Plot[]
Len doesn't like Bet spoiling his fun at the Morecambe caravan. Bert warns Ivy not to try to split Brian and Gail up. Renee isn't keen when Alf does a time and motion study at the shop. Bet refuses to leave the caravan. Brian asks Gail to marry him soon - she agrees. Suzie gets a job phone canvassing selling dancing lessons. Len goes fishing with Alec Keegan and Tony Ball leaving Rita and Bet to entertain themselves. Bert is pleased that Brian plans to marry next month and tells Gail he couldn't have found a nicer girl. Alf reorganises the shelves so Renee can't find anything but he forgets where he's put some products. Bert tells Ivy to keep her mouth shut but she tells Brian to ask Gail who Roy Thornley is.
