Episode 5893 (19th November 2004)

Plot
Charlie tells Les the council will charge him for the repairs as the bath was too big, so he helps make it look like the original bath fell through due to rot-infested joists. After a close call, council surveyor Eddie Thorburn falls for the trick and asks Charlie to send him an estimate for the bill.

Karen lets the tyres down on the Barlows' car, and Tracy takes her the bill. The Barlows find the wheels gone off the car. Steve's dismayed to find Karen in the lounge with the wheels. Tracy uses Liz's spare key to get back the wheels from the McDonald's flat, infuriating Karen when she returns to find them gone. Steve and the Barlows wonder where their childish behaviour will end.

Meanwhile, Ron declares the Duckworth's house the nomination for Working Class Monument of Greater Manchester. Vera's ecstatic, but disappointed Frankie can't go shopping. She borrows Frankie's expensive bag. Ron and Jack are celebrating their successful scam when Jack receives a phone call, Vera's been mugged. Arriving at the hospital, Vera's distraught Frankie's handbag's been stolen and blames her vanity for the whole thing. Jack's guilty as it's all his fault.

Sean and Kelly end their evening snuggled up in bed together. Although this is all platonic, Kelly's pleased with her progress.

Elsewhere, Frankie watches Jamie's practice match where he plays well.
