Barman (Episode 1312)

The Barman served Alan Howard in a London bar where he was getting drunk after mistakenly thinking that his wife Elsie, unconscious in a hospital in the capital after being knocked down by a taxi, had made the visit to meet her old boss Dennis Maxwell who he suspected she was having an affair with. In reality, Elsie had secretly come down to visit her son Dennis Tanner who was incarcerated in Pentonville Prison.

The barman spoke to another punter about a third party who had bought an expensive motor. He saw Alan’s distracted state and asked if there was anything wrong. Alan brusquely replied "Bloody Women". The barman agreed and went back to the first man, talking about the car buyer having a lot of front about him.
