Plot[]
Gail tells Brian that she doesn't want Nicky growing up with a string of "aunties". Brian worries that Gail will limit his access to Nicky. Deirdre tells Alf that she's had enough of him getting at Ken and storms out of the shop, giving her job up. Tom Hopwood takes Hilda to the tea dance. Hilda is annoyed when Phyllis turns up in an identical dress. Percy enjoys leading the dances. Hilda refuses to dance with Phyllis in the room so Phyllis snatches Tom as her partner. Hilda is furious. When a councillor withdraws his advertising from the Weatherfield Recorder, Bob Statham tells Ken that he must decide if he wants to be a newspaper man or a politician; he can't be both.
