Plot
David discovers he can't adopt as he'd only be using the child as a stop gap until Irma became pregnant. Ken is annoyed that he has to tutor John Potter at night but he needs the money. Irma suggests they try fostering. Ken finds teaching John is hopeless as he's too thick. Dennis is annoyed when Wally Tanner turns No.11 into an OAP home with all his friends. He makes Wally feel that he's not wanted. The Potters are angry that Ken thinks John will never pass his GCE's. They tell him they'll find another teacher. Wally leaves No.11. Ena reveals he had somewhere else lined up. Albert arranges a tug-of-war between the Rovers and the "Flying Horse" on Christmas Morning. Val begs Ken to give John another chance and he agrees.
