Plot
Gail is adamant that she won't be able to afford a mortgage. Martin tells her they could use the £20,000 from Brian's insurance as a deposit. Gail tells him the money is for the children and can't be touched. Bet gets Jack to move Alec's wardrobe out of her bedroom. Percy starts at Bettabuys. Reg tells him to get the kids' mothers to spend lots at the store. Bet decides to have her bedroom decorated. Percy is horrified at the grotty grotto. He refuses to be presented as 'Santa Claus' as it's German. Angie refuses a job at Bettabuys as she doesn't want to be beholden to Curly. Audrey advises Gail to use Brian's money to buy the house. Bet shocks Betty by employing Des Foster as decorator. Gail changes her mind and tells Martin they can use the money; it's for the living not the dead.
