Plot[]

Len has spent the night at No.7 and is dragged up by Lucille to be ready for his race. He's disappointed to be served a continental breakfast by Concepta while Harry is given a full English. Ken enjoys telling him that Jerry has doubled the course length. Myra makes a list of things for the house she plans to buy. Irma Ogden is interviewed for the job at the corner shop and ends up asking most of the questions. Emily is disappointed that she'll miss the race as it clashes with the mission's Sunday service but Ena tells her she's bringing the time forward. Dennis organises acts for the club boasting to Jack and Concepta that he's acting manager. A man named Gus Lowman turns up on the street as the residents gather to watch the race. The women are amused at the site of Len and Jerry's legs. Ken acts as referee and starter. Frank runs a book. Elsie bets that Len won't finish. Len is hurt that most bets are against him. Ena watches the start as Emily plays the harmonium in her place. Once the contestants have set off, the residents wait with their drinks outside the Rovers. Half way through, Jerry is in the lead while Minnie takes photographs of the racers. Len staggers exhausted down the street before the second lap. He finds the snowy Red Rec hard going. A tape is put up in the street for the final. Emily finishes the service early to see the end result. With a strained ligament, Jerry limps neck-and-neck with Len to the finish line and a draw is declared. He's helped home by Harry and Ken while Len is taken into the Rovers. Jerry confesses to Myra that there's nothing wrong with him - he didn't want to show Len up. His boss quickly recovers with several pints inside him. Frank hands the bet money back as it was a draw but Elsie loses as Len completed the race. Gus overhears Dennis at the bar talking about booking the acts and introduces himself as the club's newly-appointed manager. Dennis is horrified.
