Plot[]
Brian is embarrassed when Bert sends him £10 for his birthday. Jack threatens Terry with violence if he goes on about him working late in the cab. The vicar at All Saints Church agrees to marry Eddie and Marion. On discovering Eddie is a bin man, Reverend Nuttall asks him to remove an old mattress. Winifred Willis is furious to discover Eddie has booked the Rovers for the reception. She tells him that she refuses to let it happen. Eddie tells her that he's had enough of her moaning; it's their wedding. She respects him for standing up to her. Alf's car breaks down in Radcliffe. Hitchhiker Kevin Webster repairs it on the spot so Alf gives him a lift back. He encourages him to ask Brian for a job. Brian agrees to interview him. Eddie doesn't know who to ask to be his best man. Terry and Vera are annoyed when Jack can't afford all his mortgage money. Terry has to sub him and threatens to leave home if Jack is short again.
