of Dadvis, but Adull isn't a victim any more, he's a big strong man and about to blossom as a creative force, says Ash (yeah, whatever). They ceremoniously burn Dadvis's Elvis shades, but keep the rest of the costume for some reason that is unfathomable to man or beast.
