Episode 4206 (4th June 1997)

Plot
Jack and Vera worry about their first visit from the VAT man. Mike advises Angie to treat the workers in an off-hand way to gain their respect. She insists on treating them like human beings. The Duckworths try to get pally with Mr Brown the VAT man, telling him about Brad when they hear he's just become a grandfather. Steve offers his services to Mike but Mike isn't interested. Judy and Gary have fertility tests and await the results. When he discovers Alan is away on a course Steve calls on Fiona with a bottle of wine to talk about the old days. Against her better judgment she invites him in. Bill is unsettled when he walks in on Kevin and Natalie holding hands. Steve tells Fiona everything went wrong for him when she finished with him. He tells her that he isn't convinced she'll marry Alan. She swears she will. Deirdre tells Ken she's going out with an airline pilot. When Alan returns from his course Fiona doesn't tell him about Steve's visit. Fred invites Maureen to the ballet. Rita tells Bill she's worried about Kevin's relationship with Natalie and tells him that Kevin told her they had had a fling. He can't bear to think of the consequences. Mr Brown tells the Duckworths that although they've paid interim VAT payments every quarter they should have increased the payments, as they now owe £17,650 back-VAT.
