Bet goes to the park to see the other Silver Jubilee floats, still dressed as Britannia. Ray tells the Bishops they're not going to London after all.

Albert is the judge, Fred prosecutes and Eddie defends. Stan is found guilty and has to buy drinks all round. Ray arranges with Blanche to look after Tracy.
