Plot
Emily is alarmed to discover Arnold has been telling people they're buying a bungalow in Derbyshire. She feels she doesn't want to live in the country but he tells her she will. Fellow binman Johnny Webb needs somewhere to live for a couple of days as he and his wife have split up. Eddie suggests he asks Stan who agrees when he offers money but specifies that Johnny must leave before Hilda returns. Johnny pays £25 and Stan has to sleep on the sofa. Arnold asks Len to fit a new front door at No.3. He wants the house looking perfect for selling. Arnold shows Emily brochures of cottages in Bakewell but she doesn't want to leave the street. Martin and Karen plan to continue seeing each other in secret at No.11. Elsie refuses to let Martin get into trouble and tells Karen she can't visit No.11. Martin accuses Elsie of being rotten.
