Notes
- In possibly a unique error, the title name of the programme did not appear on this episode. The title sequence cut out early to a shot of the Street over which the Coronation Street caption should have appeared but it was inadvertently missed out.
- TV Times synopsis: Maxine and Maureen have a day of surprises. Mike and Alma’s dinner party doesn't go quite as planned.
- Viewing Figures: UK broadcast - 15,210,000 viewers (6th place - combined figure including repeat).
