Plot[]
Percy prepares for the community centre dance. He is horrified to discover the DJ named Barry Pollard calls himself 'Kaiser Bill'. Vera calls Henry Wakefield a "scab", causing him to give his notice in. Mike sacks him so that he can go onto the dole and gives him an extra week's wages. Christine Millward tells Mike that he has to realise their relationship is purely professional. Henry gets drunk before taking Hilda to the dance. Alf takes Rita to the dance, Terry takes Andrea. Gail is annoyed when Brian has to work and she has to go to the dance alone. Curly gets together with Shirley and takes her home. Henry snatches the microphone and tells the dancers that they're a miserable lot. He walks out. Hilda finds that he's not at home but has left his key. Percy dodges Phyllis all night. She grabs him for the ladies' excuse me. Rita agrees to go dancing with Alf again.
