Plot[]
Kevin doesn't know how to tell Bill that there's no room for him at No.13. The Duckworths plan how to spend their money. Jack feels they need a car and Vera considers buying a business like the corner shop. Eric Firman confides in Reg that he is going to retire and let a younger man run Firman's Freezers. Liz thinks she's pregnant. Don and Josie take the kids to Heaton Park. Don tells Josie that she has really brightened up his life. Curly worries about why Reg and Eric have had exclusive meetings without him. He fears it's redundancy whilst Reg thinks Eric is going to make him boss. Vera gets the particulars of some businesses, including the corner shop. Jack warms to the idea of owning his own off-licence. Jim is stunned by Liz's news and reminds her that the doctor warned her against having more children. The Holdsworths celebrate the news that a couple are interested in buying the shop but are horrified when the Duckworths arrive for a viewing.
