Episode 2346 (26th September 1983)

Plot
Ken calls on Bob Statham about replacing Pamela Mitchell on the Weatherfield Recorder. Statham tells him he wants a partner rather than an employee. Rita and Mavis go on a day trip to Saddleworth for something to do. Ivy rows with the Tilsleys over their plans to sell the house. They accuse her of being too sentimental. Ivy thinks they're spoilt. Mavis and Rita call at Victor's cottage. They are put out when a Mrs Pendlebury answers the door. Mavis is stunned. Ivy tells the Tilsleys that they could sell the house and move in with her, rent free. Ken admits to Deirdre that Statham has asked him to put money into the paper and become its editor. He feels it could be a challenge and a risk as it would take all his redundancy money and their savings.
