Episode 6022 (8th May 2005)

Plot
Cilla's fed up, everything in the Battersby household is falling apart. Kirk gets an electric shock off the toaster and the fridge door comes off its hinges. She doesn't want to go to work, and Les has to force her out of the door. As Cilla finds working in the chippy stressful, with Eileen and Janice continuing to poke fun, Les buys her a second-hand sunbed to cheer her up. Cilla's delighted.

Cilla has a brain wave; she tells Les to propose to her so they can replace all their knackered household appliances with new ones as wedding presents. Les and Cilla get engaged.

Mel continues to scrounge drinks. He sucks up to Fred and Norris saying he's named two of the heroes in his novel after them. He also dupes Roy into giving him a free lunch in the café.

Meanwhile, Candice prepares for an interview for an eye-in-the-sky traffic reporter's job. She stands on a step-ladder with a map spread out on the carpet.

Danny and Frankie have lunch at Mike's. Penny joins them and is upset explaining her house has been burgled.

Elsewhere, Sally, Kevin and the girls have a day out to Blackpool.
